I'm British, I've been to the US.

American bread is obviously weird. It has a ridiculous shelf life.

Almond milk and all "milks" are political bullshit, it's prole feed.

And sugar, well...

I don't know. Grandma's home cooking, you know? Cake was a rare treat.

Grandmas home cooking involved 4-5 choices of cakes / cookies after every meal.

However, >95% of the ingredients were flour, sugar, eggs and butter.
