Flax Seed Bread
“I find that a duck’s opinion of me is influenced by whether or not I have bread. A duck loves bread, but he does not have the capability to buy a loaf. That’s the biggest joke on the duck ever. If I worked at a convenience store, and a duck came in and stole a loaf of bread, I would let him go. I’d say, ‘Come back tomorrow, bring your friends!’ ― Mitch Hedberg
But don't actually feed them bread, it's bad for them!
Believe it not ducks shouldn't actually eat bread but people feed it to them anyway what you should feed ducks is the specific food for ducks sold in the pet isle of stores such d mill worms and other actual foods ducks are supposed to eat 🦆
Peas and such are a good alternative.
Goddamn I thought it just caused them to starve to death that's fucked
Well so is them starving but still
Everybody talking about the ducks, but is no-one else absolutely jarred by the man hating on the tiniest improvement on the abomination that is American wonderbread? Like come on, be happy that you are going one step closer to salvation and actual tasty bread by buying soft sponge with at least some flax seed added. Flax seeds are delicious.
Traditionally baked bread doesn't "squish". It had to be durable without all the modern conveniences. You just couldn't waste calories.
Traditional doesn't mean better. If it seems that way, then it's because the more horrendous practices have been abandoned. I'm just saying, if it squishes, then it's just "American bread" with seeds thrown in.

Oh squishiness definitely exists in traditional styles. It's also the type of bread you eat the same day as it was baked, though.

In an American context yes it does: They abandoned sourdough. A good bread takes time, most of it ripening the dough, having microorganisms pre-digest the thing while producing aroma and no I'm not talking yeast, those come on top of that.
If you look at the ingredients of Germany's top-selling Toastbrot, what you'd call sandwich bread, you see:
Weizenmehl, Wasser, Weizensauerteig (Weizenmehl, Wasser), Butterreinfett (2,7 %*), Zucker, Hefe, Salz, Säureregulator Natriumacetate, Feldbohnenmehl.
Wheat flour, water, wheat sourdough (wheat flour, water), clarified butter (2.7%), sugar, yeast, salt, acidity regulator sodium acetates, fava bean flour
That's what passes as a highly engineered industrial process bread in Germany. There's actually nothing in there that shouldn't be: Sodium acetate occurs naturally in bread as bacteria form acetic acid and that reacts with salt, fava bean flour is in there to mess around with consistency, crumb texture etc and it's definitely not terribly traditional to control those things with that ingredient but it's a native plant that we've eaten for millennia so its kinda hard to complain about it.
You can bake something very similar at home, the main difficulty won't be the ingredients but replicating the factory's rising and baking process.
man, I used to dislike whole wheat breads with seeds and stuff but... Dave's Killer Bread Good Seed is fuckin' amazing. BLTs, texas toast, quick sandwiches on the run - thin slices so not too bad on the calories, and tons of awesome <i dunno, bird seed?> content.... highly recommend.
but cute comic.
Bread is $10 a loaf. If I were the wife i'd be fucking pissed.
lol where are you shopping?

Now we need the clip of the black comedian who said he took receipts for everything, even a simple cup of coffee, so he always had an alibi in case the cops wrongfully arrested him.
Two very different perspectives on life in America.

For a minute I thought they were saying "tank, yo" and it was some kind of gen alpha slang that was too cool for me
We recently started making our own flaxseed bread at home. Adding almond milk makes it more fragrant, and toasting + butter makes it taste good. Very heavy on the stomach too so it helps with keeping yourself full longer.
Are you implying that it doesn't taste good without butter?
Even ducks can't get free bread nowadays
FLAX IS NOT MEANT TO BE EATEN
IT IS A TEXTILE BYPRODUCT
it's where we get linen for chrissakes
imagine if they tried to make us eat fucking nylon
THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS
I agree with you, but I have non-standard food opinions.
I think it was flax in veg chips that had a bit more cyanide than normal, and a person who ate two bags of them was badly sickened - though it could have been any of the plants that make cyanide.
Some foods should have safe consumption limits accompanying them
That baby's making dough
DO NOT feed ducks bread
From what I've seen, this is mostly because white bread is junk food for them. A more natural bread like this is better.
Also the concern with giving ducks junk food is that they'll fill up and not go for other foods, but I remember reading somewhere that that's not the case. At some point they do lose interest in bread (though the leftover bread in the water brings its own concerns.)
Plus bread in a pond or water system will eventually rot, adding bad bacteria and upsetting the water cycle. Plus it is also bad for the fish:

Boo bread, boo!
No, it is the carbohydrates. "Natural" bread contain as many carbohydrates as industrially produced bread.
I think whole expensive whole grain bread is just fine. White bread is bad because they fill up on it and it has no nutritional value.
