Bread…one of the most important things for a German. Germans
start their day with bread, and they end their day with bread. ‘Dinner’ would
be ‘Evening Bread’ if you translated it literally. The Germans are known for
their huge variety of bread; according to Wikipedia, Germany has about 600 main
types of breads and 1,200 different types of pastries and rolls. On the boat, I
would usually bake our own bread, it turns out really well in the gas oven, but
the motorhome’s oven is way to small. And anyway, it’s way to hot to bake bread
myself…
Now, where does one find good bread in Florida? Certainly
not in the usual places like Walmart or Publix, so we went looking: We tried a
French Bakery first, but only got croissants for $3.50/piece. Yeah, great
price, eh?! Next, we tried The Bread Shop, but only got some Cuban Baguette
called ‘French Baguette’. We were still not happy, so we tried the chain 'Panera
Bread' next, which kinda made us happy, but not really. Lo and behold, in the
end, we found the German Bread House, where they offer a good variety of
organic bread. We were so desperate, we paid $9 for one loaf… Ah, the Germans
are crazy, right?! (That’s why we applied for Canadian citizenship ;-)…) At the
same time, I found out that the German Bread House also delivers to my favorite
supermarket here in South-East US: The Fresh Market. I love that place, it’s
very special. Not for everyday shopping, but if you want something more out of
the ordinary, it’s great. Now we know where we can get good bread down here,
and our freezer is well stocked.
