    Bread sold in plastic bags is so strange for me 😆 we have them in paper bags, so that the crust stays crusty 😇

      Here in the good ol’ US of A most of the bread found in supermarkets is packed with a bunch of conditioners/preservatives such that it was never crusty to begin with, prioritizing shelf stability over quality.

      Actual dedicated bakeries will typically put their bread in a better storage medium, but most people are getting cheap mass produced bread for lunches and the like from their regular grocery store I imagine.

      When I was a kid, we used to keep the plastic bags from bread once we ate the loaf and in winter we’d line our boots with them. To keep our socks dry.

      Here, pre-sliced bread (sold on store shelves) comes in plastic bags, normal bread (sold in bakeries and in-store bakeries) comes in paper bags
