From a Dutch perspective :) You should see what foam they consider bread. One of the things I miss from France :) Lidl has a batard that is really quite good, unsurpassed by any Dutch bread.

Can't have anything from them which is (re)baked in store. Makes my nose run, and throat slimy, sometimes even constricting.

I've given up on them. And almost anything else too. Because that is a function of modern bakery supply chains in general, not one specific 'outlet'.

You haven't had bad bread if you've never had Dutch bread. That includes virtually any 'bakery' (those are mostly chains who also rebake). Dutch bread is barely baked, and barely bread. Really, moulding shite and baking it is superior.

Do not get in a bad-bread-pissing contest: Dutch will win it every time.

Try having some stuff in the US that passes for bread. You'd long for the Aldi back home!
