Bread and Butter!

[sparky]

Last time we visited Orlando (Nov 2002), we found the bread and butter/spread sold in the supermarkets so sweet that even the kids refused to eat it!

Does anyone know of any brands which are more like those sold in the UK?

The main supermarkets are slowly coming around to providing a little more choice with their breads, and a few now stock organic varieties, and I find Miltorn's Multi-grain bread one of the better choices at Goodings and co. Other options include the many outlets of Panera Bread and First Watch for better varieties, while the healthfood/deli style of Chamberlin's (in the Dr Phillips plaza at the junction with Sand Lake Road) has some different choices too.

Publix sells Lurpak and the in-store bakeries tend to have some bread which tastes more like bread!

Bread from the in-store bakeries tends to have a better taste than the prepackaged stuff. Fewer preservatives, and usually just enough sugar or honey to activate the yeast.

French, Italian and sourdough French seem to be less sweet than standard American white bread.

Read the ingredients and nutrition labels on the packages. The ingredients listed first have the highest volume, with the last ones having the lowest volume. The nutrition label also will tell you how a serving is defined (one slice or two) and the grams of sodium, fat, sugar, etc., per serving.

Not sure what kind of butter you purchased. I usually buy unsalted sweet cream butter, which most people use for baking. There is far too much sodium in the salted butter for my taste buds and body!
