The Audacity of Crumb Criticism: Because Apparently, Bread is a Global Competition Now
Right, let’s talk about this utter nonsense thats been swirling around the internet. A British baker – bless his heart, probably still using lard in everything – felt entitled to publicly dissect and dismiss Mexican bread. Seriously? Like, because it doesn’t conform to some rigid, colonial definition of what good baking looks like, its somehow…inferior?
The sheer ignorance radiating from this man is astounding. Does he think culinary traditions are a bloody competition? Did someone hand him a trophy for best sourdough and now he feels qualified to judge centuries-old Mexican baking techniques? I bet he thinks Yorkshire pudding is the pinnacle of baked goods, too.
And the internet’s reaction! Wonderful. The righteous fury, the perfectly articulated explanations of cultural significance… it was glorious. It absolutely should have happened. He’s now offered a groveling apology, naturally, and Im sure he’s locked himself away to contemplate the vastness of his own arrogance.
Honestly, this whole debacle is a perfect snapshot of modern life: people feeling emboldened to offer uninformed opinions on everything, and thankfully, others being ready to call them out with spectacular precision. Let’s hope this serves as a gentle reminder that cultural appreciation isnt about judging; it’s about understanding and respecting the incredible diversity our world offers… including its bread.
