frankxxxxxxxxxx Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Why Scandinavian bakery? A good bakery can be only French right? Hi, I saw many Scandinavian bakeries in Thailand, but I wonder since when they are famous ? As i was thinking that only French bakeries were good and famous? Cheers.

Ulysses G. Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 There are good bakeries all over the world. I like French bread, but am not that crazy about many of their baked desserts. They often look good, but do not taste that great. I am generalizing of course, because some are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Why not ? Would think there are far more Scandinavian that come to Thailand then French. Anyway what is so good about French bakery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Danish bakeries sometimes have special cookies. If you like that sort of thing. http://www.annascookies.com/Annas-Cookies_ep_39-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahi Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 To OP, so your judging whats "good" based on origin country instead of people's different tastes around world? Talk about stereotypical. Like comparing Chinese food to Thai food in Europe or US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1fanatic Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 We all have our own 'taste' in bread. I enjoy a baguette every now and again as I enjoy some German bread every now and again, but would dearly love to be able to find a good, old-fashioned, whole-meal loaf (English style) for normal everyday use! Yes, I know Tesco do a whole-meal loaf, but it is too sweet for my taste - God knows what else is in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Some of the best bakery items I have ever eaten came from a bakery in Bergen Norway. They made an eclair and cinnamon rolls the size of a salad plate. Various breads were also very good. A lady told me one time that the secret to making good bread was when it was needed to fill the stomach due to basic food struffs being in short supply. She was raised in Europe during the war years.

Jingthing Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah, the French aren't the be all and end all of all thing bread. A French bagel? You can keep it. French nan? Sacre bleu! Also to avoid, Swedish paella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 you oughta go to Vancouver, BC sometime where there is a fresh bakery on every corner...not too much in the way of boulangerie but them square heads make a mighty good rye bread... (tutsiwarrior, on the tramp in Vancouver with a loaf of fresh bread and a boddle of canadian rye whiskey underneath a tree in a vacant lot and minding his own business...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeter Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Bread is different in most countries and if you afind a good bakery enjoy it. French is good if its done right, a lot here are not like the French I know, similarly there excellent British breads which I have not found here, different to the French but good in their own too. I suspect every country has their own idea what is good in the bread division so why not any Scandanavian Bakery too I would give it go. Thailand is not know for bread and their attempts ahve not been that successful, they could start with less sugar but then Thais would probably not buy them.

billybobthedog Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's like saying only France makes wine. You have much to learn, and it's all delicious. I beg to differ - have you ever eaten American bread- it is more like a sweet cake- how revolting for a sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nonsense. There is plenty of bread in America that is very tasty. Rye bread is great and so is soughdough bread and so are American biscuits and Parkerhouse rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Depends; in France you can go to the tiniest village and there will be a bakery shop baking excellent breads. In America you can find excellent bakeries, if you live in a large city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're talking about Thai bread or the popular American bread of the 1950s and 1960s which was never as bad as Thai bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) The best bakery I have been to in many years was in Taupo in the North Island of New Zealand. The bread and rolls were superb plus meat pies and cakes to die for. Oddly enough it was run by a Chinese family and most days the queue was out of the door.

ARISTIDE Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 May I ask what are the places you refer as Scandinavian Bakery? If you mean Rimping or Tops they only make regular commercial Artisan bread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forethat Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I dont like French bread,much prefere Italian or British . I'm with you here! The Italians have the best bread (recipes).Bread is, IMHO, one of the best produce GB has to offer (only superseeded by sausages and apples).

Beetlejuice Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 English bread is the best in the world. Oh boy, how I really miss that. Never had a liking for the French poofy pastries and they’re puff croissants. French bread is like a load of soft doe filled with air. How could anyone enjoy that? Give me a good old solid English loaf any day of the week. The same goes for the beer, a good English pint, no beating it. And hot crumpets, not the kind that we pay for short time in Thailand, but the types we eat with lashings of butter, although some Thai crumpets perform well with butter on top. Good old English grub compared with French food, no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
