In my short time living in the UK, I have discovered (for the most part) I am not a huge fan of British food. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. I appreciate most food here is fresh and lacks all the chemicals in American food but having fried eggs, blood sausage, baked beans and a grilled tomato for breakfast is just plain gross.

With that being said, I have discovered the joys of European bread. Now, it doesn't take much arm twisting for me to eat bread. Hand me a piece of chocolate or a roll, the roll wins every time, but the different types of bread I have discovered here have been wonderful! At our local farmer's market I love to buy French Pave, Tiger's Bread and Italian Sourdough. All are crusty white breads, soft in the middle and just about the most delicious thing ever. Back in the US, I would have always gone with wheat, but wheat is dead to me now. Yes, I will have to exercise more (another day about the confidence blow realizing your two sizes larger in the UK) but these breads and others are too good to pass up. Below are some photos. I am sure some bread shops sell these in the US, highly recommended if you can find them.
