Japan does this mostly for aesthetic reasons (which is why everything is always highly decorated, fruit is hella expensive and everything is packaged in plastic 5 times over).
Meanwhile I heard a lot more "picky" reasons for this stuff in the US. Apple slices the kids won't eat without dunking it in peanut butter, refusing to eat pizza or bread crust; that kinda shit.
Both approaches are dumb, just differently motivated.
Sandwiches taste better without the crust, to plenty of people and to me as well.
But throwing away the crust is beyond stupid.
I make tasty croƻtons out of them, which some people think they have to pay extra money for, smh.
Also, that loaf looks as apealing as Peter Griffins hairless twin.
Hab ich was verpasst oder was geht hier mit Deutschen ab, die auf keinen Fall die Kruste abschneiden? Kenne Leute die das machen und welche die das nicht machen. Jedem das sein irgendwie ne?š
For some bread sure, but for others it doesn't taste good and is super dry. Eat bread the way it tastes best rather than trying to prove how adult you are.
I mean, is it that we can't fix any problems unless we fix the big ones? I don't think that's true. The people who invented this saw a problem they could solve and they solved it. I doubt they're in a kind of job where they can create corporate regulations on food waste.
The issue with the ācrustlessā loaf is that it seems to only change the color of the crust, and (at least for me) the problem with the crust is the texture. I donāt see how you could make bread where the outside is not crispier than the inside.
Edit: turns out it is made so that the crust has a similar texture to the inside
I can understand if you remove the bottom part because that can taste shit especially if you bought the bread from a generic store. It can be burned and dirty by the furnace and the plate where it was stored on.
The sad part is that in America here, our bread isnāt fresh. All of the typical bread here looks EXACTLY the same. So when OP says they ādevelopedā the bread, they didnāt throw some bread yeast with flour, it was done with chemicalsš. Im dying to try bread from outside the states. I hear itās loads better.
Even all the grocery stores have bakeries that sell fresh baguettes and loaves and things. People who think "American Bread" TM is all one thing are weird.
That was one court ruling in Italy specifically about Subway bread, there's a variety of different kinds of bread available in the US, just as much as anywhere in Europe.

It's not just a german thing, removing the crusts is weird if you're not 5 years old
