Let them eat cake... or cakey bread
The Sara Lee cake has more than 10% sugar! I guess they thought they were making a cheesecake. I went for a bread with "only" 3% sugar - that would already be on the sweet side in Australia. This bread has it in the form of corn syrup (Americans really are the corn people) but I'm more concerned with the total sugar.
This no longer shocks me, but I was stunned when I first found in a Boston supermarket that I couldn't find a wholewheat bread without corn syrup.
But one thing I like - it's much easier to find peanut butter without crap here. Just roasted peanuts and salt. And that (unlike the versions with extra crap) goes well in savory form as well - bread, peanut butter and freshly ground black pepper or chilli flakes. Optional dried oregano or mixed herbs. Mmmm.
*Yep, confirmed in this nutritional info on Australian supermarket breads - are several below 2% sugar, including some of my favorite breads. I'm pretty sure it would be similar in pretty much any Western country outside of North America.
