I feel like I haven't seen those tack-sticks since the 90s or so.

[-] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

I could immediately taste them again after seeing this image and my verdict is the same: icky

As a vehicle for dip delivery they're alright but otherwise yeah. Too crunch.

Edit: y'know I retract this statement. The shape and surface area to bland dry dough does not make them "alright" as a dip delivery vehicle.

These always bring back extremely specific memories of office parties and New Years Eve celebrations in the 00s

you're telling me bri*ish people can't even bake crackers for themselves? they're farming it out to italy?

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

baked crackers

Catching strays.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago

In America, bread sticks are sticks of bread. They're basically pizza crusts cooked independently of the pizza. That is a saltine stick.

[-] Murple_27@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

That is a saltine stick.

It's bald pocky.

[-] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

i prefer the ones pictured to the typical american style breadstick, but to be fair the image that comes to mind is a doughy breadstick, something similar to Olive Garden fare, or a neighborhood pizza joint when I think ‘breadstick’

maybe its my american roots, maybe its me taking the word at literal face value. i dunno.

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

Olive Garden ain’t a real Italian joint, whoever makes their gravy has no idea what they’re doin paulie-point

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

We have grissini here, but, yeah, you're more likely to get the ones made from pizza dough

[-] largerfather@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

that’s a toast stick

[-] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

We call those cracker pencils.

[-] Gorb@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's what they call my penid

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

I learned that when Americans refer to breadsticks its not these

What in the hell?

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

really? wtf is a yank breadstick then, solidified HFCS?

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

Bread but in stick form. Kinda like those but thick and fluffier

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

How is it different from Ciabatta or a small baguette?

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

You eat them at Olive Garden until you can't eat your food you ordered anymore.

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Don't fill up on bread!sticks

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Repackaged pizza dough

[-] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

What is an American bread stick then? I'm imagining something horrible, probably with wrapped in processed meat and cheese or something

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

Not quite lol it’s usually something like this

[-] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I see, wonder bread dough covered in oil and burned dry herbs.

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago
[-] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

I showed the "bread sticks" to my partner who is from Calabria and she was offended.

[-] Vampire@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

What do they call baguettes?

[-] MoonElf@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

breadbat

what do you call them?

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

French walking sticks.

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

These are much thinner than baguettes and have a much softer consistency. We call actual baguettes "baguettes" but typically they're mass produced, it's hard to find good baguettes here unless you make them yourself

In true American fashion, it is quite a bit wider

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

Aren't those the things that they give teething babies? A teething rusk?

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago
[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

ikr! It's like a polygonal sunflower lion children's toy

[-] blame@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

[-] Gorb@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago
