Do you eat bread with your meals in the US or the UK?

Question

I know this is going to sound really cliché but as a French person I eat bread at every meal, and it's the same for everyone I know in France.

I was wondering if Americans or other nationalities do the same...

Not necessarily in Australia. Pasta is a common meal for me so bread is a bit of an overload. In the home it is more of a grace note to a special meal like at Christmas. I doubt anyone slaps down a slice of manufactured bread anymore but my parents did.

At restaurants bread rolls are commonly served early before the main - probably because they are conscious of people like me who will be snarling "I ordered 30 minutes ago and I'm HUNGRY. Where is it?". A warm bread roll will give me patience.

US - Bread is not part of every meal here, but is common enough to see. It is not the same as I'm assuming you are talking about, a baguette. Here it is more commonly seen as the commercially made pre-sliced white bread, or dinner rolls. My wife is Italian and occasionally makes a loaf of bread to tear pieces off of to dip in olive oil with parmesan cheese and herbs.

Sometimes, but it depends on what the meal is. Not for every meal of course. Sometimes it can be a simple eggs & toast breakfast, sandwich for lunch, or chicken dinner with hawaiian rolls.

No not in the uk. I'll have it with soup but mostly we'll have a loaf in the kitchen to tear bits off in between meals as a snack with cheese or butter

I eat bread with meals usually, but I'm a diabetic, so I need the fiber. I buy the French bread every once in a while, and toast it in the oven with butter.

US, here. Not every meal. Sometimes I will have bread, sometimes I will have rice, and sometimes I will have potatoes. I like to mix it up.

I like bread but it's mostly garbage food. So I try and eat minimal gluten products. I couldn't conceive eating it every meal.

Christsdisciple15 · Answer

No not every meal just meals where it seems suited like soup or lasagna or spaghetti etc. I don’t eat bread with a rice dish or a potato dish or anything like that. but it’s all up to one’s discretion

AviatorTom · Answer

Sometimes we have bread with our meal, sometimes we don't. It really depends on what we're eating. If the meal is already high in carbs, adding bread is typically not done.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Not all the time. It depends on what's for dinner.
