An overcooked bread isn't well cooked. So a well cooked bread is necessarily not too cooked. And yet, asking for "well cooked" or "not too cooked" bread in a bakery have well distinct meanings...

    This must be a non-American thing because outside of being raw dough or burnt, I’ve never once had to clarify how cooked I’d like my bread.

      As a non-American I have no idea what OP is talking about.

          As a bread enjoyer, I’m intrigued. Would you like to elaborate a bit? All I can find is different types of bread (like different flour, shape etc.).

          North America doesn’t have a bread culture like much of Europe does, and it’s sad.

            Just what I was thinking. I don’t think I even have a proper bread making bakery in my town. I wish I could be in the culture that this comment is from.

      Where I am you can buy part-baked bread and “well fired” rolls. https://aldprdproductimages.azureedge.net/media/resized/$Aldi_GB/05.04.22/4088600273976_0_L.jpg

    I’ve never heard bread referred to as “cooked” in my entire life. Baked, yes.

          Most bakery bread doesn’t even include eggs milk and salt

          Bread is just flour, water, yeast and salt (you really need the salt). If it has anything else, you’re either being sold something fancy or some industrial crap.

      Baking is just one type of cooking.

    Op being French is the only kind of context that could make this post make sense.

    I’m super confused.

    Is there a reason you’re saying cooked rather than baked?

    Even swapping cooked for baked I’m still confused.

    I heard somewhere that one time there was an Asian lady that didn’t know the word ‘toast’, so while at a restaurant part of her order was ‘bread, medium rare’ LOL!

    Hey, lacking the right word, it does at least make sense when you think about it for a moment.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
