    Fuel going up like crazy un Argentina

    NOT!!!!

    Again, to debunk this whole inflation circus......2010 petrol was same price.....2000 it was around 50% more expensive!!!!!

    In Germany fuel is around 70% more expensive than here btw!

    I drive a lot, and want it to be as cheap as possible, still, I like to be reasonable and look at facts!!!!!

    And since this is a thread about bread: I fully support Splinter opinion on the sliced "bread" 8o

    We call that sliced bread, pan industrial and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I dread to think what they put in it and much prefer proper bread.

    I was brought up on sliced bread. Apart from ending up living here it hasn't done me any harm. :asswave:

    To be honest I never liked plain bread....too much burnt crust. Wonder of you can you still get it in the waxproof wrapping? When I left it was a rarity.

    My mother told us that too, GlasgowJohn !


    The problem was, we wanted straight locks, not curls. So we left the crusts.

    At boarding school, the cook would give us each a fistful of toasted crusts for helping her shovel coal into the boiler in the mornings. (the teachers had their crusts cut orf)

    You've no idea how tasty they were.

    No, but we were able to ask for lumpy porridge, which has to be tasted to be believed. Porridge that you can chew really is the best.

    I prefer my square sausage in a roll...I still make them here using a figaza roll and much better than that pan rubbish.

    As for the curls I hated mine although the girls liked them. ;)

    One door closes and two more open in Argentina. In La Lucila a ladies' underwear shop that had been trading for decades closed last year, then it became a cafeteria which failed, but is now becoming a pizzeria.

    Across the road from that, a health food shop closed and in record time, a new bakery called Fandepan has just opened, which is a bakery franchise where everything is baked on site (as you would expect) and you serve yourself. It's literally opposite a traditional bakery which has been there for over fifty years which I prefer because it's so old fashioned and the staff are so friendly!

    Pan Danés has started a foreclosure procedure. They are a chain of bakeries around the city. I have never shopped there, so I think their selling point was wide variety of breads that aren't found in regular bakeries.

    Traditional bakeries here are very limited in terms of bread - they seem to focus on selling sweet stuff (cakes, biscuits, slices of cakes, chocolates) etc.

    In Italy, a bakery sells 80% bread 10% savory bakery 10% sweet bakery.

Thank you for the support!
