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 4 points 20 hours ago

That is a saltine stick.

It's bald pocky.

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 1 day ago

baked crackers

Catching strays.

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

[–] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

I learned that when Americans refer to breadsticks its not these

What in the hell?

[–] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We call those cracker pencils.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

That's what they call my penid

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] largerfather@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

that’s a toast stick

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

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

[–] blame@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

wait till you learn what baguette means

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Hon hon hon bread schlong?

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

How is it different from Ciabatta or a small baguette?

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 2 points 17 hours ago

Don't fill up on bread!sticks

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Repackaged pizza dough

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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 1 day ago (2 children)

Not quite lol it’s usually something like this

[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 15 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What do they call baguettes?

[–] MoonElf@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

breadbat

what do you call them?

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

French walking sticks.

[–] HamManBad@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day 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
