this is an abomination btw

will rescind all criticism if these are being ranked in order of how near to you they were at time of writing, or according to some other measure of worth like how involving the liner notes are

I wouldn't take the time to type out all 19 Bill Callahan releases unless I had an uhh singular opinion on the quality of his music

Worst 10 Breads

1. Injera
2. Bannock
3. Melba Toast
4. Sliced whole wheat
5. Pita
6. Arepa
7. Matzo
8. That pathetic black bread they use for smoked salmon h'ors d'oeuvres
9. Sliced white
10. Pumpernickel

it's like you have perfect recall of every capital city but are somehow repping for like the capital of wales as the world's finest city. so much detail but like ... pumpernickel doesn't deserve just more formal credit than the montreal bagel? I would need just the most emotive backstory to understand it punching above its Actually Just A Small Bagel weight. I feel like I would even use your bold, impulsive ranking system, its broad church, to toast (ha ha) the maligned demotic breads you put in the second ten; like shitty sliced whole wheat is good when you need to be full, or is a canvas for soup; sliced white is good when it gummily forms to the contours of its filling.

enjera probably has to be its own thread

I get insomnia and spend a lot of time looking at the ceiling, ranking breads and eggs.

also: lists

Sliced whole wheat is probably underrated on this list when it comes to "accompanying squash soup" or "as a scoop for pate" but considering its bus-stop ubiquity I ranked it lower than the far less edible (but more easily avoided) itty bitty black bread salmon rounds.

Injera is clammy, sour corpse bread that cools too quickly on the table and absorbs liquid too readily to be used as a vehicle for anything. I would rather eat food off a wet paper towel (usually I just ask for rice instead)

Also New York bagels are just circular bread. Montreal bagels are fleshy, smoky, honey-boiled perfection, responsible for the fullness of Montreal bottoms.

Papadums are not bread.

Also I think you're being unfair to injera. I'm not keen, but an entire cusine is pretty much based around it so I suspect the problem is with me and not the bread itself. And pita is excellent, can't beat a bit of pita and humus.

All your other worst breads I agree are a bit yuck. Fuck pumpernickel, like chewing on a tire or something.

What's the name of that Turkish flatbread with sesame seeds on it? I love that.

fresh french tradition baguettes have become one of all time favourite foods

Yes, has to be super fresh though.

Best bread ballot poll on ILE anyone?

re: sesame + pita, you are perhaps thinking of zatar? sumac plus sesame? delicious. The condemnation of pita was rooted in an [word that means an evaluative process that glorifies one at the expense of the other] of the spreads and "dishes" that flatbread is assorted with, hummus etc., spreads that will always be close to my fridge but accompanied by better breads. Crackers, even. Pizza + zatar is an especially brilliant combination. Breads in this ranking were filtered by "list of breads" according to wikipedia, papadums made the wiki cut, and papadum is great, also wanted to give props to an unleavened bread in the face of my fu to matzo

If naan loses any bread poll I will just

I was thinking of pide actually. Not tried zatar, sounds yum.
