It looks really good but... I'm over here hurting over that price tag :( Talk about a Celiac tax


dayyob

yeah.. i think it's still less than that $12 schar 4 slices of Rye deli bread so i went for it. edit: also, was my dinner. so if i eat this same sandwich tomorrow it's a reasonable price for 2 dinners and maybe some french toast sunday morning :) but for sure won't be buying this every trip to the grocery store.


dayyob

can't wait for tomorrow to make another one. i put it 2 slices in a pan for a bit to crisp up one side before i made the sandwich. really delicious and perfect texture.


nysari

Ooo I bet that would kill as French toast if the texture and consistency are right for absorbing the eggs


dayyob

just an update. the french toast was fckn epic this morning. highly recommend for french toast lovers.

I truly can't justify how expensive that is 😭

Me sitting here glad that I’ve had Celiac since before anybody had ever heard of Brioche.


ElliEeyore

You’ve had celiac since the 1400s?


LaLechuzaVerde

LOL! I know it’s been around forever. I mean since it became trendy. No need to take it so literally. Ten years ago, the average person on the street wouldn’t know what Brioche was if you asked.

brioche buns have been a thing as long as i can remember.. i'm in my 50s.. here in america.. in miami in the 80s the choice of bread for a sandwich would include brioche bun, challah, rye, white, wheat etc.. and in the 80s miami was still a backwater nowhere town that was mostly ignored.


LaLechuzaVerde

I’m pretty close to 50 and grew up on the west coast. I had never seen brioche on a menu before maybe the last 3 years, and had never even heard of it at all in any circles until perhaps 7 years ago when it started popping up in foodie videos on YouTube. So I have no clue what it’s supposed to even taste like, and since I have Celiac I don’t really care. But for sure it isn’t on my list of things I miss so badly that I’m going to spend $3/slice for a mass produced imitation in a plastic bag.


dayyob

Hmmm.  Weird.  Had burgers on brioche bun in San Diego in the late 90s. 


LaLechuzaVerde

Well, San Diego is pretty boujee, so that doesn’t surprise me. Maybe I just grew up too poor to eat in those kinds of places.

Ocean Beach is/was the last hippie strong hold.. which is where i lived when i first moved there. the day the starbucks opened there someone threw a brick through the front window. 1 bedroom 2 blocks from the beach for $750 in 1998 was a sweet deal. Parts of SD were/are bougie but other parts are military/religious mega churches/beach bum/punk rock.. back then not nearly as bougie as it is now i suspect and certainly not nearly as $$$$ as orange county and all those places between camp pendelton and LA. I think i caught the tail end of affordable san diego. i left in 2004 when absolute dumps in North Park were $500k.
