As a Brit living in the US, I have a real problem with the sugar in bread. As a bread lover I detest it. Everything I eat DOESN'T have to be sweet. I can't stand it and I avoid it as much as possible.

In the last few years, I've started making my own sourdough bread (salt, water, flour, homegrown sourdough yeast) with no chemicals and I'm loving it. I can't remember the last time I've bought bread. (Dutch-oven method)

>most cheese was of the horrible processed variety

I had this experience as well, but in the last few years, things have massively improved IMHO. Don't go the deli section (where they cut cheese), go to the area where there's brie/english-chedder etc. However Wisconsin has really stepped up to the plate and now creates very reasonable European styles cheeses (of course, more expensive). It's worth trying it again if you've not done recently.

Reading this brought back another memory - cinnamon! Now, I like cinnamon as much as anyone, but why the hell is it added to everything in the US!

Oh my.. don't get me talking about cinnamon! It's now at a point I refuse to anything with it in.

The only exception is hot-cross-buns during Easter. :)
