I'm a man, I can't slice bread

[PatchO'Black]

That is exactly what he's getting at. Which makes him a misogynistic jerk. And kind of makes one wonder just how the wife's arm got broken in the first place....

You know, while I'm not a big fan of his, I can't help but wonder what would happen if this man said such things in front of Gordon Ramsay...

The Gord of the Kitchen: "Wha'? You say you're a man and you can't f***ing slice a loaf of bread?! Anybody can slice bread! YOU'RE NOT EVEN A F***MAN! You must be a monkey or something!"

What? He can't slice bread because it doesn't bleed? How pathetic.

Every grocery store that has a bakery, most their loaves aren't sliced. He's had to have noticed that.

Not likely if he normally buys only Wonder Bread, Holsum, etc., the prepackaged, presliced breads most grocery stores sell. That's probably what the man was thinking of when he assumed the bread was sliced and freaked out because it wasn't.

Either that or it's only the wife that picks up the bread and makes his sammiches, so he has no clue about the state of bread. If I was the wife I would've beaten him with my cast, though I'd never end up married to a neanderthal like that.

Funny, it was a man who invented the bread slicer because he wanted it done just Wright (sic)

Am I weird to think that home baked, uneven slices > perfect slices (of fresh baked or factory baked) ?

Real bread is crumby!

I will be honest; after I bought my bread machine, I bought one of these as well to ensure even slices. Though I probably could slice it reasonably evenly without one, I prefer to use it, if only to hold the bread so I don't slice off my fingers!

Even without one, slicing bread is not difficult. Get serrated knife, hold bread steady on cutting board, slice slowly and evenly.

I'm pretty sure even a monkey can be trained to slice bread. Especially if you give them banana bread.

or just make rolls or "monkey bread" which involve very little cutting in the first place

I have one of those! plus the bread machine. Plus an electric bread knife It does make slicing so much easier. And more even.

I'll have to quote Bob and Doug MacKenzie from "Great White North" on this topic - "Take off, eh!".

I can get them to be pretty damn even myself, just for some reason I like it when there is a bit of unevenness. Guess I just like the rusticness of a rough cut slice of bread.
