[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus lady, you should have been here before the 80s. It was white bread or nothing. You can't even imagine.[/quote] This is an exaggeration. Born in mid 70s, lived in suburbs in five states (including Midwest and south), never had white bread in the house. You definitely had to look for wheat bread or know how to bake it. Very few people knew how to handle sourdough or make their own cakes or pastry. There was definitely a loss of baking skills in homes after WWII through the 80s though. Much of the baking skills of immigrant families was lost as people tried to claim only an American identity. [/quote]
