[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asians had bread making way before europe, so they had many centuries to perfect. Stop making flour western. But also there are Asian flavor and texture concepts like really complement pastries like QQ and umami.[/quote] But we aren't just talking about rustic bread making. Europeans clearly introduced the art of making pastries with ton of fat content and invented the methods for layering dough to get products like croissants. Making croissants is entirely a western concept. Yet in Asian now you can find so many places that make far better croissants, scones with clotted cream, tarts, cakes and pastries overall than what you get in Europe. How and why did Asia take it over?[/quote] Again, the Vietnam War. Same reason Algerians also make insanely good pastries. [/quote] Japan is like 2000 miles away from Vietnam.[/quote] Where did they go for R&R? Japan. [/quote]
