Except the UK having a pretty crap bakery culture. It might be better in cities, but for most of us I suspect it’s just “Here’s a selection of stodgy pre-packed cakes we defrosted this morning. That will be £5 please. Oh you want to sit down? Then it’s £6.”
That’s sad to hear since there’s so many cool places with bakery culture near you. That’s like when I found out Houston makes New Orleans boiled crayfish wrong even tho they’re only 6 hrs apart 😂
We have a decent culture of baking - but in terms of commercial outlets you generally need to be living somewhere fancier than average to get more than one half decent bakery.
If the new Orleans thing shocked you, Wait until you find out how upset Brits get about whether you apply clotted cream first or jam in a cream tea.
And the counties that get the most het up about it are at immediately next to each other.

They soon forget their differences when I pull out the can of squirty cream.
