The Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment about whether if it is an object, after having had all its original components replaced, remains the same thing.
I’m currently reading a book called The Wager and I’m learning a lot about ships. Apparently like even your average ship was basically rebuilt each year because they just fell apart constantly. So I guess like all ships are Ships of Theseus.
100 years after sliced bread was invented; bread that doesn’t stale and doesn’t mold for 2 weeks on a counter-top, and still Europe is baffled.
There are reasons to add sugar to bread, quite a lot actually. It causes faster fermentation, increases the Maillard reaction, can make the bread softer, prevents going stale, etc.
I’m not defending subway in particular: they are terrible. But it’s not because they add sugar to their bread dough. And Europe pretending this isn’t bread is food elitism that ignores that massive differences in production and culture.
that is more sugar than bread
Also very hyperbolic. Subway has 4% sugar, which is high but not cake. Cake recipes are often 25-50% sugar.
To be fair, that 4% is double the max limit to be called bread in Ireland, potentially more if it’s 4% of the whole recipe as opposed to 4% of the flour weight.
According to the full documentation, soup is a salad, salad is either quiche or nachos depending on prep style, and nigiri is toast. Notably, salad itself does not fall under the “salad” cube rule.
