anecdotally, Ive gotten this with store bought basic sliced bread. I used to love it and snack on just bread as a kid, but Ive been making my bread with a bread machine for a few years, and now the store bread just tastes and feels like weak, dry, slightly sweetened insulation foam.

Sliced bread is like a store bought tomato, once you’ve had the homegrown/baked version, you are fucked.

No this is exactly what I mean! Ignorance sometimes is bliss.

Another example: I cannot watch mediocre television anymore

I really wanna know if our biochemical response is different to the same stimuli if we have experienced “better” before or not.

Similarly, I enjoyed cheap sake until I had expensive sake. I was better off before!

Tell me more about this bread maker you speak of 🤔

I mean, it's a kitchen appliance that makes bread? Throw the ingredients in and turn it on, and you have bread, in like, 4 hours. I have a slightly nice one, because I found someone selling it used for 20 bucks when that model new is like 200, but I think the more basic ones can get a bit less than $100, so while I wouldn't call them cheap, they're not exactly unaffordable luxury for most people lucky enough to live in a developed country. They're just not really worth it unless you plan on using it regularly (and eating a lot of bread, because homemade bread lacks the preservatives of store bought food I've found I get maybe 5 days with a loaf from it before there's a risk of the bread going moldy)

Artisan Bread in 5 minutes recipe. No machine no kneading. Best bread I have ever eaten. This one they updated to 1 tablespoon bread yeast, but old recipe was 1.5. i think 1.5 Tbsp of yeast tastes better. And use bread flour, rather than allpupose. https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013/10/22/the-new-artisan-bread-in-five-minutes-a-day-is-launched-back-to-basics-updated/
