No question that the quality and variety of airport foods has increased tremendously these past 10-15 years. The more choice, the better.

Serious question. Bread.

In the US a "store bought" loaf of bread has no "Sell By" date.

And it never ages like European Bread.

We get 7 days on the date tag before bread starts breeding Penicillin and goes in the trash.

We're not fans of Preservative in food - is that the only difference ?

Just wondering!

GarryRF, if you leave that bread outside of a plastic bag, it will never grow mold. It will be hard as a rock, but you don't need to worry about the penicillin.

I figure consumption of preservatives is good! If it keeps the food lasting longer, it should do the same for those of us who eat it, right? A way to prolong our time on this planet?!

Years ago a friend worked in a Flour Mill.

There was a big advertising campaign on about "Our New White Unbleached Flour" from Millers.

Sounded much nicer !

The new method of whitening flour was spraying during the milling process with a gas.

Not a bleach but it did melt the metal blades!

I don't trust any food now until I've read the contents !
