Just moved back to the UK from Germany… and I miss the bread

For the international people who live in Germany, what is something you miss?

I recently returned to the UK from Germany due to not being able to find a job, etc... Bread, being a staple of life, is now just a disappointing staple of life here. The bread here is dire in comparison to what is available in Germany, and I’ve been practically ranting about it so much that I think I’ve tired my family and friends out. It’s just doughy, very pale, and lacking in personality.

I know you can get nice bread here, probably from an artisan bakery, but I’m talking about what is easily accessible and the variety of it, and not something that is rare. In Germany, good bread is pretty much everywhere, from what I experienced. I have dreams about it and miss it.
