The best appetizer. Period. You get a good olive oil in there, and this is better than fried mushrooms, quesadillas, anything.

Most people don't even know what good olive oil tastes like because there isn't any at most grocery stores

>>21428770 (OP)
Good butter > olive oil
But I don't mind a mix of the two
Also, don't fill up on bread before the meal

>>21428780
Most people outside of traditional bread countries like Germany, France, Italy and some of the neighbors don't know what good bread tastes like either so an appetizer like this won't even make sense to them

>>21428778
None of that is a problem

Where are you going that has both a good bread service and cheap bar apps like fried mushrooms and crappy midwestern app quesadillas?

>>21428847
Sure they are. Smaller ones.

>wheat dipped in oil
Indian street food is more appetizing and nutritious.

>>21428825
Just means this restaurant has no idea what they are doing, no biggie. I’m sure they only take substandard approaches to presentation and not other things like, say, sanitation.

every city in the United States has bakeries. whether people choose to patronize them or not is another story.

You seem like the kind of person who Trusts The Plan™ even when no part of the plan is doing what was promised. Or doesn’t evacuate a burning building because you can’t actually see a fire through all the smoke. You should heed the canaries in the coal mine.

99 out of 100 americans don't care about good bread because it's a sandwich dominated country, not a bread and butter country

I grew up on bread and butter but my family is white and rural. Cityfags get the rope as usual.

I've occasionally seen this at bars and it mystifies me. Why would you go get drunk but then also eat healthy food? That's like having a salad with your pizza. Might as well just load up on fried stuff.

too bad restaurant oil is shit quality

Whenever I make bread dip with EVOO, it always has a weird bitter taste. Is that normal, or am I a tastelet?

>>21428770 (OP)
I remember my parents used to serve sliced up baguettes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

>>21429416
Dipping bread in a decent salad dressing is pretty good but a bit decadent

>>21429456
Decadent? Are you shitting me?

>>21429346
Check the expiration date on your oil
If it's still good, yes, you are a tastelet
But add a dash of salt

>>21429077
yes

>>21429474
Shitting you? Now that would be decadent

>>21429493
That's why. Too bad your kind has been replaced by Africans and Mexicans

But salad is the perfect side for a pizza because healthy foods like fresh veggies pair well with fatty things like pizza. Plus when you finish your salad you can dip your pizza crusts in the leftover dressing/vinaigrette.

Are there any countries outside of Spain and Italy that haven't decent olive oil? I keep seeing weird Middle Eastern olive oil at the international market, but I have never bought any. Costco doesn't have of the liters of single source anymore, and California olive oil (the branded version) is fucking expensive. The international blend CO offers isn't very good either.

>>21429793
Have or haven't? Spanish olive oil is mid, Italian olive oil is 99% fake trash because the mafia is dominating that market now, it'sthe most untrustworthy product in the world at this point.
Greek olive oil is usually the best but the good stuff is still 22-26€ per liter for the 3L or 5L cans. 500ml bottles are much more expensive than that as always

>>21428860
theres like 5 snooty faggots who wish they lived in europe per bakery who actually buy that fancy le artisane tres authentique croustillant pain au pede bread, the bakeries stay open because they function as expensive coffee shops and sell sweets/pastries to normal people

>>21429346
Theres many types of olive oil, some have this bitter taste more pronounced. Other can be more floral, peperry or a bit sweet. Really depends on the type of olives its made of.. get other brands and you might find one you like.. most of the brands dont advertise the olives out of which the oil is made of. But you have oil made from specific known sorts, its just that it costs 3 times as much as regular oil. Olive oil from the south of i italy and spains c

Do Americans REALLY eat 1000 calories worth of food before the main course? And they call it an "appetizer"??

>>21430531
It's part of the big scam. You fill up on bread and then you don't finish your meal. And then when they clear the table they reassemble the food in the back and sell it to the next people.

>>21429534
but why dip a carrot when you can dip a wing? wing tastes better.

don't eat fat with bread.

>>21430772
you never have butter or cheese or oil or anything with your bread? do you have bread at all? what do you have with your bread then?

genuinely curious

>>21430772
you might as well say "don't eat kielbasa with mustard". deranged take

>>21428770 (OP)
mmmm a saucer of olive flavored seed oil.

It's a delicious side for enjoying with an appetizer, soup, seasonal salad or your main, silly. It's not a replacement for any of the above. Also, your ideal app might be the apertif. Dream higher, silly!

Carbs bad. Fat bad. Bbc sauce good because it's packed with all natural, high quality, easily digestible protein

I'll just say, when you run across a restaurant that does this well, you never forget it.

>>21429058
Having pickles in between bites of fried food is amazing. But I don't want a raw carrot or steamed broccoli plate, that's for cheaply catered family reunions and holiday in the park functions.

I don't know about that. Olive Garden's sampler platter is pretty fucking good. I'd get it at bars if I could. Frankly they should sell it frozen.

>>21428777
What are you implying, anon? You know our civilization was built on carbs and fats, right?

>>21431079

bro i literally put olive oil on my salad

>>21430537
imagine pouring boiling water on this posters face from a kettle

>>21429058
It's a way of salvaging the situation. And I must be half-goat or something because I fucking love vegetables, so a plate of raw carrots or cabbage could replace fries for me.
