When you buy bread, how many slices of bread do you usually buy? Thick slice moms prefer 4 slices. Or do thin slice moms go for 8 slices? Since the texture of bread also changes depending on the thickness, preferences may vary among people. A question about bread has been asked by a mom in the Mama Star community.
“How many slices of bread do you buy? I live in Kanagawa and prefer 6 slices.”
The poster seems to like 6 slices of bread. They mentioned their place of residence, perhaps wanting to know if there are regional differences in preferences. So, what is your preferred number of slices of bread? Let’s hear from the moms.
Moms who prefer 5-6 slices. Many children prefer 5 slices, right?
“I live in Saitama and only buy 6 slices.”
“In Kansai, it’s either 5 or 6 slices.”
“I’m from Mie and prefer 6 slices.”
“I live in Saitama. I buy 5 slices because my daughter likes them.”
“Tokyo. For toast, I like the 5-slice mountain-shaped ones.”
“I don’t eat it myself, but I think my child prefers 5 slices.”
Most voices were in favor of 5 slices. Following that, 6 slices were also popular. Especially, multiple voices suggested that children prefer 5 slices over 6, so moms in the Mama Star community with growing kids might prefer the slightly thicker 5 slices. It seems that some people prioritize their children’s preferences over their own.
Moms who prefer thick slices enjoy a crispy outside and a soft inside
“Shizuoka. I really love thick slices.”
“Is it common to prefer 4 slices in Kansai and 6 slices in Kanto?”
“4 slices. I live in Kyoto. I like dipping it in half butter and half honey.”
Although a minority, there were voices from moms who prefer the thick 4 slices. According to the voices in the Mama Star community, there might be a trend of people in Kansai preferring thick slices…? Some voices mentioned enjoying the crispy outside and soft inside of 4 slices. Indeed, with thin slices, you may not be able to enjoy the soft texture because it gets too crispy when toasted. Some people may prefer generously buttered thick slices of bread. Additionally, regions where cafes often serve thick slices of bread might have a higher number of thick slice enthusiasts.
By the way, the calorie content of one slice of bread is 300 for 4 slices and 220 for 6 slices. It’s obvious, but the calorie content varies depending on the thickness, so it’s good to keep it in mind for those who regularly count their calories.
Voice of moms who decide how many slices to buy based on their intended use
“If it’s for toast, I buy 6 slices, but if I’m making a hot sandwich, I buy 8 slices. It varies depending on the occasion.”
“I buy 5 slices. When making a sandwich, I slice it for that purpose.”
“We don’t eat that much bread at home, so we change it depending on what we’re making. For French toast, thick slices; for pizza toast, 6 slices, etc.”
“When making hot sandwiches or sandwiches, I buy 10 slices.”
“I like to layer 8 slices together with cheese in between and bake it, then sandwich ham, egg, and vegetables in it to make a hot sandwich. If there are no 8 slices, then it depends on the mood at that time.”
Voices saying they decide how many slices based on their intended use were also shared. Thin 8 slices seem to be popular for hot sandwiches, while preferences for sandwiches vary. Some prefer thick slices for French toast. Additionally, some people adjust the thickness based on how well the ingredients penetrate the bread, while others buy a whole loaf and cut it to their preferred thickness on the spot. Since people’s preferred bread thickness varies depending on how they eat it, it might be fun to occasionally try a different thickness than usual and enjoy the change in taste.
