    I feel like I haven’t seen those tack-sticks since the 90s or so.

        As a vehicle for dip delivery they’re alright but otherwise yeah. Too crunch.

        Edit: y’know I retract this statement. The shape and surface area to bland dry dough does not make them “alright” as a dip delivery vehicle.

    In America, bread sticks are sticks of bread. They’re basically pizza crusts cooked independently of the pizza. That is a saltine stick.

    i prefer the ones pictured to the typical american style breadstick, but to be fair the image that comes to mind is a doughy breadstick, something similar to Olive Garden fare, or a neighborhood pizza joint when I think ‘breadstick’

    maybe its my american roots, maybe its me taking the word at literal face value. i dunno.

          These are much thinner than baguettes and have a much softer consistency. We call actual baguettes “baguettes” but typically they’re mass produced, it’s hard to find good baguettes here unless you make them yourself

        You can find these kind of breadsticks all over in the US, but I have lived all over the country and finding a good one is incredibly rare. I don’t even think most US Americans have ever had a truly good soft breadstick.

          I was raised in the US but in a closed religious community and I never had American food until my 20s and when I did I thought all of it was absolutely gross, I lived there for a while after and never came in contact with these thankfully. I thought bread sticks were what OP linked
