Just had a really great discovery for me.

Gluten Free bread in the past was not really palatable if not heated, making it quite a problem to eat outside my own home.
I decided to try out how it is nowadays, toasting one and letting it deliberately cool off. While not as good as a warm one, it was very much edible, enabling me to now be able to eat a balanced meal a lot more easily now outside my home.

Yeah, they've gotten better with it in the last decade or so. 👍

It's still 3x as much as comparable products (Except in Paris, where everything was 3 times as much as comparable products, except gluten free, who'se price remained the same), but yeah, the quality has increased a lot compared to my childhood.

I worked in a banquet kitchen for pretty much all of the '10's (though part time only after 2013), and that was one product we never did manage to find a good version of from any commercial supplier (and we sure tried). But a buddy of mine had some when I went to eat at his place a couple years back, and if he hadn't said it was GF, I probably would have just thought it was a bit past date - it wouldn't be my first choice, but I could live with it for sandwiches and such if I had to.

Personally, I can't tell the difference, was diagnosed with like 7 or so, so I haven't actually eaten gluten-containing bread since then(Apart from a short while where I retested and got Dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring then, don't really remember the taste difference much though)

I don't think the taste was generally an issue, but the texture (and durability) sure was. One of the regional bakeries we got a lot of our bread from had a GF sandwich bread option we tried, and it was like eating compressed sawdust (and held together roughly that well too). Most of the options were a bit better than that, but there was a tendency to be either really dry or almost rubbery depending on what was being used in the dough. We actually had better luck making up something like falafel and using that in a couple cases.
