Bought my first loaf of cheap white bread in yonks last night....

A lot of people must eat the stuff.  It is revolting.

Some places round here sell the low GI, bread with seeds, grains, spelt etc which tastes fantastic.

I know all bread is meant to be bad, but hey.

It can (with the crusts cut off) be moulded into a perfectly servicable cricket ball for evening matches.

Spelt bread the best

It's cheap for a reason I wouldn't buy it to feed the ducks.

Instore bakeries?...half the time you end up with a half baked ball of dough.

I get a sliced white loaf from Greggs every Monday, the dog loves a slice of toast after his walk. All the 'poncy' bread upsets his stomach.

Not bad toasted plenty of butter on.

I wanted to cut out bread but love marmalade and it's not the same without toast

Cheap white bread is plenty good enough for the plebs to eat.

Sure, cheap white tastes decent enough cooled and covered in proper butter but the fact remains, IT IS PROCESSED POISON!

^ cheap white TOAST

I bought a Warburtons loaf once and the phucker was just flattened dough. I rolled the middle of a piece up and threw it at the shed and it stuck like putty..

It is  '****g revolting'. But saved the remainder in the freezer


                             

Beat me to it, cooperman

I don't throw away food.  Wasn't brought up like that.  I will eat it with scrambled eggs or baked beans or oven chip butties until it's gone.

is that Nimble racket still in play? Where the slice is 25% the size of an average slice and contains a quarter of the calories?

I paid £3.00 for a loaf of bread at a farmers market about 2 years ago

It was fkin delicious

Bought a breadmaker and started making my own - works out at about 50p to make

i don't understand people who buy cheap ,crap ,food .


have their taste buds been surgically removed ?

They're probably skint and can't afford proper food, or drink for that matter.

No need to buy cheap bread.

It is cheap enough anyway.

Crumbs mixed with egg & spices for homemade fish 'n' chips, imo.

crags - everyone can afford decent food

So what about the thousands of people who have to rely on food banks?

Are they all scammers?

scammers ?  what have they do to with food  affordability ?

a lot  of those that use food banks choose that way of life  rather than spend their money on food including a fair few drug addicts,ex offenders fresh out of prison, alcoholics  and sadly folk with mental health difficulties who are unable to function properly

i know a fair few folk who use food banks  -  they don't need to use food banks but that's another story

So your last comment relates to scammers.

Drug addicts can't afford proper food because they are skint, having spent all their money on their habit. So not everyone can afford decent food. Even people without a drug habit on a low wage can't afford decent food after paying for a roof over their heads and all associated bills.

Can't think of anyone else who would say a comment like that, Coachbuster, except maybe David Cameron.

make* a comment.

OK then.. kenny, you are a sad coont.

yeah,cos theyre really going to miss healthy food 

those on a low wage  could afford decent food ,but they  choose to eat poor quality food because that's what they know /have got to like

those on low wages that appreciate decent food CAN afford decent food if they want it . All a question of priorities

go to any run down council estate and see how poor folk spend their money.

and i'm not talking about £90 trainers , 85 inch televisions or  the latest smart phone - i mean food .

It's mainly convinience food , packets of this and that and so on .

No budgeting skills whatsoever.

And you can just call me Dave  ,David is a bit formal   

last time i drove across some rough single parent estate i couldn't get through for all  the Iceland delivery vans blocking the road 

sigh

glad you agree with me 

the problem with folk who can only afford Lemonade is that they want Champagne most of the time .

they won't eat beans on toast -they want prime steaks .

I made myself a beautiful lentil stew tonight  - bags of flavour ,probably cost me less than £2 to make .

Another thing about the slum classes - they don't own cars but  yet wont effin walk anywhere - why ?  i walk places and own a car . Nice to get fresh air .

I'm not surprised that you had to make that stew for yourself.

Anway ,enjoy your  40 Year Old Single Malt  Crags  -  i'm off for some shut eye

crags - i do things that i enjoy - and i enjoyed making the best of what i had in the pantry - no complaints from me

The space comes after the comma, not before it.

Night

Love you

Just look up the Chorleywood Process to see why supermarket bread is so bad. I remember reading years ago that the main requirement for a supermarket wrapped sliced loaf was whether it sprang back when sqeezed by the potential buyer in the shop as this how most people would judge whether or not it was fresh. Nothing to do with taste. In fact the blander the loaf the less taste there is for someone to not like.

you can squeeze the entire loaf down to one slice. it's all air.
