Got some cheap the other day to try it. Not impressed.
It ... crumbles. I'm guessing Gluten, literally named for it's "Glue" esque properties, is the thing that makes normal bread "not sh1t"?

Gluten is a name for the proteins found in the wheatgerm of cereals. It's what makes dough stretchy. The more of it in the flour, the better the texture of the bread.

One of my grandchildren has no choice to eat Gluten Free as she gets really poorly if she doesn't. Only 6 bless her. And trust me the bread is awful.

Agree Bigmo. Most adults can get on with it a bit more than a small child who misses out on all the stuff their friends can have

My mum has to have GF because of celiac. She doesn't like any of the bread that is pre-made so she uses GF flour to make her own rolls etc. Not cheap though

I'm gluten intolerant and can confirm gluten free bread is generally rank (and expensive). I don't eat it. Gluten free biscuits are ok as are gluten free sausage rolls and gluten free crumble. Gluten free pasta is passable although don't eat that either. I'm only mildly intolerant so just cut down. If I'm making the effort to avoid gluten (it's in most processed foods) I generally eat healthier, (you end up eating more fruit and veg, fish/chicken without batter etc and baked/new potatoes rather than chips, but it is prolly 50% more expensive.

TBH I actually prefer the gluten free sausage rolls but that's prolly to do with the sausage meat being that much nicer rather than the pastry.

My son was in a rush one morning and mixed the girls lunch boxes up. Poor think had to be picked up from school and was vomiting for around 8 hours until it was out of her system. He still hasn't forgiven himself.
