Bread

Even the peasants would have thrown it back to Marie Antoinette

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: It is dreadful

TESCO VALUE BREAD "Without bread all is misery." The author of this quote (William Cobbitt) had obviously not sampled Tesco's Value bread!!! The Oldchem household is like the Bermuda Triangle when it comes to bread. Any bread coming close to us seems to disappear unexplainably within seconds. We can be running along quite nicely, and there be plenty of bread in the breadbin, then my son will come in from school, drop his school bag in the ...
...the word very loosely) of Tesco Value Medium Bread. Now what I can't understand is that when, on the few occasions I dare to, send Mr Oldchem shopping, he NEVER looks at prices and usually ends up buying the most expensive of everything, but he was very proud of himself for purchasing a loaf for 47p!! So what did I think of his purchase? As there may be children reading this review, I will choose my words carefully!! THE PACKAGE A plastic ...

Review of Tesco Value White bread

Tesco Tiger Bread: Delicious rice paste & sesame oil bread.

Advantages: Delicious taste, lovely medium crunchy crust, soft white centre.
Disadvantages: None.

...baked and I think that Tesco is one of the best stores for this bread. It seems to have become more and more popular recently as Tesco regularly advertise it as a 'weekend loaf' for £1.00 but the standard price is £1.10. The bread is baked fresh in the Tesco in store bakery and if you visit at the right time (lunchtime or first thing) you can frequently find bread that is still warm. The bread is delicious and has quite a unique smell and taste to ...
...these are fairly regular in Tesco stores or at tesco.co.uk. If you haven't tried this bread before then what are you waiting for? It's delicious as a sandwich or toast and it's delicious when toasted and spread with butter & Marmite. It really is the ultimate lunchtime bread and I thoroughly enjoy it. I have tried loaves from other stores such as Asda & Greggs and while these are very nice too I do actually prefer the Tesco one as it's just that ...

Notta Lotta Dough for Warburton's Farmhouse Loaf

Advantages: Lovely bread that keeps fresh for a good lengrth of time
Disadvantages: None that I could find

*WARBURTON'S FARMHOUSE SOFT WHITE LOAF* I'm in danger of sounding like my poor old mum now, but hasn't bread gone flippin' dear !!!! I've tried so called 'value' bread but it always ends up getting given to the ducks, it feels stale when I first buy it, so that is false economy. As we get through more than one loaf a day ( more if the hungry ducks have their way!!) I do try to find as reasonable priced bread as I can. While shopping in my local ...
...White thick sliced loaves for £1 a loaf. Which with today's prices is pretty good!! I bought two loaves, The loaves have just been kept in my bread bin and were bought on Saturday. I have just used the last two slices and they were still very fresh ( it is now Tuesday morning and my kitchen has been mighty hot over the last three days!!) The loaf was bought on 30th May, had a sell by date of 2nd June and a use by date of 4th June. The loaf is a 800g ...

Review of Warburtons White Loaf

Asda Tiger bread yummmmm

Advantages: Freshly cooked in store
Disadvantages: Goes stale quite quickly

Asda's Tiger Bread is absolutly delicious. It's freshly made in store and at 67p for a 400g loaf and £1 for an 800g loaf the price is perfect. You can also get these loaves sliced in store free and they do the medium and thick slices. I would definatly recommend you get it sliced in store because this bread is so fresh it just squashes when you try cutting it yourself at home. It's got a lovley taste to it, im not sure whatt it is but it tastes totally ...
...quite crusty and looks a bit like tiger print hence the name then I suppose..... Then inside the crust you have the most delicious soft white bread. It's great for sandwiches and holds together pretty well. It's also nice as a side to soups and it makes lovely toast, the butter just melts in making it utterly divine. I have noticed that the smaller loaf of the Tiger bread has been on offer recently down to just 50p a loaf, well worth it. You can ...

Review of Asda Tiger Bread

Advantages: Delicious, naughty but VERY nice.
Disadvantages: Not so good for the waistline

SOREEN FRUITY MALT LOAF Many, many years ago in the dim and distant past that was known as the 1950's, my mum thought that I needed building up (oh I wish!!!!). Well at least I think that was the reason, unfortunately she's not around to ask now, but for whatever reason, she would purchase a large brown jar from the chemist, in this jar was a delicious, sweet sticky substance called malt - and everyday I had to have a spoonful of the stuff ...
...myself a slice of delicious Soreen Malt Loaf. Again Soreen is a name from my childhood, we always had it as a treat on a Sunday spread with a rather naughty amount of 'best' butter ( why was it best butter - was there any other sort!!) It is actually just fifty years since that soft, gooey delicacy was first introduced to this lucky nation, and the product is still going strong. So what exactly is a Soreen Malt Loaf? Soreen is a fruity malt loaf, ...
