There is,

Half a Tiger loaf in my kitchen.

Following a tea of cornedbeef hash & thick buttered tiger bread to dip in, there is still half a loaf in there....

Damn to hell my DH for buying this.....I need it, all of it, with thick butter, i need it.
As if the chocolates & mince pies were not enough, now ive got Tiger bread to battle against....

DAGNAMIT!

what makes it tigery? I never understand the attraction or the name.

Backtobedlam · 30/12/2011 20:09

I think it's the stripes on its back, as in, the way the crust is shaped? Could just be my wild imagination though

ObviouslyOblivious · 30/12/2011 20:11

It's the tigers in it, innit?

LRDtheFeministDragon · 30/12/2011 20:14

Ooh, I love tiger bread.

DH said we should buy some for over Christmas; I got tempted by some poncey seeded stuff for twice the price, fool that I am. Sad

HandMini · 30/12/2011 20:15

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM. Get thee to the kitchen, scoff and describe feelings of joy on this thread.

SuePurblybilt · 30/12/2011 20:16

So there's nothing extra in it, it's just crusty white bread? I always thought it was flavoured or something.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 30/12/2011 20:17

I think the crust is done with malt or something sticky to make it go dark and crusty, that's all. But it's very tasty.

earlyriser · 30/12/2011 20:18

Sesame oil on the top of the stripes gives it the flavour you so crave Grin

Dolcegusto · 30/12/2011 20:18

It's lovely.

My dd calls it lion bread Grin

EquestrianStatue · 30/12/2011 20:19

Wiki says it's made with sesame oil and has rice paste applied before baking to give the crust. Whatever, it's like eating cushiony white pillows of HEAVEN.

roastparsnipsandbrusselsprouts · 30/12/2011 20:20

Does it not have sesame oil in it or some other highly addictive really tasty substance?

redrubyshoes · 30/12/2011 20:21

Get to the kitchen and make a proper Welsh rarebit with mustard and real ale and strong cheese and onions and Worcestershire sauce and fecking everything.

floweryblue · 30/12/2011 20:22

It also has a cakey taste in the dough which makes it salty/sweet at the same time.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 30/12/2011 20:24

I have sesame oil in the cupboard.

If I tried to make it it'd be shit, wouldn't it?

FairToMiddlin · 30/12/2011 20:28

I love tiger bread. If you have a loaf in the kitchen, you can smell it from upstairs.

Whatever it is coated with actually makes my lips tingle.

Go and finish it. It will torment you all night if you don't. Grin

baubleybobbityhat · 30/12/2011 20:34

Yes, that's all very well, but how do you actually SLICE the bugger?

I have 3 or 4 bread knives and they have all been defeated by tiger bread.

Are you just supposed to pull chunks off it?

Salmotrutta · 30/12/2011 20:36

I luuuuuurve Tiger Bread.

That's all.
