There is,
as i type,

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!

I bought some tiger bread , and now my picky 14 year old britains next top model DD likes bread again . As long as it has thick butter on it .

dearprudence · 30/12/2011 20:56

DH hates it but I love it. The special flavour is sesame oil.

Yabu. Tiger bread tastes and smells foul.

In fact when i was pg it made me feel sick whenever I walked past it in the supermarket. Vile.

Runs away.

oiwheresthecoffee · 30/12/2011 20:59

If its a issue you can always give it to me...id love to munch my way through it.

thebestisyettocome · 30/12/2011 20:59

I agree slow burner. Tiger bread does nothing for me at all.

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 30/12/2011 21:00

A few years ago when I was on lighterlife diet, I had to BAN that from being in the house.
I could cope with chocolate, crisps, biscuits and anything else that I loved, but I could smell tiger bread from my bed and it was too much. Had to get DH and kids to eat it all ASAP and never to bring it in the house again.

I have been eating Tiger rolls and extra strength Marmite for breakfast all this week.

One day I had them for lunch and supper as well...

GwendolineMaryLacedwithBrandy · 30/12/2011 21:04

One of the worst days of my life was when I realised that a tiger load and pack of butter was cheaper than a manky supermarket sandwich.... It all went to pot then.

Mmm. Bloody mmm. That is all.

WhistletoeAndMine · 30/12/2011 21:58

Love it? Want it fresher and warm? Waitrose sell one of those halfbaked ones that you pop in the oven.

As if it wasn't yummy enough already. A fresh cooked loaf lasted about half an hour in our house.

SuePurblybilt · 30/12/2011 21:59

DizzyMissIzzy · 30/12/2011 22:15

Hate to do this ladies but Tesco do a tiger loaf with cracked black pepper and sea salt on top!! If you thought the original was addictive......Grin

ReindeerBollocks · 30/12/2011 22:19

I am salivating over that dinner with tiger bread. I just pull off chunks of tigers bread commoner but I don't care because it's lovely.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 30/12/2011 22:21

Tiger bread makes fantastic toasted sandwiches Wink

StandingAlone · 30/12/2011 22:23

YANBU to ask why it was invented.

YWBVU to not eat it, go on you know you want to.

Whilst enjoying the undoubted scrumminess of this well-known bakery product, do spare a thought for the mere 3,200 tigers left in the wild.

One adult male Bengal tiger is good for only about 15 loaves, so you can imagine the impact of the popularity of this breakfast or teatime snack upon the dwindlng numbers of this noble and handsome beast.

I am running similar public awareness campaigns about Tesco's Black Rhino Pate range; Superdrug's very popular Mountain Gorilla 24-hour Anti-Wrinkle Night Therapy Cream and the fashionable and best-selling selection of Giant Panda Gloves and Slippers in their "Jungle Favourites" range (available at all major branches, from Nov '11)

Look, if you're interested, I have these rather interesting and exclusive hand-tooled elephant tusk iPad 2 stands

ednurse · 30/12/2011 22:25

I have it with nutella Blush

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 30/12/2011 22:27
