To ask if tiger bread is laced with heroin?

Or something equally addictive.

I've just eaten most a bit of tiger french stick. I can't stop. Filled with Asda chicken tikka sandwich filling stop judging

I can't stop. What is it? No other bread leaves me this way.

It could well be OP. It's the kind of thing that i deliberately don't buy because I can't leave it alone.

You probably want to stay away from the Lidl instore bakery because their ciabatta is the nicest bread I've ever tasted and I once ate 90% of one for elevenses sliced and buttered with a variety of other toppings on the different slices (jam, pate, cream cheese etc).

Their cheesy twist pastries are pretty damn good too. Its a good job that I have almost all the other supermarkets closer to me than Lidl or I would be the size of two houses might be worth it though.

Tescos tiger bread rolls fill the whole house with the most amazing smell. Better than any scented candle I've found!

on friday i bought a massive tiger loaf from tesco. me and dh had eaten it all by staurday lunch.

If you have a leaky gut wall, complex carbs and sugars have an opiate-like effect on your blood. Genuinely addicting.

I had a tiger baguette thing at lunchtime BUT it's OK because I had it with Gwyneth Paltrow's detox walnut and lentil paté so it's dead healthy :)

Mmmm, Tiger Bread.

It does send ds2's blood sugar into orbit faster than a packet of haribo though.

MrsSippie · 07/01/2014 16:00

today's bread has fat injected into it which makes you have that horrible bloated feeling and all sorts of yuck stuff :(

mrspremise · 07/01/2014 16:03

My car smells of Tiger Bread because I bought some at lunchtime to take home for supper. Smile

phantomnamechanger · 07/01/2014 16:06

it's got sesame oil in it and the cracked crust is made from rice paste.

tis lovely! ( and the reply from the sainsburys manager to the little girl who wrote about it looking like giraffe bread was absolutely lovely )

slimyak · 07/01/2014 16:11

I love bread - tiger, giraffe, monkey bread for all I care! Although OP, I'm with you on Asda Tiger bread, definitely a superior product to other super markets. I have decided to stop supporting this addictive trade as a New Year Resolution. I'm home cooking and will hopefully have a satifying but less intense relationship with my carbs from now on.

ophiotaurus · 07/01/2014 16:12

I want some now!

Itstartshere · 07/01/2014 16:20

Sob. I'm a Low carber.

I miss a Tiger Bread.

edwinbear · 07/01/2014 16:24

Massive wedge of tiger bread, dunked into Heinz cream of tomato soup. The simple pleasures in life.

BuntyPenfold · 07/01/2014 16:25

I've always thought it smells terrible and wondered what is in it.

LittleMissRedSparklyBaubles · 07/01/2014 16:27

Love tiger bread, laced with real butter. If I buy it to go with pasta or something it is always gone before mealtime. It is salty doughy goodness.

Curlyweasel · 07/01/2014 16:28

Asda tiger tail is simply acers with Tesco caramelised onion humous. Pain in the arse to do the shop mind, but oh so worth it. I have an arse like a barn door 'cos of it/them and the fact that I'm 6 month's preggers and a greedy fat bugger.

struggling100 · 07/01/2014 16:29

I have never had tiger bread! I am slightly wary of trying it after reading this thread. I might never stop eating again... Smile

CynicalandSmug · 07/01/2014 16:30

Yuk, hate bread. I have never even heard of tiger bread!

Writerwannabe83 · 07/01/2014 16:31

I bloody love tiger bread - I eat ridiculous amounts of the stuff!! Grin

RalphGnu · 07/01/2014 16:33

I now want some tiger bread more than I've ever wanted anything in my whole life.

CosyTeaBags · 07/01/2014 16:34

Go on Cynical and struggling .. just try one little bite...

It is particularly lovely slathered in butter and dunked into home made, hearty soup of some sort - thus solving the guilt as we all know home made soup cancels out the unhealthiness.

GotMyGoat · 07/01/2014 16:36

I asked once in store what they glazed the tiger bread with - the baker didn't know, so think it is top secret.

StripyPenguin · 07/01/2014 16:38

It's usually sesame oil and rice paste. I better not get sacked for telling the secret! ;

scampadoodle · 07/01/2014 16:52

I really think this thread should be read in tandem with the 'Why aren't French women fat?' one. Bonsoir will be turning in her navy pumps... Grin

SaucyJack · 07/01/2014 16:58

It used to be.

Tesco tiger bread these days is a sad, pale imitation of the glory days of old.

I remember you used to be able to choose the tastiest loaf by turning it over and seeing how much tarry stuff was caked on the bottom. Not any more.
