To hate packet sliced bread?

Yuck.

I just cannot think of anything worse than mass produced packet bread from the supermarket. I'd rather go without it than have to dip it in soup or eat a sandwich made from it.
You know , the thin, bland, odd tasting stuff.

It's not as if traditional bread types are much more expensive these days. I absolutely refuse to buy it. I'd rather buy a Tesco organic freshly baked loaf for 90p.

Cool story bro. Confused

PawPawNoodle · 04/02/2019 23:48

Don't eat it, then.

GreyHare · 04/02/2019 23:49

You are very wrong, Hovis thick white sliced is food of the gods, toasted with butter and marmite is purest heaven.

don’t but it OR buy it

HeronLanyon · 04/02/2019 23:54

YANBU but each to their own surely. I love pretty much all bread including as pp has said thick white toasted with salty butter and red currant jelly or marmite. Just stocked up with some flour and yeast in case we have b*it food shortages (and as supermarket bosses are saying so I don’t think it is stupid scaremongering anymore). Quite looking forward to going back to baking my own. Used to do a good one with black olives in it.

RomanticFatigue · 04/02/2019 23:54

Now I beg to differ, Cheap sliced bread with bacon and ketchup is hangover food from the gods. But you probably don't get hangovers do you OP?

HeronLanyon · 04/02/2019 23:55

Incredibly - your typo made it funnier for some reason Wink

Vicky1990 · 05/02/2019 00:03

I am with you on this, always get the Tesco organic loaf and get them to slice it for me.
It amazes me that people buy non organic white bread when a much more healthy and wholesome loaf of bread is available.

Holier than thouuuHalo

halfwitpicker · 05/02/2019 00:10

Well, you're all a bit mean aren't you?

Work for Warbies, do you?

Feck me there's some misery guts on here

LikeACowsOpinion · 05/02/2019 00:13

YABVU.

It's bread.
Whether it's an organic, artisan, handcrafted, cooked by angels breath and sprinkled with unicorn tears loaf cut by Arthurs sword or a bog standard loaf of Hovis in a bag.

It does the same job.

worriedwinfred · 05/02/2019 00:15

Grayhare has it in one. Hovis thick white is THE BREAD. I mean if Carlsberg did loafs and all that...

LikeACowsOpinion · 05/02/2019 00:16

And as for white bread in general being called healthy and wholesome Hmm

(Disclaimer: I only eat white bread, it is the food of the gods, but if you're going to be a snob about it then at least make wholemeal your loaf of choice..)

leccybill · 05/02/2019 00:22

You literally can't think of anything worse? Seriously?!
Anyway Roberts Toastie all the way here.

I have been buying it for years, love the soggy slices, however, it has changed and mostly is horrible now. The slices have become thicker, it is made with palm oil (sneakily renamed on some packaging as emulsified fats) and either soya or chick pea flour, so is in reality not proper bread any more.

I mourn the loss of Wonderloaf, Sunblest and Mothers Pride, and hate the polystyrene slices of Warburtons, Kingsmill and whatever M&S have done to theirs, it is nothing like bread at all.

Apparently the recipes have changed due to the increase in low carb diets and the drop in sales.

I can make my own, but it is never light and soggy. I buy sourdough to be healthy but nothing makes a sandwich like a soggy white sliced loaf. Artisan bread is just something to buy when there is nothing else.

"Packet sliced bread"

AKA Bread to 99.9 % of people

Please find something a bit less beige to hate (pun intended) it'll make you much more fun at parties.
