...do you keep bread in the fridge?

Never

i don’t, my boyfriend does

ps: similar problems with bagels & tortillas, often in fridge to avoid mould

I'm impressed people have space in their fridge for a load of bread.

No.
Freezer if necessary, for extra. Fridge, never.

Of course not
It dries out in the fridge and goes stale quicker because science.
I'm at people thinking it keeps fresher longer. Where on earth did they get that idea???

Hell no.

No. but I always keep bread in the freezer and then either thaw slices as I need them or toast from frozen. I live alone so a loaf lasts me a week or more.

Good god no. What fresh hell is this? Soggy bread

Nope. on the counter or in the freezer.

No. PIL do and it always tastes slightly hard and not nice so maybe it’s a diet technique?

This is one of the most traumatic AIBU threads I've followed on Mumsnet. OP, the Vipers are with you.

And @neroforte surely you've been here long enough to know that's the reddest of red flags ever and you must LTB immediately.

No no no no no!!!!!!

Nope. Lives in the bread bin.

No. It is morally and ethically unforgivable.

Freezer is fine. And normal.

I'mat people thinking it keeps fresher longer. Where on earth did they get that idea???

"NO IT DOESN'T!!!!!" is basically my catchphrase at this point.

I can't tell what you AIBU is though, so I daren't vote. You have to make a statement to be 'U'. But you've asked a question.

I feel troubled.

No. It goes stale so quickly if you do.

At the school where I taught, we made toast/bread and jam for the children in the morning (many had been on the bus to our specialist school for up to an hour). My assistants were forever putting the sliced loaf in the fridge, and it didn't matter how often I asked them not to. It was nasty cheap bread to start with, and putting it in the fridge, even for a day, turned it even nastier.

No, it dries out the bread faster. Someone's posted a link upthread that probably explains it.

Keep fighting the good fight, OP.

On the counter or in the freezer.

I think that older people keep bread in the fridge because if there's only one person, it goes mouldy too quickly. In the fridge, it just goes stale more quickly.

I keep bread in the fridge because I eat it as toast, and then it keeps for a long time, and you don't notice it's dry.

No

No but I don't drive and therefore shop weekly, so bread and most things are frozen and we take what we need from one of the freezers.

No
I freeze bread though

Yeah, I tend to find it goes mouldy less quickly
