Does anyone seriously enjoy sourdough?

[SunshineAndFizz]

I just find the crust so tough and chewy. I always feel so undignified ripping a bite off like a wild animal, usually while the filling drops everywhere.

Posh, artisan type places seem to all love a bit of sourdough, I just don't get it. What am I missing?!!

I love it toasted. Don’t tend to eat it without toasting.

God yes. Toasted with lashings of good butter - it's the food of the gods. I have to ration myself.

I make my own, and it's so much nicer than what you buy. I love it toasted.

Great for toast, crap for a sandwich.

I love it. Do that any other type of bread.

It's nice in soup, wouldn't be my first choice for a sandwich.
Sourdough pizza base though is lovely

love it. but prefer german/polish rye sourdough.

toasted
with stilton & pickle

Same!

Love it - but agree, not for a sandwich. I like the M&S seeded ones, really filling and no bloating

As bread no. Toast definitely!

I never understood the popularity, I don't like it. I sometimes buy it because it looks nice in the shop and think I'll give it another go. Always disappointed.

Best for bread and butter pudding due to its consistency (doesn’t take it soggy)!

I'm very happy to have it in a sandwich. I'm happy to have it under any circumstances really! I like the fact that it's chewy and I like the slightly sour taste vs normal bread which seems so bland to me now

This. Toasted. A real treat

ajd if it is very fresh form oven..still warm or warmed up in oven.

but cold..meh 🥹

I don't generally have it as a sandwich as it's too chewy, but lightly toasted with loads of butter and something like bacon/poached egg/avocado/brie etc it's a thing of beauty!

I either like it toasted or just spread with butter but not as a sandwich.

Love it. A loaf of Jason’s sourdough is my weekend treat at the moment!

Only toasted with eggs - in a thick white sliced lover for all other bread needs

Yeah food of the Gods I agree. I really can’t be bothered with normal bread after sourdough. It’s just tastes kind of flimsy and bland in comparison.

I started with it toasted and the butter kind of melting deliciously into all those crumpety holes and perfectly offsetting the delicious “ tang”, but now I love it as much or more fresh and springy with avocado and fresh, sweet tomatoes and lots of cracked black pepper. A knob of Brie turns it into a last wish dish. It has to be fresh though, ( if not toast it), but omg when it is fresh … bread is just a poor relation. The tang, the BOUNCE, the jaw workout. Absolutely love the stuff. The rye and seedy versions are even better (and tend to stay bouncy longer) . The plus is I’m told it’s healthier than normal bread ( something to do with blood sugar?) and the seedy rye ones are really pretty wholesome.

Yes I love sourdough

Toasted is best, some sourdoughs I find don't work in a sandwich but plenty do. My local bakery their sourdough is delicious in all forms

As my dad would have said, it's tough as old boots. In fact I think I might rather eat my boots than sour dough.

Bred isn't proper bread unless it's sourdough... ok I don't mind othe types of bread but sourdough is up there in the top spot before French baguette or a decent chiabatta!

But the traditional white sandwich bred that sticks to the roof of your mouth and has no substance is an abomination!

I use it as a dipping bread for hummus or olive oil and balsamic

I love sourdough and bake it at home twice a week. I also make sourdough focaccia and cinnamon rolls.

I like it toasted.

I don’t like it not toasted.
