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?!!

It was my favourite form of bread, guts me I can’t have it anymore as can’t eat gluten anymore, it’s the biggest thing I miss.

I think the only way anyone enjoys sourdough is seriously. As in, they solemnly chomp on it, thinking how good it is for them and how virtuous they look eating it 😆

It’s bloody awful. What’s wrong with everyone.

My guts love it, normal bread bloats me and makes me constipated 😬

Hate sourdough. It's too chewy and tastes funny even toasted.

I love it - but only the proper stuff - which means buying it from artisan bakeries at a significant cost! I have a local bakery where the bread is £4.00 a loaf, but I really notice the difference between that and a supermarket sourdough...

With hueros rancheros, shakshuka, scrambled egg, poached egg/avocado it's amazing :D

Would probably make amazing beans on toast too, especially with Chili flakes.

I love sourdough. Toast is my breakfast of choice, other breads are just too soft. Love a good ciabatta too.

Love it very fresh or as toast. It's not fit for purpose as a sandwich bread. People should stop doing that.

It’s delicious toasted and drowning in some proper butter but, thinking about it.. maybe I just like the butter!

If it's properly sour it might be that the starter is too young. A more mature starter gives a softer, fuller flavour.

I love sourdough. It's the only white bread I will eat.

what I hate is the current trend for serving burgers on brioche buns. The sweetness of the brioche doesn't go with a delicious, meaty burger and the softness of the egg enriched dough collapses under the juiciness of the burger and toppings. A sour dough or ciabatta bun tastes better and soaks up the delicious juices without dissolving.

I love it. It’s pretty much the only bread I eat these days,

There's a lot of poor sourdough out there. I love it as a treat when it's good with good butter, which is usually in a particular restaurant. I'm fed up of raking the roof if my mouth with stuff you could stot off a wall

In lot of bakeries they sell stuff that looks completely burnt. That I do not understand. I do like the taste of sourdough though, just not to incinerated. It's nice with just butter, or toasted with savoury stuff or honey

Love it and I also like rye bread and black bread.

Some sourdough has had vinegar added to fake it.

Nothing wrong with US, dear. How about you?

Had it once - awful wind afterwards. Never had it since.

I don't like bread and vary rarely eat it but when I do it's toasted sourdough with butter and salt. Yummy!!!

Some of us hate it. Why do you have a problem accepting it?

Love it toasted with avocado

I love it. It gives me a stomach ache but it’s still worth it.

I can see why you don’t like it though. Eating it is a bit of a different experience to eating normal bread.

Yes - if it is very fresh or toasted, then it is the best! Otherwise...

Love it, but not the fake stuff supermarkets try and pass off as sourdough

Love it. Normal bread is just rubbish in comparison to proper sourdough.
