AIBU how can people eat cheap white bread

[Njuy]

Recovering from a stomach bug. One of the first things to eat is dry white toast.

My neighbour bought me a loaf of white bread. The stuff that costs 55p-80p, which many people buy based on the gaps on the shelf.

How can anyone buy this stuff normally? There’s nothing to it. No taste, weird texture.

I thought that it was just me from recovering from the bug. I have a few slices left. Again no taste, weird texture and just awful.

I do have bread - wholemeal. With white bread, it has to be a decent bread

Honestly? Crisp sandwiches are famous.

Having {nly eaten toastie bread or sliced tiger loaf for years I felt the same when my son bought kings mill medium sliced. It's so thin it's unbelievable. Even Warburton toastie is lame, it has to be thick stuff

Shop bought whole grain is as much UPF as white bread.

I can eat it easily, partly because I find wholewheat and seeded breads have a horrible texture! They go claggy in my mouth. I don't go for the cheapest of the cheap- typically I get toastie bread- but I wouldn't turn it down. Not that I don't love a nice white sourdough or ciabatta, but a white loaf is my go-to for sandwiches and toasties.

Are you just discovering now that different people like different things?

I love really decent bread. I also love old fashioned party sandwiches on shit bread.

@user1497787065 I love cold baked bean and salt and vinegar crisp sandwiches. Not in white bread though.

You don’t need to eat white bread after a stomach bug, that’s a myth. Wholemeal is far better.

Do you live under a rock?? Try it, you won’t regret it!

Any leftover you can make garlic bread, bread pudding, croutons.

The only things I use cheap white bread for are breadcrumbs and puddings (summer pudding / bread and butter pudding etc).

Cheap white sliced bread is my treat. It tastes so good with butter and as a sandwich

Crisps (my current most favourite is Wotsits), tomato ketchup, coleslaw, ham and mustard - any of these on sliced white bread. What a prize!

Oh yes beans on toast - must be white sliced bread toast. Maybe thicker version than sandwiches. You don't want your sandwiches too bready.

omg they taste so much better as triangles..

Fried cheap white bread with marmalade on it. Haven't eaten it in a long time (stupid diet) but it's a thing of beauty.
Excuse me whilst I weep into my yoghurt and bloody muesli.

Now I am craving a white sliced bread sandwich for lunch, with a glass of Vimto. Maybe some cola bottles.

If you've got a tummy bug it's the best thing... toast it and butter it.

Lots of reasons, it's could be all they can afford or that they like it.
I prefer it if I'm making a sandwich it's softer and it lets the filler be the star. I also sometimes prefer white bread toasted with jam.

Best thing for a tummy bug or feeling sick - is fizzy coca cola. Kills everything!

Brown for first course, white for pudding. Brown is savoury, whites the treat.

Poverty, that’s how

Add some crisps to it and it’s the perfect sandwich.

Because they like it. Everyone has different tastes.

Crisps sandwiches are food from the gods but it has to be white bread.
If you have never heard of it you haven't mixed with many people !

Omg you reckless UHP pusher.

🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️(…runs off to get cola bottles from the local shop… might have a monster munch chaser…)

I had a family stay with me and they left a bag of Tesco value crisps behind. I thought crisps are crisps but they were vile. But it was what they could afford (I’d rather do without myself).
You eat what you’re used to and if someone grew up eating cheap bread then that’s what bread tastes like to them.
