What do you consider to be the best white bread?

I am having a constant battle with one of my DDs regarding wholemeal/granary bread. She used to love it and eat it in her lunchbox - her sandwiches now come back uneaten and she keeps pleading for white bread. I have just continued giving her brown, waiting for this phase to stop, thinking if she's hungry enough she'll eat it.

I've always thought white bread was full of crap and completely nutrition free but I read in a magazine yesterday that small children should be given white rather than brown as too much fibre fills them up quickly and stops them eating other important food groups (fruit, yoghurt etc).
This was written by a nutritionist.

So, if I'm going down the white bread route, which one is best?

My favourite is Warbatons Toastie. Its an orange wrapper, yummy.
Also like plain bread, don't know if you just get that in Scotland though.

What about that 'best of both'. My dd thinks it's white?

Same as Hoolagirl.

I have the same issue with my ds. I have been sing best of both and he seems fine with that. I also buy french bread type rolls as he likes those and I read somewhere the quicker bread goes off the better it is as it lacks presevatives - but you need to get it fresh.

another vote for warbortons - but on taste not knowledge of nutrional content!

My two don't like bread "with bits in" so I either make my own with soft grain flour or use best of both.

my brown hating 6 yr old will eat 'best of both'

i buy best of both or sainsburys organic white bread (more dense and less plasticky than otehr stuff)

Local baker in my town - crusty farmhouse - yum!
(not much use to you I know, but a local baker doesn't use all the crappy presevatives and mould inhibitors that some pre-packed brands do)

Another vote for my local baker - although he sold out now sold in Londis of all places. It is simply delicious and no use to whatsoever!
