AIBU to think that bread should be edible

We don't eat much bread, but a new bakery has opened in town and we buy lovely bread from there. It is not cheap but worth the extra.

I'm not too keen on multi-seeded or heavy-textured bread.

Try Waitrose's sliced white sourdough .... I once ate a whole loaf in two days! blush It freezes well and toasts easily from frozen.

I like Warburtons Toastie loaf, £1 at Asda, but £1.59 at the Co-op.

We make all our bread (not in a breadmaker), but when we are in England we quite enjoy Vogel.

I don't buy bread from Waitrose - none of it ever seems very fresh.
Our Co-op convenience store has some nice bread, but we are lucky to have a small baker within walking distance who makes lots of lovely
artisan breads which freeze every well.
Perhaps worth seeking one out in your area, Gk?

I think you should have fed them to the birds, Grannyknot - they're probably not as fussy as you! grin

Can't you get smaller loaves to try?

I'm so tired of buying bread at a ridiculous price in supermarkets and finding that I may as well chuck the bread away and eat the packaging. So I'm going to name and shame a few here, in case it's just me:

The Food Doctor Multi-seed & Cereal loaf (tasteless)
Waitrose Love Life Wholemeal and Pumpkin Farmhouse (cardboard)

I mean, with names like those, and at almost £2 a pop, you'd expect to be able to actually enjoy a sandwich or a piece of toast. That's two loaves in the bin today because I wouldn't even feed them to the birds.
