To like bread and butter

I have never found a

How did that happen?!

Start again.

I have never managed to buy any bread in a 'foreign' baker's that was anywhere near as good as UK bakers' bread.

Even our French bread is better than the French one.

Don't mention french bread - it's nothing like real english bread. After a few hours it's like concrete. A neighbour worked in a school kitchen here (France) and used to bring the bread leftovers every day, for our hens. I had to soak them first.
I make all our bread and am so glad we don't have to follow a gluten-free diet! I make white brioche type, and wholemeal with Doves Farm flour.
So I eat a lot of bread, but with lowfat marg. not butter.
It's the staff of life.

I found my fave German rye bread in my local M&S, where they bake on site.That, plus Lurpak salted butter= food of the Gods for me.Always a red letter day when I happen to go there and they still have some. Before I knew I could get it here, I used to bring loaves back from visits to my family in the USA

Co-op tiger bread rolls, like the crusty cobs of yore, are fab too.

Lurpak salted - lovely! Low fat marg - not lovely!

Agree totally, Ana re: low fat marg.Ugh! And that stuff we're not supposed to believe is not butter - who are they kidding?

Anyway,can anyone explain to me what 'best' butter is? Both my mother and grandmother used to use that phrase and I've always wondered...

Lowfat marg - I agree it's nothing like butter. But I was told not to eat butter after my heart attack - I think they've changed their view about butter now.
My Auntie Pat, a farmer's wife , used to make butter from the cream from their own cows. She had a machine called a separator, you put the milk in and it separates the cream from the buttermilk. Then she worked the butter churn by hand.

Benecol light has a delicious flavour. Some butters just taste like - fat.

When you think what is in butter - cream from milk, it wouldn't have any flavour without the salt. It's the salt we like.

Yes, she used to put the salt in at the end.
