Yes, my grandmother did the same Rosie51 and BigBertha.

I do that now Big Bertha/Rosie 😂

BigBertha apart from the coils of hair you could have been describing my paternal grandmother smile She sliced bread and butter exactly the same, a lovely memory.

I remember my Grandmother with her coils of hair round her ears and her wrap over apron cutting thin slices of bread and butter by buttering the cut end of the loaf first and then slicing it thinly holding the loaf in a tea towel end up. Lovely memory.

I freeze slices in packs of 4 to stop us having a bread fest

I never buy sliced bread - then I have a choice how thick or thin I cut it. In our local Sainsbury you can take your loaf of bread of choice and have it cut to the thickness you require.

I buy artisan bread as I prefer it and it is never sliced. We eat very little bread really and a boule or equivalent lasts about a week.

Agree bread from a nice bakery is the best but I can then make my way through the loaf! It's dangerous for me

The Warburtons’ medium sliced is thin really.
I’ve not seen the (red wrapper) thin sliced for many years now.
I too have a fancy sometimes for a crisp or cucumber sandwich with potted beef; better with thinly sliced bread.😋

Warburtons wholemeal is fairly thinly sliced.

Have you tried warburtons medium soft white (dark blue wrapper) that's quite a thin one

Not the same I know, but Warburton's and some own brand 'thins' as good with tasty fillings.

crazyH Fri 18-Aug-23 19:16:47

I opt for medium-sliced

Ilovecheese Fri 18-Aug-23 19:15:07

I can't find it either it's all either thick or "medium". I suppose they sell more loaves if the slices are thicker,

Warburton’s used to do a thin sliced years ago. It was in a red wrapper.

I always look for thin sliced bread at Christmas to make a selection of sandwiches in the evenings as 'finger food' (thereby disguising the turkey and ham) but to no avail.

Always a staple purchase as a child.

All the bread I usually buy seems to be being cut thicker. Much prefer thin sliced bread so I can enjoy the fillings.
Anyone else finding it difficult to get ready sliced thin?
Having to buy unsliced and cut it myself.
