Bread

[barry1010]

Just curious as to how much bread you eat. These days i eat very little but even as a child I'd have at least two slices of toast for breakfast, usually with dripping in the winter, take sandwiches to school, have a jammy piece when I got home while waiting for tea.
The whole family ate much the same and so did my friends.

We ate a lot of bread. A healthy lunch for a child was typically a glass of milk, a cheese sandwich and an apple. How times have changed.

I love and adore bread, I could spend all day eating it. I used to bake it once or twice a week. Mother did too...memories of her bread straight out of the oven are memories of comfort. There was also thick, squishy Wonder Bread for mayo or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches after school. Left over roast beef open sandwiches smothered in gravy.
But it makes me bloated and my joints ache. And I crave more.
So now, I still bake (or buy)...but it's a loaf with oats and about 80% seeds. No wheat. Costly, not typically soft bread, but it gives me my dose of toast.

I don't eat much bread once or twice aweek, but today I made myself an egg mayo sandwich with seeded bread.

We buy one loaf of farmhouse sliced a week (2 of us) and there is usually about 4 slices left that go out to the birds. I have a slice of toast every morning, OH might make a toastie for himself 1 evening and we have a sandwich for lunch both weekend days.

Tend to eat crispbreads but like egg/mayo/onion sandwiches(brown bread) as well as tuna. I cut out bread completely when doing an exercise for a daily paper but dietician told me that one needs some bread on a daily basis.

One bread I don't like is Sourdough .... though a local Pizzeria uses it as a base for their pizzas and it tastes OK then!

I love bread especially crusty loaves like Asda hedgehog bread. I just don't bake it or buy it because I'd eat the whole thing smothered in butter with big chunks of cheese.
I have 2 slices every 10 days or so and no butter

Sainsburys giraffe bread - usually a sandwich for lunch and a couple of slices with a cooked tea (often eaten before the meal is ready). Sometimes a bit of bread and jam for a snack and a sliced small loaf lasts about three days.

[barry1010]

I had never heard of hard dough or giraffe bread. I don't like brioche.

Warburton's Thins (brown ones) are the only "bread" I eat. One a day toasted for breakfast and now and again I might have another one to make a sandwich later.

Oh Barry, I would so love some bread and dripping with a bit of salt and lots of brown jelly.

These days it is unusual for me to eat bread, t.b.h.. Like you, barry, I used to eat quite a lot. OH insists on a slice of toast for Sunday, breakfast and if I do the same I feel sick when dog-waking half an hour later.

[MissTerious2]

Nowadays I eat little bread and only gluten free. I love sour dough bread. MR T makes lovely bread and I just can't eat it.

^^^ 'Dog-walking' he's already awake and has done several circuits of the garden etc..

6 slices a day is the well balanced way,this is what a bread advert used to tell us.
my favourite is crosta&mollica italian toasting bread from waitrose.

[barry1010]

I'd forgotten about that, frip.
We never ate bread with dinner but a lot of families did, even with the Sunday roast. I suppose some still do.
Talking about Sundays, when I lived with my parents we often had tinned pears or peaches with tinned cream after tea, always with bread and butter. Seems bizarre now, bread and butter with fruit and cream

[fripfrip]

bizarre but nice,we often had carnation on our tinned fruit.

I think I'd find 2 slices with every meal to be too filling. No room for other nutritious food. Maybe that was the purpose.

[Hazlinny]

When I think of it now, I used to like butter and condensed milk on white bread - oooh!

My Nan used to make me bread, butter and sugar sandwiches. I was a skinny child. Most kids were back then. But we got loads of exercise and didn't suffer from poor nutrition,
