best thing since sliced bread ? the toaster 
Hi Alan,
The short answer is that I never eat what I consider to be probably the worst bread available the Standard White Cut Loaf. I do now buy my bread which is Wholemeal because I no longer have the time to devote in making my own bread. If there was no bread available I have the ingredients at hand to set to and make my own.

I always buy granary bread. I love the malty, nutty flavour. If it is Chorleywood ptocess, it doesn't taste like it. The texture is not that of a "sliced white" and I don't give it the opotunity to go stale!
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

We make our own as much as possible or should I say the breadmaker does! But we don't buy commercially produced sliced bread. If we buy bread it is the bread made in the bakery attached to the supermarket where they will slice it for you if asked.

Exactly the same as GL.
Although I have recently purchased a fascinating book, on the recommendation of my daughter who makes the most amazing breads, called The Bread Baker's Apprentice, but have yet to make the time to try out the methods and the recipes
Will have to wait until we are not quite so busy on other projects but definitely something to look forward to, although I'm sure my waistline will suffer.

I can't eat white bread at all, I like granary bread but at the moment my very favourite bread at the moment is organic three grain bread from Asda or Morrisons. It is heavy and very brown about five slices to the packet but delicious. (£1) And if you have irritable bowel or hiatus hernia (which I have) you get no problems with eating this bread. Mmmmmm

I like to make my own wholemeal, I use the airing cupboard to rise it, and if I don't have much time then an Irish soda bread is easy, quick and tasty. I wouldn't even feed that pappy white sliced stuff to my ducks !

I make my own bread, usually with wholemeal flour from Waitrose. But I was in Norfolk recently and brought back some Spelt flour milled at Letheringset mill, on the River Glaven. Looking forward to trying it ! 
Hello John
I use wholemeal Spelt quite a lot. It makes a wonderful loaf. I've found that the most reliable results come when using 50:50 mix of spelt and strong white flour baked on the wholemeal cycle of my bread machine.

I love it all - white bread, brown bread, spelt bread, home-made, shop bought, granary.... I love the smell, the taste, the texture.... and it all makes me really ill 
Wheat free bread is truly awful (although at least it is edible now whereas a few years ago it was just like cardboard) and also very expensive (£2.50 for a small loaf). I was in Paris a few weeks ago and ate my way through the local boulangerie. The bread and pastries were fantastic. I was so ill when I got back home but it was worth it (I think).
