Is it just me getting more and more fussy, but does anyone else think that sliced bread in this country is just no longer worth buying.  My guess is that there are so many additives to make it last longer that it is bordering on the inedible. I'm tending to leave sliced bread well alone these days and go for a small freshly baked loaf that will only last for the day you buy it.  I think the French have got the right idea!

I don't buy sliced bread unless there's nothing else available. If I'd got time I'd be making more of my own bread (using a bread maker) as it's the only way to have bread that isn't spoilt by additives.

I like the wheat we use in our loaves as it does keep a bit longer than french bread.

I didn't realise that there were so many additives to bread to make it last longer. Perhaps its best to just go to the local bakery and buy the freshly baked loaves or bake the bread yourself!

No it's not just you I gave up buying bread a long time ago and started making my own. Evan made it in the van sometimes.

The only time we buy sliced bread is when my sister comes as we buy the Burgen soya and linseed loaf for her. 

Sometimes we buy baguettes, but otherwise we make all our own bread since we got a bread maker about 6 years ago.

The bread maker comes with us when we go on holiday.

The shop bought stuff just has no substance compared to our own.

I sometimes wonder if the increasing prevalence of coeliacs in the population is down to the stuff that gets put in the bread.

We only buy wholemeal sliced for toast, for any sarnies its a wholemeal loaf. On the occasion we have a white its usually a 'Tiger loaf', but must be eaten fresh on the day.

I never buy sliced bread. I do sometimes make my own, but more often buy a fresh small brown loaf. To be honest I don't use much bread, so that gets thrown away sometimes.

I'm glad it's not just me then.  It bought it home to me the other night when we has a do at church.  Someone bought bread from our local bakery - I realized what I'd been missing.....
