Best tasting bread

Efour2 said:
Just a little thing, i recently watched a TED lecture by a prominent baker woman, i don't remember her name but she said. its so ironic that the human race has been eating bread, probably one of the most staple foods in society for 1000s of years and suddenly in the past couple of decades its gone from daily essential to what people now describe it as unhealthy.

I think she spot on and its completely mind blowing to blame the food and not the lifestyle changes of modern people.

ANYWAY :p

Mine is probably some kind of wholemeal brown very seeded but not linssed, chewey as hell with just cheese or butter. Thick cut too.

S'not quite that simple though is it? I doubt the ancient greeks were dining out on heavily processed Warburton toastie white that has about a gram of salt per slice.
 
I got a cheese & Marmite cob from the Bread Shed in Cartmel last December (we stayed in Cartmel for a week). Was food heaven :cool:

There's a small bakery at home which has it's own shop and also supplies one of the local farm shops. Their granary loaf is superb and they make cracking iced buns as well :D
 
As far as "off the shelf" brands go, what do people prefer? I was bought up a Hovis kid having best of both most of the time, but I really prefer Warburtons white bread

...Food is what makes you fat, your lifestyle just contributes e.g. if you don't excercise but only eat 1200 calories per day, unlikely you'll be fat, if you go to the gym but eat nothing but McDonalds, KFC, Burgerking, it's likely you'll be overweight.

Yes lifestyle makes you fat but you can't say food doesn't lol

That's crap. If you consume more calories than you expend you put on weight. It really is that simple. It doesn't matter where the food comes from. I accept that not all food is equal in terms of nutritional value or how good it is for you, but a calorie is a calorie.

You can't tell me that someone who lives on fast food, despite going to the gym is going to be thin and muscular?

Just when I thought you couldn't get any worse, you go and pull this one out of the bag :D

Bread wise, I enjoy making my own. Fresh smell of bread in the morning and just a slice of still warm bread with melted butter on it. Nom. Thick sliced for toast too.

Brioche is win too, like Frenchy said.

Because what I said was incorrect somehow? you can't blame just food or just lifestyle they are both contributing factors

That literally (Richard) isn't what you said in the above quote. Think before you post. Think more Jay. Think more.

If that person expends more calories than he or she eats then they won't get fat - however, I would suggest it's not the healthiest of lifestyles.
 
Ok so maybe you can, but it definately isn't going to be healthy is it, can we at least agree on that?
 
To be fair to Jay794, what he was alluding to is true. When people are talking about weight (if they're fat or not), the key thing is going to be what they eat.

If you're working with "if you consume more calories than you expend you put on weight" you've always got to bear in mind that the body is pretty efficient at preserving energy. In a good committed hour at the gym you might optimistically hope to burn what, an extra 500 calories?

Most people can eat an extra 500 calories without even thinking about it. It's about 3 slices of white bread with margarine. Hardly worth slogging my guts out for an hour at the gym.
 
It's a lifestyle issue. 1000 cals of protein is still 1000 cals. End of. The more LBM you have the faster you use the calories. So exercise isn't pointless.
 
On topic (:p)

I really, really like one of the wholemeal breads Asda sell. It's nothing special (well, I think it's supposed to be 'Baker's Best') but it is the absolute bomb toasted with mackerel in tomato sauce on it... Crisp on the outside, chewy and wholesome in the middle. Yum.

Morrison's also do a lovely cheese topped loaf of some description which is like a cheesy tiger loaf. Amazing with beef stew.

Other than that, white bread for bacon sarnies (buttered, no sauce), baker's cobs for anything else. White normally, occasionally cheese topped.
