Bread, they say, is the staff of life... and there's no getting away from it, good bread is a treat to eat... so why on earth do we put up with the pap that litters the shelves of supermarkets and other high street shops? I'm not including traditional bakers of course...

Okay, so this is the subject of this morning's rant...
Bread

This is a slice of wholemeal bread, baked fresh at my local supermarket and sold at a premium price. It's supposed to be good for you... healthy eating and all that... but the truth is this stuff tastes like crap! (not that I'm any sort of expert on crap eating you understand)

I'm no baker by any means, but I've baked tastier bread than this and I know for sure the baker who normally supplies my bread would just shake his head in disgust at a slice that tastes like paper and has the consistency of slightly soggy cardboard! :yes:

Staff of life? Trust me, you wouldn't live too long if you relied on this sort of junk. :no:

Serves me right for being lazy and not making the effort to get my bread from the usual source... all I can say is I hope the birds like it, because the loaf is now broken up and scattered all over my lawn. >:-(
