Which type of bread do you prefer? Although I used to like white the best, I have found that I have started to prefer wheat more. 🙂

Buying bread by brand is a losing proposition (buy bread from a bakery, not from a factory), but whole grain, definitely. It has more taste, and there's no reason to eat bread if you can't taste it properly. Except for sandwiches; you want square white loaves for them.
Also nice: poppy seed loaves, and mixed-grain bread. And loaves with sunflower seeds stuck to the crust.

Something with a bit of character and chewiness - white bread is tasteless pap suitable for children. Rye, multigrain, some wholemeal (some of it's tinted white stuff) are all good. Walnut bread, olive bread, banana bread are all good.

Wheat bread. Definitely. White bread is garbage with absolutely no redeeming characteristics...made out of recycled paper or something.... 😠

Granary.

Though leisurelysloth has clearly never had a decent loaf of white bread. Some of it is lovely.

I had some really good gluten-free bread when I was trying an elimination diet. It's horrendously expensive, though. 🙁

Er, white bread is wheat bread, isn't it (at least most of the time)?

I generally like darker breads. I miss good fresh "Schwarzbrot" (literally "black bread", a dark rye bread) here in Norway.

Most of the gluten free bread I have tried has been ok for toast but it goes stale quickly, meaning if you want a sandwich you have to make it on the day you buy the loaf!

I agree that the price is excessive, although I can get it as a free prescription on the NHS

i make my own fish 'bread'.


here's my recipe:
- just follow a normal recipe for a loaf of white bread, except:
- leave all the ingredients out,
- leave all the instructions out, and
- add a fish.

don't forget to take the guts out, though!

fantastic with butter and jam and a nice pot of tea. YUM!
