four-wheel-drive Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I happen to know at Xmas for bread a very well known bakery puts extra fat in the mix to make the bread feel softer,as it's not all fresh daily, again at Xmas it may have stood in the bakery for an extra day, they just put different date labels on, At Easter they flash freeze the bread buns and store them so they can build up a stock I was referring to bread made in house like lots of supermarkets do today I do not no what they do with the bread that is not sold daily but mostly I get my bread at about mid day and quite often it is still worm as it has just come out of the oven. As for keeping bread for over a week in the fridge the crusts do get a bit harder but the bread still tastes ok as for the birds not liking it I have found that for some reason birds and for that matter ducks tend not to like bread with lots of seeds in they seem to like white bread with no taste or flavour at all.

The queues at my local Aldi can be quite long but they serve four times faster than my local Morrisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Bread stores better at room temperature than chilled. Ask Bakerboy. All to do with starch make up. This was on the TV a while ago so I gave it a try and found that my Sainsburys home/store made brown bread with all of the seeds in it not white bread tends to stay fresher kept in my fridge than in the cupboard that is why I keep it in the fridge perhaps it is being brown bread or the seeds I cannot say.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Bread stored in a refridgerator will go stale quicker than bread kept at room temperature, but mould will grow quicker on bread at room temperature than it will in the fridge. My pet bakers advice is to cut loaves in half, freeze them and use one at a time to keep your bread fresher for longer in a bread bin.

I buy sliced bread and keep it in the freezer, taking out only what I need, You could do it with uncut and slice it beforehand, Most supermarkets with in store bakeries will slice their uncut for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 If you think things are bad where the great unwashed are supposed to be paying for it, you should see them when they feel that they have already 'paid for it'. Just come back from 2 weeks of HELL on Butlins at Sea ! (used to be called a cruise). Makes me ashamed of the Human Race ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 The queues at my local Aldi can be quite long but they serve four times faster than my local Morrisons. I go to Aldi Wednesday midmorning when I can. Its usually quiet then. I think this dumping chilled food elsewhere in the store is done by the same oiks who thinks its Ok to throw there fast food wrappers out of the car window.

Glenlivet Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Was at the Cheshire game and country fair on Saturday. The sweet stall where it's 'pick and mix', ie open boxes, young lad with his mother was sifting through the sweets with his hands. Fat mother did nothing and I pledged NEVER to buy sweets from a similar stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep seen a similar thing, fat mother with two fat kids, the kids were dipping their hands into the various pick and mix boxes and into their mouths, mother just stood there laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Reminded me of another supermarket we occasionally use - this is near the special place for those poor disadvantaged people who travel our countryside towing caravan and eaking out a living by any means possible. I watched a family of these creatures and they should have been weighed before and after leaving the store. Eating cakes, sweets and drinks. Dumping the litter on the shelves and basically running riot. Embarrassing for us normal humans to watch suck lawlessness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedsanity Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Modern excuses for bread are mass.produced to last for weeks using the "Chorleywood bread process", designed so the poor can get bread and the supermarkets can maximise profits, horrible stuff full of fillers and preservatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) In most of Europe bread is cheap because everyone buys a loaf a day freshly baked and what they don't use is fed to animals. No rubbish in it either P.S it isn't square pre sliced either Edited September 4, 2016 by dodeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
