Title: Bread - medium v thick
Post by: bethypoos on June 03, 2006, 10:04:47 pm
Just wondered - what do people prefer? I was in sainsburys today overhearing a coupld debating medium and thick bread! Personally I like medium - it gives you crunchier toast

Depends what mood Im in. Warburtons super toastie is nice for a treat but generally, I prefer medium.

Medium - and if I can get it - thin - although no one seems to make it anymore.

Unsliced!  Sorry.

Thick - but usually I have medium as I buy the foil packed stuff, and for some reason Tesco never have thick sliced foil packed.

Unsliced is OK for soup

Thick sliced for me. Wholemeal bread


Of course if it's unsliced I can manage to go from extremely thin to outright door step in one complete slice!!

I'm good at that too SM - produces particularly interesting results in the toaster!

Crumpets are a pain in the toaster too.

Oh smurfboy - I'm totally the same. I buy tesco foil (longlife) because I'm on my own and otherwise it just goes out of date. I noticed they only did it in medium too!


Mind you - someone told me longlife bread is rubbish for you because it's full of extra preservatives...

Crumpets have to be done under the grill to get them how I like them - one side seems to need a lot longer than the other to me.

Do you like Pikelets? Prefer them to crumpets.

I never know the difference.  Goldencup is right.  The pored side takes a lot longer to cook than the flat side.

No. Crumpets are large and floppy (ooer) and have air bubbles in them.

When I buy scotch pancakes I can get them with lemon in or sultanas. Crumpets are thicker with the little holes in like BK describes and pikelets are thinner, like scotch pancakes but a different texture more like a crumpet.
