English Style Sliced Bread
I remember a while ago comments regarding sliced bread as near to English as you can get here. I can't remember what it is called or where it can be purchased. I am trying to organise a tea party for our Grandson and want to make it as authentically English as possible. Any recommendations very welcome, thanks.

Thanks Kate and Sue. Sue, where do you buy your bread in Spain as we go frequently but would have to go to Laroque especially.

Mercadona, Figueres. Its called sandwich grande. Why grande I dont know, although the slices are the same size as a standard UK sliced loaf there are about as half as many. The bonus is it is not sweet and does give you a half decent sandwich. Having said that a ready sliced boule is pretty darned good too.

Good luck. But I'm doubtful how "authentically English" the result will be. Sandwiches first became fashionable in the UK about 1770. Loaf-at-a-time slicers came in (from the US) in the 1930s. The Chorleywood process - the basis for the specially limp-and-soggy character of modern UK industrial bread - came in the 1960s. Not at all the sort of stuff they ate at tea time at Downton Abbey.

But Bimbo? Seriously? Does it mean something meaningful or bread related in another language by any chance or was a just an unfortunate choice of name? Makes me think of Pshitt and Sic lemonade brands which kept me amused for years when I was younger. Still buy Chateau d'Arse wine just for the name..... Very immature sense of humour.

Sliced bread
Thanks for all your ideas. I can't stand Bimbo. It was the first industrialised bread in Spain as far back as about 1968. I'll try Mercadona's sliced bread. It will be only be a one off buy as I eat graines & céréales bread on the rare occasion that I eat it.
