Whos bread is the biggest?
Now....im kind of hoping that i can settle a conflab the wife and i have been having.
I am sure i remember British slices being bigger than the ones here. Just on a standard loaf. They seem tiny to me here, but the gaffers sure they are bigger than back home.
What do you guys reckon?
If someone still in the UK is sad enough could you whip out a rule and measure a slice? Not sandwich bread, just the regular stuff.
Cheers
Pete.

And just for the sake of it are 12cm x 11.5cms per slice. 700gm per loaf and cost 95c per loaf. Thats in a fruit and veg shop east of Brisbane.

Im with renth, the soy and linseed is my fave. $3.50 a pop though!
Lany....i reckon you should change bakers! Our bread keeps at least 2-3 days, then its still fine for toast for another day or two.

$2 / 4 loaves = $0.5 / 750 g loaf:
1. Add ingredients - 1 minute,
2. Come back in 3 hours at the bing, remove loaf - 1 minute,
3. Eat.
