Our son, when he is across here sometimes buys that Mrs Bairds bog standard square white sliced loaf. One trip back home over the summer we forgot to empty the bread bin, we were away from June until late Sept.

When we got back I opened the bread bin and there it was, yikes I thought what will it look like?! It was exactly the same; white, no mould or anything!! I ventured a tiny taste and to my amazement it tasted absolutely fine (well apart from the fact it was crap to start with!)

This was left in an un air-conditioned apartment in Houston!!

I am an idiot I suppose but I buy one loaf of Daves killer breadhttp://www.daveskillerbread.com/#first-slide bread each week at $5.00 per loaf. Love the power seed formula with 6 grams of fiber per slice.

That actually IS good bread! My husband loves it. Sometimes Safeway has it on sale for $3.99.

You are not an idiot. That is also our bread of choice (although I prefer the good grains version).

You can make bread in the slow cooker (crockpot) too. No need for an extra breadmaker.

I found one loaf at Trader Joes that has no sugar, honey or corn syrup. Can't remember the name, it looks like half a loaf and is called french country bread or something. Will take a picture next time I go.

TJ's (and many other places) now have Dubliner and Kerrygold butter. Both lovely. Ralphs here in LA sells Black Bomber (sometimes) and a few other strong English cheddar brands. Gelsons also has some good imported stuff. Good cheese is usually found in a separate display to all the flavourless domestic stuff.

TJ's have a seed bread I like with no sweetener as well. Looking it up now, it looks like the whole "stone hearth baked" line fit the bill

Walmart's Italian bread for $1 a loaf is the best I have found here for both sandwiches and toast.

There are more options for buns/rolls that are savory, and Walmart also does good ones of those too.

"Normal" bread here is just ridiculously sweet and inedible.

OMG Malt loaf... can you get that here? I used to love it smothered in Clover...

One thing to remember, the reason one cannot get the same Bread, cheese, sausages, etc, etc,
Toto I've got a feeling we're not in Britain anymore.

Wegmans, do a really nice Italian loaf, that's pretty close to what we're used to and it's lovely. It's about $6 a loaf though.

Local bakery, is fantastic, but loaves there are $6-8...which with a couple of young kids, eating 2-3 loaves a week, isn't really feasible.

The own brand that Wegmans have, isn't entirely bad either and it's a couple bucks so a bit more reasonable.

Trader Joe's, does a decent, cheap loaf.

Trader Joe's, used to have it but they stopped.

For folks in the Boston area, there's a Brit cheese shop that imports it. My local cheese shop in town also gets it now and again.

It's eye wateringly expensive at about $20 a pound though.

There is "normal" bread widely available in the US with very low/no sugar, and which certainly does not taste sweet - you just need to look at the ingredients. A "low carb" loaf is a good place to start looking.

IME the semi-premium ($4-$6) loafs are often no better (not less sweet) than the more basic loaves, so it's all about checking the ingredients no matter what loaf you buy.

Our local Fresh Market had it (prepackaged) on their cheese counter once, along with Cheshire and Lancashire. We bought all they had; 6 packs of each, but they never stocked it again.


I'm heading to Boston next month, where is this cheese shop you speak of?

We got cheese.
