OT - Totally. Bread from supermarket bakery. Tiger Bread
Any fans of "Tiger Bread"?
If so, please take a look at the label - does it claim to contain Sesame Oil? Reason - I used to really like Tiger Bread - but recently it seems to taste the same as any other. Sainsbury's does not claim theirs contains sesame oil - but I am sure it used to. |

Haven't got a label handy. But Tesco's Tiger Bread takes markedly better than that from Asda. I just finished off the loaf, much to SWTSMBO's annoyance! -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by http://www.diybanter.com |

It's painted with sesame paste before proving. Ask the bakers - they'll tell you exactly what's in it. It works well at home but tends to flatten my bread a bit for some reason. Flour not strong enough probably. Si |

Any fans of "Tiger Bread"? I appreciate that this is OT your OT but... ....Warrens Tiger Bread - St Just and Penzance and they've opened up in several other locations in recent years. Just have to taste any tiger bread and there's a residual memory of cheese and tomato tiger bread baps eaten on the beach or outside the tent with the kids. Warrens: http://www.warrensbakery.co.uk/ If so, please take a look at the label - does it claim to contain Sesame Oil? Asda says: "Tiger bread has sesame oil as an unusual ingredient which adds to its taste and gives it a wonderful aroma. It has a stripy appearance which is created by a pattern being painted with rice paste onto the surface of the bread prior to baking. The paste dries and cracks during the baking process, creating a two-colour effect similar to a tiger; hence the name." Searches seem to suggest - very unscientifically - that Tesco's tiger bread is preferred to Sainsbury's. All you've got to do now, as a Sainsbury's customer, is to work out which would be the more embarrassing: risking being seen going to Asda or to Tesco's And thanks for the quick flashback to Gwenver beach. -- PeterMcC If you feel that any of the above is incorrect, inappropriate or offensive in any way, please ignore it and accept my apologies. |
