Can you rise to the challenge?


This year, our very own Alan Dale, The Camberwell Curmudgeon, will be judging entries for the coveted award of Best Home-Made Loaf 2008.


Entries must be photographed on top of your machine for the purposes of scale.


So.. without further adough, weighing-in at 400g.. here is my entry.

Your statutory rights are not affected. The management reserves the right to change the rules or lose interest at any point. Smart casual dress only please. The top of your loaf could go down as well as up. Alan Dale? is a trademark.

Well excuse me, but this bake-off is being judged by Alan Dale, master baker extraordinaire - not the hoi polloi.


No doubt he has noted the sunken, wrinkly appearance of Asset's brick and compared and contrasted with my 'small footprint, high-rise' light and fluffy number. Indeed, it rose so high it almost popped the lid of the bread machine.


No doubt the competition will hot-up over the weekend. Maybe.

I was seriously considering buying a Panasonic WX255-GTI after reading about bread making on a previous thread. After seeing the efforts above, which bear no resemblance to a proper Louisa style Kingsmill or Sunblest loaf, I don't think I will.


Why Alan *Bob*? How often does he Master Bake?



Reading between the lines I suspect you really mean that you're feeling pretty blown away by the high quality Uncle Fred on show versus your WI offering.


Besides, as you stated earlier only Alan the Master Baker can be the true judge.


Here's my latest effort. A gluten free organic, multi-grain granary.

    • Surely that depends on the amount.  It can be quite piffling.  
    • Apparently a tourist tax was Raynor's idea, but Reeves has put the kibosh on it because of the push-back she'll get from businesses
    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
