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.

    • If they have run out, is there a turf war occurring? 
    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
