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.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
