The Cheese Block

[ms_1316]

Has anyone else tried their organic bread on a Saturday morning?

Is organic synonymous with 'worlds most stale'?

[SeanMacGabhann]

heavy and dry isn't the same as stale, but I know what you mean - especially for the non-white breads (and it's nowt to do with Cheese Block I don't think - any deli I've ever been that sold organic wholewezzzzzzzz has tended to be .. dense)

[ms_1316]

This surprises me to be honest as I've never found fresh bread to be like this. I've also never thrown a loaf away before, but I tried to make toast with it and that was even worse!

Any recommendations on some really nice fresh bread that can be bought on a saturday morning to go with my bacon?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Bakers outside Moxon's have a shop opening up very soon

Bread in EDD is always good too in my exp

And Blackbird near the station are nice too

[ms_1316]

Ah, the EDD - I almost went there instead of the Cheese Block. Curse my mild obsession with their Brunost...

If you're up hte Plough end Badger bakery is good. Not fancy but they have a good selction of fresh breads in the mornings.

[Ant]

Just try getting a baked badger though. I've had no luck in four years. They must sell out really quick or something.

Edited to keep on topic: I like their bread but wonder whether someone after a loaf of organitastic deli-bread would feel underwhelmed by it.

I think Lucas' (outside Moxon) bread is great and good value.

[Moos]

Northcross Road bread stall sells great bread.

And I'm sorry to lower the tone, but Sainsbury's does a lovely multigrain loaf.

[lozzyloz]

A little bit further out I know but Provender in Forest Hill (opp old swimming pool) do great organic loaves.

It doesn't taste good unless tears of fear and pain are introduced at the kneading stage. Fact.

For making a bacon sandwich on a Saturday try one of the baguettes from Mootown - the Welsh cheese place in the Warehouse. And Cafe 2050 does nice bread 7 mornings a week too, but they quickly sell out.

Heresy!

Bacon sarnies should only ever be made with white Mother's Pride

If it must be 'bought bread', then it must be Warburtons bread. The bread that laughs in the face of other breads.

Bread. Bread. Bread.

[Sharon_H]

Yep, definitely Warburtons bread (tu)

[PeckhamRose]

J K Ayres in Nunhead.

Tho they don't do organic.

Having said that I don't go there anymore for bread since I got me one FABULOUS breadmaking machine from a lovely Forum member selling hers for cheap on these pages.

Ohhhhhhhhhh I LOVE my breadmachine.

[WickedStepmother]

Brunost?

The bizarre/amazing Norwegian cheese made with condensed milk?

They sell that at the Cheese Block?

I need to give that place a closer look.

perhaps i'm not posh enough to post on this subject, but i think the bakers opposite mootoo (you know, the one with the blue fascia) does lovely bread. It's always fresh, it lasts two or three days (and if i haven't eaten it by then the ducks in peckham rye love it) and they also do a mean hog roast weekdays! It may not be ?3 a loaf but it sets off my william rose bacon perfectly!
