Where do you get the Polish Rye bread from? I bought a huge round loaf of sliced Greek bread with sesame seeds on toptoday from Sophocles bakery today. They also had lots of Greek Easter pastries in. It is their Easter tomorrow.

Hi Cate - I got mine from Morrisons Peckham. It cost about ?1.20. I'm really fussy about good quality bread and this is amazing!

Bought a loaf of spelt bread in Blackbird bakery in Grove Vale. ?3.50 but it's absolutely delicious. I hope it keeps. Staff friendly, and looked like a nice range of quiches and sarnies too. I think I might be converted away from supermarket bread...

I bought some excellent bread from Blackbird Bakery but have to say that their almond croissants were amongst the most unpleasant food experiences of my life - such a shame as they looked delicious.

Blackbird is hit or miss I find. Muffins quite often dry and overcooked. very ordinary croissants. Sandwiches usually good. White baguettes are sweetish.

Earlier in the year David made some sound observations concerning quality of bread and how to avoid the soft pap that is served up with no flavour, no texture and lots of intestinal grief.

Recommend that you seek out All Natural Bakery breads - the best spelt and rye naturally leavened sourdough offerings that I have yet found outside of Germany and France

Their range includes light rye, dark rye, wholemeal rye, white spelt, kamut (a lovely creamy coloured bread derived from ancient grain found in Egypt) as well as some seeded varieties and gluten-free which is the tops for those who suffer from Coeliac's but want to have normal tasty bread

They should be encouraged to come South of the river - currently nearest seems to be Belgravia - similar classy place to ED

As to price - let those who have strangled intestines continue to buy from Greggs and leave us to enjoy the best of breads at ?3.00 to ?4.00 for a decent 800gm loaf that stays fresh for 6 days and provides a meal with one slice instead of leaving you craving more after one loaf of the other stuff filled with enzymes not listed on the ingredients - see Real Bread

If you haven't tried the low GI loaf sold by Ayres it's worth the trip to Nunhead to get one. Lovely and chewy. Vince, can you say what is in it?

[vinceayre]

This bread contains pumpkin seeds, linseed and sunflower seeds, wheat bran, oat flakes, wheat flour and rye flour for that extra bite to this darker style of bread with a coarser open texture. It is officially classed as LOW GI which in simple terms keeps you fuller for longer by keeping your blood Glycemic Index low.
