    Sourdough is a yeast bread.

    If you mean that there is a combination of yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria in sourdough, that is technically correct. But sourdough is definitely not a yeast bread (bread made solely with yeast)

    I'll take the mass-produced sourdough over anything cuisine-de-france/ala-tesco any day!

    Brother. I've been buying the pumpkin seed & rye sourdough every week for about a year now and still haven't got sick of it.

    It keeps for ages - or would if it wasn't so gorgeous.

    It's fantastic with hard cheese or ham (Lidl Glensallagh carved ham is great, by the way).

    Also, toasted with butter and honey. Yum, yum.

    Think I'll have a slice now!

    Local Lidl hasnt had pretzels for a few weeks now and the price sign is gone from the display area also. Does anyone know if they've stopped selling them all over or just my local?

    They did seem to be selling well so dont know why they're gone

    Why can't lidl cover the bakery items? Thats the only thing stopping me purchasing them. All sorts of bacteria is being thrown into the air in the shops without any protection for the bakery items.
    in other countries they do so i dont know why they dont here
    these ones its ony possible to take one at a time too, so no mauling and no flies.

    Don't get the buzz around the Lidl bread at all, it's the weight of a brick and doesn't have a nice crust. I think we need more proper bakeries where bread is baked fresh daily not mass produced from a premix with a load of crap in it to swell the bread.

    Doesn't really bother me re the packaging I think theres enough packaging on everything as it is, nice to see a proper bread display. Paris Bakery and the Green Door bakery do proper continental and Irish breads, well worth the trip to either although the Paris bakery can be pricey.

    I contacted their customer services department and they said they would pass it onto the sales department but dont know if it will be passed on or looked at.

    Have tried a couple of lidl breads and have been unimpressed. Their apple turnovers are mank. What lidl do you guys go to?

    Doesn't really matter though, I haven't been able to get the image of that oul wan out of my head since I read that post, it's haunted every post in this thread since. Gross.

    Has anybody had any confirmation that the Pretzels are gone?

    Them and the pumpkin seed loaf / rolls were our favourite.

    Going in just for Pretzels always lead us to buy other items. One less reason for us to go elsewhere.

    C'mon Lidl, reverse your decision and bring back the Pretzels

    I don't think they have the same selection down here as there is in Dublin. I love the cheese twists. You could only eat one but they're lovely. Scones are alright, pretty cheap though. Havent tried anything else.

    We have gotten danish pastries, croissants, apple turnovers from there before and they were very nice but today was in there with my mum and there was a man and his children at the bakery and one of the kids just picked up a loaf of bread in his hands for a few seconds and then threw it back in the basket :eek: That kinda makes you think - how many people actually do that on a daily basis and what are you buying when you pick something up from there.

    I think really the produce should be behind a glass counter and someone should be manning it so that there is no man handling of the food.

    Yeah, some places wrap them up. Tesco put donuts in bags or in clear containers sealed with the price label. Keeps them fresh too. If they do use bags its often the ones with millions of tiny holes. I always put bread in second bags when I get home, the holes just let air in and it goes stale quicker. I think they use these bags so they can wrap it while hot and it doesn't sweat in the bag.

    Reminds me once I saw a kid out with his mother in Tesco checking the freshness of the bread by stomping on it.

    Mustn't have been up to it as his mother picked up a different loaf.
