What's the point in batch bread?

I hate when it's brought home over a long pan. Its not soft, the crudt is chewy, you can't butter it without it falling apart, breaks when you bend it, stuff falls out of the sandwiches, doesn't fit into the toaster properly, and when you do toast it it goes like a prawn cracker and cracks when you butter it.

Anyone prefer it over other breads?

On iPhone so can't put up a poll, maybe a admin can.

It's for the "other kind"

I only eat wholemeal or soda bread. But i do like a fried egg on toasted batch.

Thick heel of batch bread, toasted..loadsa butter. Yuuuum!

You're not telling them right.

I like my toast mid warm to cold. For the perfect slice of toast take -


- 1 slice of batch bread

- Trim slice to fit toaster or alternatively grill slice under the grill.

- Let the slice cool for 1 or 2 minutes to a reasonably cool level.

- Butter slice with butter. A knife usually achieves the best result. And that's real butter I'm talking about, not just any kind of spread.

- Make sure slice is covered evenly and there are no dry areas on bread. That's not to say the slice should be smothered in butter, but there should certainly not be any dry areas visible.

- Eat from a plate with 1 hand. The plate size should be relevant to the slice of bread.

- Slice may be cut, but only in a triangular fashion.

Batch Loaf toasted with Paté and a smatter of Cumberland Sauce...nom,nom,nom.

Batch Loaf makes the best Bread Sauce & Stuffing ever. Just a shame Spicers in Navan do not make the plain unsliced Batch anymore.

Batch loaf is the best thing since sliced bread.

As already said, batch is great for chip Sambos, toasted with melted cheese and the one nobody has mentioned yet. Dipping into a cup of bovril

Fresh batch bread with lots of butter and strawberry jam,yum yum!

Cheese and onion king or tayto on batch bread. Cup of tea.

Heaven.
