    Its not the toaster, its the same under the grill ..and every other brand / type of bread is fine other than Brennans white bread.Its a horrible sweet cheesy smell that lingers.
    I used to love it, but its gone to dirt. Much like Cadburys, Kelloggs and most other popular brands in recent years.



    Nearly all processed breads are now made with ever increasing amounts of soya and palm oil. And the soya is where the distinctive smell comes from imo.

    Ingredients brennan's white pan
    Wheat Flour (Wheat, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Thiamin, Niacin), Water, Yeast, Salt, Vegetable Oil (Rapeseed), Soya Flour, Emulsifier: E472e, Flour Treatment Agent: Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Vegetable Fat (Palm)

    Same with a lot of other processed foods ...

    Ham sandwiches are lovely but you need a light smearing of brown sauce on it. Not that HP ****e, chef brown sauce.

    I got some very nice brioche burger buns in Aldi's the other day (Tesco's and Lidl's probably have similar, I don't know). Lovely with a package of King crips and a tick layer of butter.

    Got really into BLTs lately. Was never much of a fan before due to the number of sh1tty shop bought ones I'd had, but made one myself the other day which was gorgeous. Nice thick white bread, decent bacon, tiny bit of mayo....it was amazing.

    Fresh brennans white bread,

    That can be a bit of a problem. Brennans - Yesterdays bread tomorrow.

    Always, always make sure you muck up the Brennans display as much as you possibly can, as they try and con you by constantly putting their stale bread, that has a 1 or 2 day expiry date at the front of the shelf, rather than the fresh stuff hidden away at the very back, which has a 6 day shelf life left.

    Also buying it on a Sunday or Monday means that you're guaranteed to be getting stale bread.

    With BLTs though, the lack of cheese troubles me.

    So like the rebel that I am, I have a BLTC.

    Salty and hot roasted chicken pieces, cheese, thinly sliced onion, real butter, garlic mayo and lumpy / moist stuffing, (potentially sausage stuffing).
    Not too fussed about the bread once it's not (a) too floury or (b) too thick or crispy to eat comfortably.

    Freshest of white bread. Good ham, cheese and real butter.

    Next best is chicken and stuffing.

    I also really like french baguette cream cheese and something like seranno or prosciutto ham.

    Hmmm, difficult

    OK

    Open sandwich on turnover bread, real butter, proper ham from the butchers, bit of cheddar, few scallions, some coleslaw, package a king emptied on to the plate next to sambo

    That'll do

    thick cut white bread
    1 or 2 potato waffle's (grilled or toasted - should be crispy)
    Real Butter
    Maple bacon x 3
    Cheese (Melted or non-melted)
    sauce is optional - I find the melted butter is more than enough

    Mug of tea and a quick 20 min snooze after.

    Tuna mixed with mayo and sweetcorn, topped with coleslaw, on multigrain bread is another good sandwich.

    Or there is a very nice sandwich I indulge in occasionally from a certain shop - chargrilled chicken with lemon & basil mayo, roasted tomatoes & rocket on ciabatta. It's delicious.

    Christmas dinner leftover sambo - put whatever you want in it - mayo, turkey, ham, cranberry, gravy, mash, veg - even the sauteed sprouts!! But fresh baked home made bread, you know, the kind with 4 or 5 ingredients only. Best sandwich in the world.

    Can't agree with people who go for the softest bread.

    If the sandwich requires any kind of grip at all, you need something with a bit of body and spring, not something that sinks under the pressure and becomes a thin doughy strip.

    I have so many...

    Red cheddar cheese, thinly sliced tomato & onion, with a little salad cream.

    Prawn cocktail.

    Ham with nothing else whatsoever.

    All on white bread.

    At my daughter's suggestion I recently tried pepperoni with cheese and tomato, and some mayonnaise. Very nice.

    You can't go wrong with a nice BLT. Fresh bread, lashings of mayo, fresh lettuce and tomato and some nicely grilled bacon.
