Im still waiting for Coop to sell the English split muffins for toasting and crumpets that you slather butter and it melts lovingly through the holes

Denner do an Austrian wholemeal, called Övo or something (definitely three-letters, one with an umlaut), that makes very decent toast.

But it's got a smaller cross-section than your standard British loaf.

For some reason, I can't stop wondering about how many people read this forum standing up.

"Born Again"? Aha, now I get it. I'll try to lighten up in future. I do apologise if you felt I was being rude. I'm sorry if I misunderstood finding toast was not a real problem worthy of bandwidth. But quite clearly, it's me who's nuts. And there's really nothing wrong with alternative suggestions, but I best get my coat now...

This is actually indeed the same white sliced I posted about several, several months ago and yes it is very much like the english white stodgy sliced bread that's great for a bacon sarnie - it even made us feel ill like english bread does.

It is interesting as we pretty much gave up bread about 18 months ago and when we go back to the UK and eat white sliced we get stomach pains - the swiss bread doesn't do this to us but this backerland stuff really must be full of the same crap as the bread back home - having said that I might just at times stomach the stomach pains for a nice bacon buttie on stodgy white sliced

Since reading this thread, I went off to the coop and bought the bread in both white and brown. It is the closest (for sure) to our sliced bread at home in the uk. We do have some very lovely sliced loaves at home in wholemeal, granary etc. Some of the sliced bread here is just awful, even though they name it american toast yuck!
I will only be buying this for toasting in future and, yes, fab for bacon butties and good old fried bread so hopefully will enable coop to keep stocking it.

German bread and rolls are delicious but hard as nails the following day.

Thankyou for this recommendation, keep them coming please

I discovered crumpet a long time ago, costs an absolute fortune, but probably worth while in the long run !

mmmmm, im off the the coop first thing in the morning!!! Thanks for sharing

Eeek!! Dont say that..
Thanks for this post, bought some this weekend and can confirm:
This Bakerland stuff is indeed manna from heaven for those who dislike the standard 3daysinthesun bread

Try it ye all..

The fancy sliced organic breads from Coop have always toasted well for me.

Enjoyed some with some Heinz baked beans (Canadian variety) the other day.

Higgy Baby,

I haven't worked out how to thank some one for a post so I'll do it this way instead. This bread is great - I'd totally given up on the sliced breads in Coop masquerading as toast bread, having tried just about all of them. Admittedly it's not quite the lovely granary sliced bread you can buy in Sainsburys that I fill my case with every time I return from the UK, but it comes pretty close. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I thought we are in the best country to have best bread in your local bakery. I cant seem to understand why are we buying bread at coop or at migros. Especially since the bread at local bakery (atleast the one i go to) has the best bread in the world at almost the same price.

Aha, but you are in Nyon so must have the French influence! I have yet to find a Swiss German bakery that does really good bread!

Congrats, higgy. I had actually given up hope and am currently baking and slicing my own bread.
