Quite an emotional juncture after so many dry barren years.

Good News.

I have found in Co-op a sliced loaf that is usable in a ....wait for it ... a toaster.

It's called Backerland Sandwich (made in Austria).

This bread / loaf is a monumental breakthrough in (German) Switzerland because it's not brittle once toasted.

Some trainee student placement idiot must've allowed / accidentally ordered a consignment of 'Toast bread' (previously an oxymoron) that does not end up like a Sahara sandwich.

Halleluiah!!

Enjoy.
I'm off back to the toaster (with the Ultravox song it my head "Toasting, With Tears in My Eyes"),
Higgy Baby

Forgive me for asking... but what is so special about this bread?

In Migros we have been buying toastable sliced bread for years, whole
wheat and white.

Last nights drunken poster?

I had been thinking about posting as well, because my husband showed a similar reaction when presented with this type of bread...
It apparently passes as "proper English bread"! I wouldn't know, though, I'm German and to me it is just squishy toast bread

In my household we are also enjoying it since about a week now. Huge difference in deed.

Me too. You can get loads of it. Migros, Coop, the petrol station, anywhere that isnt a bakery. CHF 2.20 for a loaf of the vollkorn version. 1.85 for the normal stuff from Coop. I know as I buy it week in week out. It's not exactly hidden away somewhere. Do you live up a mountain by any chance?

So have I.
I've tried all these, English toast, American toast, Burre toast bread, Sandwich toast loaves from Migros, Co-op and other places.

If you want properly toasted / medium brown toast this stuff still retains some moisture and is still soft rather than attaining a 'bakelite' type quality

This is the first one where the bread in the packet is moist (not air dried) and also the size of each slice is similar to a British loaf (ie surface is almost twice as big).

Give it a try next time you're in Co-op and you'll see what I mean. Only available in white I think.

My Swiss Holy Grail has been found. What shall I do with the rest of my life now my quest is over ?
Heinz Spaghetti methinks.

I think his point is you could do many things with the "toastable sliced
bread" sold here.

Until now, the one thing that was not possible was to make proper
toast from it...

I appreciate your sentiment but quite clearly you're nuts.

Anyhoo, try slicing a Parabrot, toasting and adding a topping of choice (mine's Marmite). It's like being born again.

This Backerland Sandwich is a whole different animal. Check out my previous post to Scott. It's gooooood stuff.

Apparently, the heat-protective tiles on the Space Shuttles
were a slight development of "toast bread"
.

Over here they also do the brown version.

Seein' it's you, higgy babes, I'll bring you some some unsalted butter and
mature cheddar from home at the weekend. Your orgasmic experience
will then be complete

As you suggested, I sat down to read your post and now can't get up any more. Please come and help

Can I have the two minutes of my life back that it took to read through this?

have you seen thi

Nope, you'll just have to learn to read faster in future





Or not log on to EF.

Cheers WJ,
For the zenith of British Cuisine I also need Heinz Spaghetti ... on cheddar on toast. The bread and cheddar I can now get at Co-op.

Let's face it, decent bread doesn't need toasting. Actually toasting is a means for making that slightly moist cotton-like pre-sliced, plastic-wrapped stuff called bread in certain countries at least somewhat palatable.

oh my my! am soooo excited to hear of this. yes, i know that they sell "toast" bread in the Migros and Coop but it is not the squishy texture that I am used to. Though I must say that there is a wheat bread at the denner that is ok.

thanks for the tip! I am heading out to the coop to try to find this!
