Is This The Ideal Bread For A Lone Coeliac?

Yesterday, in Marks and Spencer, they had sold out of my usual bread, so I bought a pack of Brown Bloomer Slices.

There are six or so slices in the pack, which costs £3.15, and it is pretty good either fresh or as toast, as the pictures show.

I hope you don’t get the impression that I live on toast and jam, but I am partial to a cup of tea and toast in the afternoon, if I’m at home.

These slices are ideal for me, as they are good untoasted and cut in half they fit my toaster. The toast isn’t bad either!

This loaf would be good, if you’re having a coeliac friend staying for a couple of nights or just coming round for a meal, as the way it’s packed it will keep for a day or two.

But for my purposes of a coeliac living alone, it does everything I need and as a loaf seems to last about three days, that means it probably costs me around a pound a day or fifty pence a slice. As my daily State Pension is around twenty pounds a day, I think I can afford it.

One problem is that as the bread has no crusts, which might cause friction in some families.

I wonder how many cafes and restaurants will start using this bread, as it seems to be in most Marks and Spencer’s stores, except possibly those in stations. The pack size would satisfy a couple of patrons on perhaps two days.

Marks and Spencer have either designed the product and pack size very carefully or they’ve just struck lucky.

I don’t care as the product is excellent.
