Bloomers

[Vagus]

Just back from M&S food with, amongst other things, a large soft white bloomer which will be used later to make egg sandwiches. Couldn’t resist cutting the end off though, smearing it with salty jersey butter and eating it, such lovely bread.
Egg sandwiches will be followed by M&S best ever gigantic chocolate eclair, and preceded by a couple of G&Ts. Yum.

Dave is shopping. After reading that I hope he brings home some lovely bread. Love salty butter. We made some at an event a few weeks ago and it was delicious.

Patsy :)
I like butter with crunchy bits of sea salt gness, it’s something I don’t deprive myself of..fancy butter, I’d rather go without if I can’t get hold of any.
We once made butter in a test tube at school, I remember using the cream from the top of the little bottles of milk and shaking the test tube for ages. You’ve just reminded me of that :)

Only had home churned butter as a child in Ireland. What we made at the event brought back memories. My arms would ache from the churn but now you can get electric churns. :-)

Cut another piece off .
Toast it with some butter on , then put some of your favourite jam on .

Have it with a glass of ginger beer

Oooh, egg sandwiches on lovely soft white bread and a chocolate eclair.........where do you live?

[Stableford]

The choc éclair from M&S a great choice, and the bloomer bread too- I could sit and eat a bloomer with no additions; if I had to some St Agur would go nicely along with a glass of Cabernet.....

I got a Bloomer as a substitution from Iceland and then tried their Malted Bloomer. I have now discovered Morrison's malted Bloomer. It is yummy.

My Auntie Wilma used to wear knee length bloomers in the 70s.

When I costumed Blitz, Wolfie I used quite a few knee length pink bloomers.

I'm a bit puzzled. A white bloomer is a factory-made lump of white dough baked in an oval shape instead of being baked in a rectangular tin. Is it the shape that appeals? You all sound as if you've never eaten unsliced white bread before. For me, I'd choose a bloomer over a tin loaf because of the larger expanse of crust. But it's not a patch on real bread such as you buy in a French boulangerie, where all bread is kneaded, shaped, proved and baked on the premises every day for immediate consumption.

Unfortunately, a boulangerie would be hard to find here. I suspect many of those mentioned come from in-store bakeries. M and S do lovely sourdough.

What an odd thing to say, Atheist. Of course we've had unsliced bread before. We still bake Irish soda bread over an open fire...slice it as we want to eat it.
This OP was just an old days AB post for a bit of chat about bread, salty butter and knickers....and a nice thread it was too.

[seekeerz]

I wonder which came first ….the scrumptious white bread or the voluminous pink knickers ?? Personally I don’t see a connection but then …..!!

[gness]

Hi, Seek, nice to see you. I'm sure there is a connection between scrumptious white bread and voluminous pink knickers. Just give me a day or two.... :-)

[wolf63]

Something to do with yeast gness?

[gness]

Trust you, Wolfie!! :-))

[sunny-dave]

Well that's gness's Christmas Present sorted then ...

I was hoping that was going to be a crusty, white bloomer, Dave. :-(
