baka kaba posted:They go to little English colonies in hot countries where everything's covered in union jacks. Same with expats, a lot of them move to a "community" where their entire social circle can be other British people (and english-speaking expats from other countries if they're feeling adventurous) In the progressive and inclusive internationalist spirit of diversity and multiculturalism I would like the thread to join me in celebrating these British communities maintaining their minority ethnic culture against an oppressive assimilationist metropole. EDIT: tubby pupper no bully plz

Miftan posted:Anything other than the store's own brand bread is borgoueise excess, except for M&S in which case even own brand is borgoueise excess. M&S bread is totally bourgeois excess. On the other hand, the stone baked pavé is absolutely gorgeous. I'm willing to accept my place against the wall for that, good bread is worth it.

I would also venture the opinion that spending a bit extra on nice bread is fine as it can substitute for other treats and works out cheaper that way. Good bread is one of life's best things.

Fresh bread is delicious, especially Co-op/Morrisons/M&S fresh bread, and anyone who goes back to eating standard packaged Hovis after that is a disgrace.

Guavanaut posted:The Co-Op does some good baked breads and even fancy ones with peppers and stuff. And (for the Central England Co-operative at least) it's owned and democratically controlled by its members. And as someone mentioned earlier if you go in just before closing you can get those breads cheap if there's any left. We don't have one nearby, alas. Also while discount food is nice, discount bread is usually stale and not very nice. I usually go to Morrisons for bread.

The point they sell it off cheap at, it's fine for supper and the next day's breakfast and probably dinner too. It's 'we can't sell this as freshly baked bread tomorrow' bread, not 'we can't in good conscience sell this tomorrow' bread.

Iceland actually does a really nice packaged sliced crusty loaf that is perfect for making toast. But aye, I can't resist a good fresh loaf.

Bread is awesome, but it's too high in calories and goes bad too fast to be able to eat it at a reasonable pace as a single person. The M&S fresh farmhouse white is lovely though, and at £1 I'd say it's a bargain.

Private Speech posted:Well the definition GBS expats who hate being called immigrants usually advance is that expats are from more 'desirable' countries than the ones they are moving to. I always figured that immigrants were people who moved to another country permanently with a view toward becoming citizens, and expats were people living in another country temporarily. "Migrant worker' seems to be the downgraded version of expat used for people from poor countries.

You can eat it, but if I want edible bread I'd just get a normal loaf. Unfortunately you need to have the hole punched wrap to allow the heat of a fresh loaf to dissipate properly and the for the bread to get the perfect texture as quickly as possible without going soggy in the morning. Properly paper wrapped bread is better for both maintaining the texture and allowing it not to go too hard, but few places do this any more. Fresh bread is pretty terribly stored in supermarkets though.

Whoever's gran didn't like people speaking foreign because she didn't know what they were saying was right to worry, talking rudely about people in a language they don't understand is one of the perks of being multilingual. Of course everyone is talking about her behind her back in English too.

The Labour policy blitz continues - plans to increase the carers allowance by £10 a week, funded by reversing cuts to inheritance tax. Meanwhile the MP in charge of drowning out positive announcements this week is Neil Coyle, who has been reported to the Chief Whip for apparently repeatedly abusing party staff, and has decided to loudly defend himself in the media.
