I know there are a few artisan bakers on here but this loaf for £1.80 is not too bad with good butter

Bless you.

Sounds *interesting*

I love that stuff! Which is why I can’t buy it too often, because I could probably do most of a loaf in one sitting…

Bless you. Fruit in bread or cheese is sacrilege. Discuss.

Motion for the defence:

Fruit improves bread. The more fruit you add, the better it gets, until you end up at the pinnacle: a fruitcake.

I see your fruitcake and raise you the hot cross bun.

Also a very fine fruit/bread hybrid.

I bet eyestwice is considering the error of his ways now…

The pinnacle of fruity breadyness is Dundee Cake !

I see your fruitcake and raise you the hot cross bun.

I see your hot cross bun and raise you the Selkirk Bannock.

Amen brother. The closest fruit should get to bread and cheese is the apple that comes with your ploughman’s.

Fruit in cake though, well that’s obviously to be encouraged.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the Bara Brith

the pinnacle of fruity breadiness.

Was just about to post about Bara Brith Welsh Farmer, probably my favourite type of fruit cake.

You know that there is still bread and cheese without fruit in, on sale in shops!

Its a wonderful world we live in where people come up with new ideas and make them available for all to purchase, but the original stuff stays available as well, so the narrow minded among us can also be ‘happy’.

Pfft. Its also a wonderful world where you have the freedom to try a multitude of the various abominable combinations of fruit with cheese or bread and come to the right and proper conclusion that you are unlikely to find a situation where the mixing improves on the underlying base. Vive la difference!

Cheese in breads is completely acceptable.

Fruit is just odd. Get a cake.

Fruit and nut in a loaf. Get out.

mmmm, Dundee Cake.

Whilst not a massive fruit cheese fan, our new Wensleydale and Pineapple has been selling like mad, it’s bonkers and our biggest selling additive cheese is our Charcoal Briquette! Madness!

I have the same bread, absolutely lovely, could easily eat a whole loaf in one evening.

I have it with either beurre d`isigny or goatsbutter

I’m glad that nobody has mentioned the weird practice of putting a slice of cheese on a fruit cake, or a Xmas cake.

it’s an abomination !!

Get out. You are clearly not from God’s Own Country.

I also like strawberry jam and cheese on toast.

Mmmm, fruit soda bread was a childhood treat on our house. Barmbrack remains a top choice as well.
