    Don't forget though

    This isn't any ordinary strawberry jam. it's double fruit, extra strawberry, naturally sweet M&S strawberry jam.......................(can't quite convey the nauseating, psuedo seductive voice, some how)

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    You beat me, I was so going to do that:p

    Because to eat it as bread after it's frozen tastes disgusting.

    Is it the flavour or the fact that it dries out as it defrosts that you don't like?

    If you defrost it in a sealed plastic bag it re-absorbs the moisture as it defrosts and taste & texture are fine.

    (It can 'go off ' (freezer burn) if it touches the inside wall of the freezer, so keep it positioned in the centre). ;)

    I blaim Nigel Ponsonby Smallpiece the Owner of the Jam Butty mines and its subsequent closure due to his poor investing in hedge funds. M&S have seized the opportunity selling the liquidised stock.

    As the economy slumps in Brown's busted Britain, what's the next depression indicator? Fish-paste sandwiches next?

    I love fish paste sandwiches and have them with salad about twice a week .

    Got me thinking, i do love a nice fresh fluffy white bread cheese sarnie but there is something wonderful about a cheese sarnie thats been sat in a bag for hours going sweaty, oooooh yummy!! doesnt work with other fillings though, they either make the bread soggy or you get food poisoning.

    Not just me then I will make a cheese sandwich and leave it out all night take it to work and by midday it is lovely a soggy my favorite.

    How busy we have become? :confused: Or how unable to plan ahead; or how lazy?

    What a load of rot! Some of us live alone, and don't want to buy a loaf of bread each day - 90% of it would go in the bin. They always go off a day after they've been opened (only good for toasting), so I'd rather go to Tesco on my way into work and buy a fresh £1 sarnie - done this for 5+ years now...

    ...the knack is to get the newest sarnies at the back as the bread is lovely and fresh (best before 2 days ahead, if it's only 1 day the bread is stale round the edges. urgh)

    I'm guessing you haven't bought a loaf of bread for a few years. The shelf life of bread has come on considerably during that time. A simple loaf of white or wholemeal bread will now last for at least 5 or 6 days. I've no idea how they make it seem fresh that long, but I've decided not to care :)
