Wud be good to know how many grams too ?

bought another pack today - no weight on the packet but it's definitely 6 crusty rolls, not a tear & share loaf.
Also bought the beetroot & apple bread; haven't tried it yet but it smells lovely.

I found the cheese and jalapeño version last week, was lovely warmed up with some HM spicy butternut squash soup. I am convinced that soup / curry makes the best meal, decent bread takes it to the next level.

Is the cranberry / walnut / Stilton one still around? If anyone has seen it lately I shall try to track it down.

I'm with you - nothing nicer than a good bowl of soup & some decent bread

Have seen the stilton, walnut & cranberry a couple of days ago and they are definitely crusty rolls rather than tear & share or a loaf of bread.

Thanks! I shall nip out now for some.

Is the cheese and jalapeno bread very spicy? As I usually find jalapeno peppers too hot but maybe the cheese makes a difference? Should I give it a try anyway?

No, I found it to have a pleasant "warming" kick to it rather than tasting hot. But then I love a good curry.

Still no luck with the cranberry etc variety. Bought some sage and onion bread instead this evening in town after the pub, wasn't at all hungry when I got back but it was really good warmed and spread with butter. Yum.

Invited a friend over for lunch and we polished off the sage and onion bread (she had most of it smothered in brie). Am unconvinced I am ever going to get my chops around the cranberry variety though.

I shall go into the New Year unfulfilled

popped into Co-op yesterday & they told me that, although it was only supposed to be a Christmas item, the beetroot & apple loaf has proved so popular, they are continuing it for a while - don;t know how long awhile is
