chorleywood process bread like rubber Explanation: They are poking fun and saying that bread made wih this process is like rubber. It is a rapid industrial process to make bread. The high degree of mechanical mixing involves produces a texture that some people liken to rubber. this explains what the Chorleywood bread making process is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process BBC News - Chorleywood: The bread that changed Britain www.bbc.com/news/magazine-13670278 Jun 7, 2011 - ... in France. But is the long life, plastic wrapped, sandwich loaf that was first created in Chorleywood a design classic or a crime against bread? |

chorleywood process Chorleywood process Explanation: I'm sure this can be found on Google quite easily. It's the nasty industrial bread-making process that gave us Mother's Pride and Wonderloaf. The writer is saying that bread made by the Chorleywood process is like rubber, which could account for rubber being found in the bread bin. Chorleywood is the place where the factory was located that first used this way of making pseudo-bread. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2014-12-04 11:57:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Three answers in two minutes probably testifies to how much some of us loathe the horrid excuse-for-bread we were brought up on. Could even account for us now living in countries where good bread is just normal. |

chorleywood process The Chorleywood bread process Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process I'm sure this tells you almost everything about it. The joke with the pieces of rubber in the breadbin refers to the kind of bread made with this process. Slices of bread made by this process (white toast or sandwich bread) are generally considered to be rather rubbery in texture. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2014-12-04 11:50:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Finished too soon: ...rather rubbery in texture and consistency. Sad and soggy would be my description of it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2014-12-04 12:09:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I must admit that I have got on very well without this excuse for bread in the 30 years I have been in Germany :-) Nevertheless, the general opinion here that all UK bread is like this should be corrected. There are some very good bakers back home (speaking for Yorkshire!). |
