You know some stores discount their stock with little yellow stickers (in the case of Sainsbury's) Well, in our household these used to be called "Nanny's Signature" - because she could never resist them, as her groaning freezer would attest to. So. I think she'd approve of this...  Brioche's by the way. Always surprises me they stock so many Brioche type things - especially up here in the Frozen North where Franceland is another World away! |

Not a bad discount! The only way to find it going for less would be by searching through the bins. If only brioche was nice, then it would be perfect.  I hope you spent the saved money on something respectable, like a bet on a horse. |

Brioche always seems to taste stale even when it isn't. I do buy reduced stuff, but not bread of any kind.

Hi Housey!  I always have stale bread in my house, if you ever need any, I will give it to you for free. I was trying to find a funny bread item to share with the group so I googled 'bread funny' and got 30O search results and not one of them included any mention of this, so it can't have been funny, I suspected as much at the time:  ...which makes 74 episodes over 5 years a complete waste of licence fee payers' money! |

The Waltons?
It's a funny thing about this board, but when I do pop in someone is talking about food.

I Food be the music of love? Then we'd all be a lot messier!
Brioche is one of those things, like Madeleines that we just can't do. Pop over to France (and yes - I will be getting back to you on that one Trubbs) and you can buy half a bin bag of Madeleines for about 50c! What do we get over here? 6 if you're lucky - and like British Brioches AND Bagels! they are the equivalent of various different varieties of FOAM RUBBER!!!
I mean! How hard can they be to make!!!!!!
Bagels. Now there's entirely different kettle of bread type fish.
Actually, I kind of know this - as I've used a Madeleine recipe myself. Sad to say, because my oven is rubbish - they weren't fabulous either. Oh yes, better than shop bought, just rubbish.
My oven is a Neff. A left over from the previous occupier. It is also - what Professor Yaffle of Bagpuss Fame would choose.
"Neff neffneffneffneff"
Yes?
They are (I heard a rumour) supposed to be quality items!
The first time I ran a J Cloth across my "Quality Neff Oven" All the numbers on the buttons came off on the cloth!!!

Jack is fond of cookery programmes but when I showed him that he sniffed and reminded me who would be spending all afternoon cooking my supper.
Actually it isn't yet done so we had left over spag. bol.

Cottage Pie tonight. Leftover from last night. In these days of Austerity we try and have a "Two Nighter" twice a week if we can.
