Malt Loaf

[Geri]

Hmmm, think I will get some tomorrow and report back!

It's one of the few items where the supermarket versions have loads less sugar then the branded stuff.

Oooh no, got to be Soreen for maximum goo!

Oooh no, got to be Soreen for maximum goo!

Soreen does taste better, but I lived with a diabetic for three years so had to learn what to feed her.

I like soreen, I got given three soreens the other day. I eat them raw, don't even slice it. Just gnaw it like a dog.

Value malt loaf 19p in Tesco. Oh yes

I'm going to attempt my first cold tea cake,which is in the same area as malt loaf, very soon. I'm quite excited.

It's not so much the taste as the texture that makes it irresistible. It's kind of .... claggy. Sticky and gooey but slightly firmer round the edges. It taste good too, kind of rich dried fruity and treacley. I think you should get some. It's 90% fat free, but laden with sugar

10% fat is quite a lot!

Gooey lovelyness spread with butter is my description of a malt loaf.

I recall Firky was fond of a malt loaf.

(goes well with cheese as well, btw. wensleydale especially)

It is. I wasn't being entirely serious regarding its health-giving properties

 

[Divisive Cotton]

Oh jummy - only works with lots of butter

This bumped thread has just reminded me that I've got 2 Veda loaves in my freezer - Get in!

Lincolnshire Plum Bread, with thick butter slices, cheese and Marmite. There are some who miss out the Marmite, but I think it works rather well. I must get my mother's recipe before she dies. (Not that she might any time soon, but I want to make sure the recipe continues...well you know what I mean)

 

[Badgers]

Toasted?

 

[dessiato]

Toasted?

Of course! There used to be a place in Louth made the most amazing Plum Bread. I'll have to have a look next time I'm in the UK

It's only 3% fat, Soreen anyway.

I am quite liking it so far.

God it's fucking minging, I occasionally find it dumpster diving and it's one of those things I feel i should like, but it's just crap. That grotty tangy aftertaste, and its stupid texture where the sides are all smooth, it looks like it's been pressed by someone losing it down the back of the sofa and sitting on it for 2 months.

I think it's topped only by those white round shiny macaroon kinda things in the "looks nice but tastes like shit" league. Urgggg. Fruit cake all the way...
