I didn’t get it as, as you can tell from post #8 I’ve only just learned how to spell ‘pain’Oi, I made the ‘pain’ joke already. But mine was clearly so subtle no one’s getting it. Post #6

The best before dates for Warburtons (and Hovis) have actually increased since Covid - used to be 4 days, now it is 5 (Hovis is 6). I'm afraid that this is one of the perils of online deliveries - there will be loads of bread with long dates in the shop warehouse but the pickers will ignore them as it is too much like hard work to find the right bread without being shown exactly where it is using their pick sticks.Why is it that all loaves of regular sliced bread (we get Warburtons) are so short date nowadays?
On delivery from any of the supermarkets, it’s usually next day best before, and green within 4-5 days. I don’t remember this being the case in the past… Now I keep it in the freezer and just defrost as needed.
It’s kept where it’s always been kept (cool dark, dry place in kitchen)
You should have asked for extra yeast - you could have risen above it and had petit pain instead.I had some running shoes made of artisan baguette once but I had to get rid of them as my feet were in tremendous pain.
Personally speaking, the reason is that I don't have the self control not eat the whole damn loaf as soon as its ready.Honestly don’t understand why more people don’t make their own. Loads of recipes that don’t require kneading so 5 minutes 1 day mixing ingredients. 5 minutes next day to whack it in the oven. 40 minutes later it’s done. Saves a fortune and means you don’t have to eat the processed crap that passes for bread in shops.
If they didn’t have short dates we would end up with a Bread Mountain (like the people of Addison County, Vermont, Yankee Doodle).Why is it that all loaves of regular sliced bread (we get Warburtons) are so short date nowadays?

I always assume Kingsmill is full of preservatives and other crap. Could be wrong.Kingsmill from Farmfoods usually have a week or so sell-by date, and Tesco own brand super seeded usually has 4 or 5 days if you look at the back of the shelf.
can you prove it?That’ll be a pain in the ass….
Probably is. But I like bread like that.I always assume Kingsmill is full of preservatives and other crap. Could be wrong.
If you make the bread yourself it will last longer.Why is it that all loaves of regular sliced bread (we get Warburtons) are so short date nowadays?

Brighton supermarkets aren't very good when it comes to long life bread. Hovis though.
Will it though? I thought most of the crap that went into the mass-produced stuff was to make it last a bit longer.If you make the bread yourself it will last longer.
If you need some help.....I'd be happy to make it with you.
Trust me, it's Manna. A loaf will cheer up any Dismal Day.Will it though? I thought most of the crap that went into the mass-produced stuff was to make it last a bit longer.
