Thanks to Peter Kay, everyone knows that the HobNob* is the marine of the biscuit dunking world.
What people may not realise, is that Tesco’s Finest Rustic Multigrain Sliced Bread, is the armour plated tank of the toast world. No matter how long you leave it in the toaster, it will not turn into toast. It doesn’t so much as go a darker shade of brown. It just sits there resolutely, until you give in and accept that it’ll stay in bread form forever. It doesn’t go crispy or even taste like toast, it just gets really hard and solid.
If that wasn’t bad enough, when the toaster pops and the none toast springs up, it fires off some of its little seed things into the toaster element, which causes your toaster to spark and crackle. This is a bread not to be messed with.

Nothing beats Warburtons bread
Also, I discovered recently that Summerfield (just opened near us) makes really nice wholemeal bread with sunflower seeds and that tastes sooo good toasted :o)

I was looking for a reference to it for my own blog (http://coppercounter.blogspot.com/) and came across your spurious comments!
Seriously though, I’ve never had a problem toasting it, although you are right about the seeds creating “mass fallout” everywhere…. but for that wonderful taste, I’ll still choose it over anything else.
Ever had Tesco’s stone baked bread? Now, that really IS worth paying for!
