Now that everyone is buying Tesco Stay Fresh bread, there is never any left on the shelves by the time that we can get there.


I wish they would pull their finger out. :(


I do like their on site chemist though - it's very handy.

Why is everyone suddenly buying stay fresh bread then???? :gag: :suspect:

Pull their fingers out of where ?
They really shouldn't be handling bread at all , that's all I can say
They should at least have spot checks on all staff fingers , at any rate..

It stays fresh . . .

The bread oven.

It stays fresh because it is pumped full of chemicals and preservatives.. nice... :gag:

Jamie says that it's some new natural yeast technology that makes it stay fresh. It chemical free, unlike the other stuff.

yeast technology? my god whats going on with the world.... how can u put tech in yeast? im so confused :loopy:

and next time i see the staff there im going to check their hand before i buy anything from then :gag:

I have read a medical report stating that many people, particularly children, become ill from eating mouldy food without realizing the cause of their stomach illness.

It refers to the period when the mould is present on the food, but just before it becomes visible to the human eye.

It states that the new Tesco Stay Fresh bread technology goes a long way to safeguarding the nation's health. When we can get hold of it we buy both Stay Fresh wholemeal and Stay Fresh ordinary white bread, each for 44 pence, and it tastes great. Tesco tell me that demand is outstripping supply at the moment.

I believe that the technology is in the way that the yeast is kept.

My Grandma always said the little bit of mould on the crusts of her bread were good for her. "It's penicillin" she used to say.

She's still about at 90 years old, so something must have agreed with her!

I think the reason we fear food so much these days is because of how complicated the production, processing and storage has become.

I find it very amusing that people go mental at the suggestion of eating a GM carrot but will quite happily buy this bread.

Bread goes mouldy, it's natural, if you don't want mouldy bread buy it more frequently, or make your own (it's hardly any effort before the "I don't have time" brigade start).

or if it's gone mouldy, bin it and buy another loaf. It's not rocket science is it.

So..........will Jamie get the sack from Sainsburys after recommending something from the opposition?

I hate Jamie 'fat tongue' Oliver with a passion.

He really rubs me up the wrong way. Going slightly off topic but....

I personally think the main reason that kids today are getting fat is because they don't exercise. When i was at primary school (1985-1990) the school dinners were still *****e but all I did as a kid was run around like a mad head not sit inside and play on playstation.

So the message goes like this. Parents, Kids get off your arses and get some exercise.......................................... ....................................oh and stop eating those turkey twizzlers as well.

Well said 5 hats !
People say that a lot of obesity is caused through "glands".
Well , I've worked in a few foreign countries and spent holidays in a good few more and I've yet to see the amazing sights I saw the last time I was in Sheffield ; huge , barrels of lard of both sexes , rolling along , like balloons on legs. Strangely enough they were usually stuffing their faces with ice cream or shoving trolleys , laden , almost to overflowing with cream cakes or burgers. They were heading towards their cars , more often than not.
Now , in most countries you see a few hefty people but not the gross [in both senses of the word] numbers you see here. They reckon it's even worse in America.
Does this mean that people in some countries have got different glands from U.K or American glands ? Aren't glands and such universal ? Or could it be that loads of our citizens and kids , spend half their lives slumped in front " o ' t' telly " or killing aliens on computers and stuffing their gizzards with anything they can get their fat little fingers on ?
I know the kids get plenty of sport at school and .......whoops , sorry.!

No, it's all down to school dinners, and Saint Jamie of the East End will save us all.

Jamies School dinners highlighted a worthwhile cause, but it now seems that these days everyone thinks he's GOD for blatently stating the obvious.

MOST parents have a choice of what they feed their kids, and it is amazing, and slightly depressing that a mockney such as oliver has to come along and say don't feed your child that.

It now appears that all because Oliver has said that Tescos stayfresh bread is the dogs ****** now everyone is buying it and they have run out.

If Jamie Oliver said rub yourself with Olive Oil and then roll on your carpet naked I'm sure that 1000s of people would. Wake up people, do you really think Jamie Oliver is doing this because he is such a kind caring person. He is doing this for his own personal gain.


I only watched one jamies School Dinners programme and one of his quotes in that was "there is no way I am sending my child to a state school."..........what a gimp

Here is a bit of advice to parents from 5_hats if this wasn't already blatently Obvious

a) feed your children properly and don't let them eat crap

b) make sure they get some exercise

c) stop dribbling over Jamie Oliver as if he is god.

Maybe if more parents follwed this advice then I wouldn't have to put up with hyperactive screaming children every time I get on a bus.:thumbsup:

5_HATS, I agree with everything you say about parents not feeding their children properly but I don't think he started this thing for personal gain. I watched the entire School Diners series and he came across as a very determined individual.

He should be congratulated for bringing this issue to our attention.

He has made millions out of that programme. He has just signed a massive deal with Sainsburys as they are now jumping on the Oliver bandwaggon:mad: If he was that committed he would churn all that money back into schools around the country, but he is too worried about what sort of classic car to buy for Jools next birthday......tw@t

There you go. Sandwiches, fruit and an epic game of British Bulldog is what I used to do after getting totally sick of liver and onions and custard for desert. now it's a plate full of 5hite and a game of Doom 3 on the PSP handheld.

He's been signing up with Sainbury's for years hasn't he?

yes but they were gonna drop him as Sainsburys have not really been doing that well, but as soon as this 'programme' came out and everyone started brown nosing him, Tony Blair included Sainsburys offered him another multi million pound contract to make those crappy adverts with his fake family

Maybe they have agreed to give him extra points on his Nectar card?????

As you may have noticed, I don't really like Jamie Oliver. He is up there with Robbie 'get that stupid gurning smurk off your face' Williams.

cor' blimey five hats, aren't you the bitter and twisted one! i haven't seen any of the programmes so can't really comment on content or cause.

but what is so wrong with doing well for yourself and trying to maintain your position whilst pointing out to the public the importance of nutrition. it is useful to remember that not all kids get a choice of what they eat and many parents probably do feed their children with lots of sh**e with no nutritional value whatsoever. therefore it is even more important to offer balanced, nutrious and healthy school dinners, some children may not even get a chance to eat so well.

as for the bread in tesco's... thought i would mention it to get back on topic :)

5_Hats if you don't like Jamie that's one thing [I don't either] BUT he's done an amazing thing here. It wasn't just for publicity - it was something that would have taken a great deal of effort.

He's done something our spineless politicians wouldn't do, and they should have because it's there bloody job.

Yes you can partly blame parents, but that never goes down well and they came up with excuses, usually bad ones when you really look at it.

Diet has a real effect on health and personality. It's disgraceful that school dinners are so bad.

Mind you, I always loved the deserts :)

My Grandma died before I got interested in local history.

I could kick myself for not asking her all about her youth and our family tree etc. Something I deeply regret.

Stay Fresh bread from Tesco's isn't made with GM grain.


You can buy ''Take and Bake'' - it's half cooked bread and you just warm it up.


Never tried it.

It's been in the news this week about wasteful people and starving children.

We could send them some Tesco's Stay Fresh bread.

I think a newspaper tricked him into tasting some ''Sainsbury'' bread when it was really Tesco's bread.


Newspapers are like that - lower than a snake's belly.

I have a particular fondness for sandwiches made from two slices of Tesco's Stay Fresh thick sliced bread, two slices of boiled ham, one slice of cheese (Country Cow from Netto) and lashings of Luxury Premium Coleslaw until it oozes out all over (also from Netto)

Followed by a party pork pie and a double chocolate chip muffin.

Followed by a mug of tea made with the cheapest tea bags.


Glorious.

All that bogof stuff seems to be good value at Tesco and Sainsbury's. We can't stop eating muffins.

I must say that when i visit tesco's i always look for the bread with most fibre in it ,as opposed to the stayfresh stuff.
But two of my kids wont eat any wholemeal or brown bread at any cost so i have to choose something like best of both for them.
But having said this , they do eat loads of fruit and veg.

Has anyone tried those bread making machines whats the bread like from them.?

As for jamie , i think he's done a good job making people listen.
Yes most parents do know what is healthy for their kids but even with all the healthy info in the media etc, some parents still have their kids live on junk.

I was in a supermarket the other day and a very over weight
mum was prompting her very over weight daughter to choose
all things like chicken nuggets, twizzlers, pizzas,buns,garlic bread,chips,burgers, etc.
All the things that we eat in moderation , they clearly lived on them.
so not everyone is educated in how to feed their kids healthy stuff.

Yes - all Sheffield kids could do with 5 portions of fruit and veg everyday, then they can be treated to a light and airy muffin.

That Stay Fresh bread seems to be full of fibre, we've never bothered with a bake your own machine.

I've been baking with a bread machine for about 10 yrs now and the way I do it it tastes very good.
I think my machine is probabley the oldest around
Strong white bread flour ( at least 12 % protein-- on side of pk) with about a 6th of the mixture granary flour. Use fresh yeast from Morrisons.
Just use the dough mix, let the machine do the work and then tip the dough on to a tray and let rise in a warm place. Put in the oven for 20 min gas mark 7
Makes a beautiful bap loaf.

I haven't used a breadmaker, but I can higly recommend the bread mixes that you can get from the supermarket. It takes about 20 minutes with an electric hand-dough-mixer then about an hour in the oven (30 mins rising, 30 minutes baking) to make a superb loaf of bread. If you do a batch of 3 or 4 loaves at once then you've got enough for a couple of weeks if you freeze them.

Sold out of Stay Fresh bread yet again.


They can't keep up with demand so they need to stock even more.

They had loads in on Friday - thought shall I try some then thought nah Ill get my usual to make sure theres some left for the forum users:D

LisaH xxx

Oh, I like their late night self-checkout things. What great fun to do the scanning yourself!

I thought to make my scanning look authentic, I should really be chewing gum, ask myself huffily if I would like any help with the packing, and then carry on a conversation with the scanner across from me about what she did on Saturday night.

But I didn't.

I thought it shows a great level of trust on behalf of the supermarket, but someone told me the conveyor belt knows the weight of the goods on it. Is this true or am I about to fall for another Urban Myth (Like whem I believed StarBucks was named after a character in Battlestar Galactica)???

That's very considerate of you but they still ran out !


I thought about Home Delivery but our letterbox just isn't big enough for Tesco's Stay Fresh thick sliced bread.

Urban Myth...

Everysingle good is not priced on the same weighting scale, infact some aren't even priced on weigth. :rolleyes:

I ahve a breadmaker, and wouldn't be without it. I have made white bread, brown bread, Banana, cheese and cranberry, nut, olive etc.etc.

Its like any cooking utensil, you try different stuff.

At last we have managed to get some of that Tesco Stay Fresh bread that people have been talking about and recommending.


It will last us right through the Bank Holiday weekend so that's a great help but no wonder they often run out, I saw a student with about 20 loaves in their trolley.

Whilst going to pick up some Stay Fresh bread from Tesco's we saw lots of people buying tickets for the Chinese Circus. It's fantastic to see so many parents giving a great alternative treat to their children.


The circus should be pretty good as well.

Toast was always better when done on the coal fire. We used newspaper to draw up the flames. My newspaper always caught alite. Chestnuts were better too.


mmmmmm stay fresh.

They probably put formaldehyde in the bread to make it last, anyone checked the ingredients list ?

Keep bread in your fridge. It lasts for ages that way. Bread bins are only for idiots.

It is true, it weighs the items to check they the same as the ones scanned and that none haven't been put on the conveyor belt without being scanned.
What worries me though is that when you use your card in them you don't get asked for your pin so anyone can use anyone elses card. Apparently there's been massive fraud using these machines.

Yes - Tesco Stay Fresh Bread is full of healthyness, that's why knowledgable people are buying it.


Likewise Sainsbury muffins.

''Supermarkets will drive out the small shopkeepers.''


They were saying that 40 years ago - it would have cost me an extra fortune to use my local shop over the last 40 years. They don't sell muffins or Stay Fresh bread anyway.

Bread bins are only for idiots

Or for people who can't fit the bread in the fridge...

ie. me! I have a bread bin :mad:

5_hats is dead right, Jamie Oliver is far worse for the nation's health than any school dinner!:thumbsup:

Yes - they do white and wholemeal - thick and thin.


Tesco Stay Fresh Bread lasts for 7 days or more. It's 44p.

Maybe - but he knows a good Sainbury muffin when he sees one.

All stayfresh bread is horrid! It is so sweet and yucky. How on earth can you have fresh bread that is 7 days old??? Stay fresh???? What do they do to it?? Mummify it? Enbalm it? If you want fresh bread then you have to bake it yourself. Next best thing is such as an instore bakery. Yes it is rock hard the next day......but that is because it is not swamped in chemicals. Sprinkle some water on it and blitz it in the micro for a few seconds.....that will revive it, but it will be mouldy after a couple of days. That is what fresh bread does.....best eaten on the day that it was baked.
I have one of those electric bread makers and I can recommend it. You can eat it warm on the day or you can do what I do. I will set the breadmaker to bake during an evening and slice it up using an elecric carving knife the following morning. That is fresh bread. I also use sliced bread....warburtons. I allways have one of these loaves in the freezer. Great for sarnies. Take out how many slices you want.........lay on a bread board for 20 mins to thaw and use.
Everybody gets the chance to pump the preservatives into their bodies as they get older..........dont do it through your bread.

I agree with you on all counts there! Not least with your points about breadmakers & Warburtons (preferably seeded batch :D )

My girlfriend went to buy some wine on Sat 14 May at about 7pm. She threw away reciept after buying. Was approched by security in the car park. Next she was taken to Ecclesfield police station stripped, searched & held for two & a half hours. At Tosco though, they refunded the money that was thought to have been shopliffted. If she had shopliffted why would they give her the money for the goods they thought she had stolen? Do they not have cctv to prove she bought the wine? Could they not identifie the check our person to see who served her? Non of these checks were carried out. Police later said to my girlfriend they were sick of Infirmary road Tosco as they were always going down there. I was stuck worried sick waiting in the Cast & Cutler wondering were she was. My girlfriend is deaf so there was obviously difficulty in communicating. She was not offerd the facility of a sign language interpreter. Any Forumer know what to do? Thanks

Tim, I don't know what to do, but you may be as well posting this on your own separate topic.

Otherwise people may not look all the way through a thread about stay fresh bread!

I hope it all gets sorted out though, what a palava!

I must admit, I've seen so many people get caught at infirmary road tesco for shop lifting, perhaps because of the amount it really happens they are over cautious...

Remembering about bread....when I was around ten a large fresh loaf was a tanner and yesterday's was thruppence. My mother would prick the bottom of the yesterday's loaf all over with a fork then put in in the oven in a roasting dish with just a little milk and after about twenty minutes it came out fresh !

A good while before the era of sliced bread of course :D

I always stick my receipt in my shopping bag.

I would put it down to experience - a Court would probably side with Tesco if she couldn't show proof of purchase.

We're all paying for shoplifting, no doubt fuelled by drugs.

Sometimes - but if you remember Bonanza on TV, a map used to catch fire so I tried to copy it.

It's been very busy at Tesco and Sainburys today. Everyone seems to be buying Double Chocolate Chip and Blueberry Muffins.

I remember when Sheffield was a ghost town on Sundays.

I must get down to Sainsbury's.


Muffins - 50 percent extra for free
