Forgot the bread but not the buns.

[Banker 10]

Oh - elephant's feet buns, they were scrumptious! They also used to sell them at Fletcher's shop in Middlewood Road.

[skippy_54 10]

What were those buns called that were puff pastry filled with apple and cream and covered with sugar?

[ukdobby 223]

Apple turnovers,vanilla slices my favourites

I think once you start buying Fletchers bread, you just don't care anymore! The reason it lasts so long is the high fat content.

yes i remember it quite clearly always used to come round every weekend when i was little, when i used to stop at my nans she always let me choose some buns which was great.

Yeah, I've got a photo of one too; it's a bit less dramatic than yours though!

Do you remember that silly rhyme about Flechers bread? I cant recall it now, I think Sunblest started it…

 

I think it went something like "Fletchers bread, tastes like lead! When you eat it you drop dead!"

 

Incidentally there's already another thread about Fletchers vans.
