Having spent the last 24 days living off hotel breakfasts, I have seen some sights, but nothing that bad (intimidated by the idea of having to make my own toast tomorrow)

Most of bread in the UK is a crime against humanity. Don't get me started on baguettes.

That's one of the reasons I make my own bread, which I can confirm is not a crime against humanity!

So do I. Sourdough at that, which takes a lot of time but it is very good.

It makes me think of the Pratchett quote of the British tendency to take an American idea and remove the one redeeming quality, so we end up with things like slow fast food and West Country and western music.

Personally I'm more into the Croissant/pain-au-chocolat crossover you can get from Pret. They sell them frozen in Sainsburys too now it seems.

Can you get a ‘proper’ croissant in the UK? All the ones I find have the shape but not the taste.
