What is it about Tiger Bread?
I mean it's just normal bread with a slightly burnt crust isn't it ... or are the makers of it adding some secret ingredient that can`t stop me thinking about the 1/4 un-eaten loaf i have left?
Is it just me .. or can others not leave it alone ?
I think it has extract of tiger in it! You know like a tiger in ya tank? :cool:
This is Tiger bread.
Personally I think it should be called Leoapard bread.
1 1/2 tsp yeast
65ml warm water (you may need more)
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
60g rice flour
for a 500gm bread flour recipe, the rice flour makes the tiger appearance as it splits and cracks as it cooks
:lickface::lickface: made some yesterday
Bakerbabe always brings me Tiger bread when we meet up, very kinky tiger bread swapping!
Mrs Leics hid the 4 tiger paws she brough me at Cov social as i made a mess in her car eating them on the way back from the last meet !!
Hedgehog bread is very tasty too with big knobbly crusty bits for the spines
I love tiger bread! :inlove:
how about a few of these stuffed with butter and garlic and served at a session!
or maybe not..............
Well it seems MY suggestion that they rename it Swingers bread has fallen on deaf ears.
Lily Robinson wrote a letter to the supermarket chain telling bosses their patterned loaf should be renamed giraffe bread.
The letter, sent in May 2011, was received by Sainsbury's customer manager Chris King, who loved Lily's ideas.
He replied: 'Renaming tiger bread giraffe bread is a brilliant idea - it looks much more like the blotches on a giraffe than the stripes on a tiger, doesn't it?
He went on to explain the origins of the bread's name, saying: 'It is called tiger bread because the first baker who made it a looong time ago thought it looked stripey like a tiger. Maybe they were a bit silly.'
Mr King also enclosed a £3 voucher 'to buy some tiger bread (and maybe if mum and dad say it is OK you can get some sweeties too!)', signing his letter 'Chris King (age 27 & 1/3)'.
Lily's mother posted the letters on her blog and this week the exchange went viral after being posted on a number of social networks.
Sainsbury's was then bombarded with messages from customers telling them how much they liked Lily's idea.
Yesterday, the supermarket chain decided to trial the name change, implementing it in stores across the country.
A spokesman for the store said: ‘In response to overwhelming customer feedback that our tiger bread has more resemblance to a giraffe, we will be changing our tiger bread to giraffe bread and seeing how that goes.’
It's the sesame oil on the crust which gives it that aroma, flavour and colour.
Oh dear.

I s'pose I should applaud the effort at least if nothing else, but really, an entire world of neck jokes at your disposal and that was the best you could come up with?
*sorry shake of head*
