I am not surprised. The phrase "the best thing since sliced bread" is an invention of an insane not a sage.
It has become almost impossible to buy a loaf upon which to wield one's bread saw (with a hacksaw-like blade) and I have long since changed to making my own, recently augmented with my Hibernian friend's soda bread. Her No.1 son, so he tells me from London exile, is making sour-dough bread - that may put us in competition in a field other than 'GO' (and MIG welding) but I have not tried that yet.
Perhaps bakers are true psychopaths - dictating the width of every slice of bread such that they come only in army sized widths. Too thin for toast and too thick for the cucumber sarnie.
Noah's, here, have invented another variant. Sliced, presumably when hot, but self congealed again when got to the galley. They must be sawn again but only down the pre-cut lines.
