B is for Brown bread. Wholemeal.
Yum, one of my favourites
E ENGLISH Muffin - once went to a hotel in Leicestershire and on the breakfast menu it said 'English Muffin' - so I got my butter ready on the plate and was very disappointed when this 'big bun' with blueberries was placed in front of me. To me that's an American Muffin.

F is for French stick.

That's shocking, Caz. I doubt very much that the muffin man who lived down Drury Lane served them with blueberries!
No, I'm sure he didn't Lindum! I did tell them it wasn't an English muffin to which she brought out the box to show me it said 'English Muffin' on it - doubly disappointed that it hadn't actually been made at the hotel!
G GRISSINI - Italian what I would call a bread stick.

... GARLIC bread - nice with a spicy chilli dish (Just eating some now!)

HOVIS - Bakery which was particularly known for wholelmeal brown bread. Also memorable for some much-parodied "old-fashioned northern town" tv adverts. The company later became part of Rank-Hovis-McDougall (RHM), which had a big flour mill on Canklow Road.

J JOHNNYBREAD - US cornmeal-based flatbread . Believed to have Native American origins. Never had any.

I'd not heard of that before, Mike. I've led a sheltered life; until I left home at 18 I had only eaten Mother's Pride and Hovis.

Don't think I ever had any flatbreads/ pitta bread when I was a youngster. Can't recall ever seeing any in the shops either.
K KHUBZ - another flatbread but it puffs up in the middle and makes a pocket for your food.

Well, I've actually eaten that although I thought it was pita bread at the time! Used to eat it in a Lebanese restaurant in Queensway.

I have heard of it, but don't think that I have ever eaten any, or seen it on a menu.

...or... LOAF - item of bread, bigger than a roll, that is baked in one portion , then sliced. The term is used in Cockney rhyming slang. "Use your loaf" (loaf of bread) - use your head. ie think about it. Quite a while since I heard anybody use that phrase, although my Dad often used to say it, and he was born and bred in Rotherham.

M MALT Loaf - love a slice (or two) of malt loaf with proper butter on it. It's, obviously, made with malt and has currents (raisins?) in it. My Mum used to make it. I never have.
