Will look out for that...Burge breadn used to be in plentiful supply here...now it's like 'gold dust' unless I do an online shop...using Tesco's high protein bread at the moemnt...can only find that in those small slices...means I tend to eat more...defeats the object.

Oh b***r...so annoying sb...Tesco did a great high protein loaf...suddenly disappeared...replaced with the smaller one...will have to revert to online shopping...those small slices are never enough for me.
 
Never tried it so don't know if its any good lol, I eat the Tesco Wholemeal 440g loaves or their finest wholemeal rolls x

I have been using the small Burgen for a while, mainly as a method of portion control.

Blimey grovesy...good control there...if the slices are/were smaller I'd just eat more😱😱😱.
 
I've been getting the Hovis low carb for a 2-3 weeks now as my Tesco stopped doing Burgen. Very nice and BGs fine with it.

Hate those small slices.
 
Well I can report that the Hovis low carb seeded was quite nice with beef & tomato but I think I prefer the Burgen bread
 
I've bought the white Hovis loaf. Having bacon sarnie this morning. Will report the results.
 
OK, the results were:
Before: 5.8
2hrs after: 6.3
:D
 
Did it taste good though? lol x

It wasn't bad at all. Just like white bread. Slices are a reasonable size too.

Very good results, can't even get that with wholemeal bread, tried various ones recently and before in the 5.0 s after in the teens :(
 
I've found Sainsburys always have Burgen. It's definitely my 'go to' bread now.
 
No problems getting it here in the Fens. Apparently, it's popular with our Eastern European population.
