Sour dough needs to go

I don't mind it but would MUCH prefer premium sliced bread in the F lounge to eat my scrambled eggs on (they do great scrambled eggs).

Why doesn't QF do what EK does and that is circulate a bread tray that has sourdough rolls, wholemeal rolls, multigrain slices, regular white rolls, and Sliced Garlic bread :D.

Choice is GOOD when it comes to bread.
 
When I work out what sourdough bread is then I can decide whether I like it or not.

Seriously....
 
My name is Katie and I like sourdough.

(Rather that than the sweet bread made in the US!!)
(I also used to like the breakfast pancakes served in Y on United trans-pac)

I don't bother with bread at all . . . would hate to fill up and not be able to eat all the other "delectable" meals on offer :shock: :mrgreen:

+ 1 however, I can't say no to a couple of slices of CX garlic bread:D
 
I love sour dough. I never butter bread so the holes aren't an issue.

Best dipped in good olive oil with fresh, cracked pepper.
 
I like it too... though do agree, it can sometimes be a little too solid, but it's mostly just right! :)

You're making me hungry!

Though I do butter mine, love me some butter!
 
Seriously who enjoys sourdough bread?

I do. Sorry trippin_the_rift, TonyHancock, and awilcockson, but the QFF non-P1s have it right this time ;)

- The crust is impossible to bite off and chew.

Smaller bites.

It is meant to be quite crusty, and it's better if you toast it, but realised that QF don't toast their bread on board (they merely warm it, if even that). Princess Fiona has a good point - try to warm it up a bit, and it'll soften slightly.

Worse comes to worst - let the crust be - just ask for more bread and return the crusts. Not like your hair won't be curly if you don't eat your crusts :p

- When spreading butter with a knife, it creates huge holes in the bread.

Try spreading the butter on a flatter angle. If the butter still tears the bread then the butter isn't soft enough.

- 1 slice is too small to enjoy with a poached or fried egg.

So ask for another one? I'm sure they'll offer another slice on the spot if you ask nicely, especially if it isn't a full cabin.

Other airlines don't use sourdough and it's just QF from my experience....?

There are some other airlines, but they usually do have other bread varieties available if sourdough isn't your thing.

I don't know about other domestic operations around the world that use sourdough, though I'm sure that VA have had sourdough rolls before once (with the same crusty crust).

There is no alternative in the First Class lounge or in Business on board.

Well... for the FLounge maybe you could try to request gluten free bread? Just saying that it's not necessarily tastier, but everything tastes better when it's toasted. Even sourdough. :)

I thought breakfast in the morning there was usually at least two bread options. Maybe the other is spiced fruit bread, don't know.


Looks like this issue has you sour when you hand over so much dough ;) :p
 
I always take sourdough over any other bread!
 
Absolutely love sour dough, but there are nicer ones than the ones QF serves. - chowder in a sour dough bowl at Boudin's in San Francisco, or organic sour dough from the Farmer's market in Canberra. Life's little pleasures....
 
I'm shocked.

Mainly because this means there are people out there that can break through the crust :p

I got two bits that they'll have sourdough on the bread plate at Rockpool on Tuesday :p

We'll see how tough the crust is :mrgreen:
 
I like sourdough bread, but agree with the two main points here:

- hard to butter.
- thick crusts.

Don't care too much about buttering (I rarely butter bread), but the crust does annoy me greatly!
 
Seems like you're out voted Trippin... Maybe next time ask the FA or lounge attendant to cut the crusts off and maybe butter it for you??? :)

And yes, on Thai in J last year i also had garlic bread offered to me for the first time on a flight, nice little different option....
 
I'm not so concerned about the bread, but Lurpak Spreadable is surely an abomination.
F seems to be the last refuge.
 
I choose sourdough over the alternative (wholemeal roll?), but TBH I'm not a big fan. But then I'm probably something of a bread heathen...I find bread to be just a vehicle for a spread/filling, and not something to be admired or swooned over in its own right. Give me rotten old white bread every time! :p
