I've never been that good at telling the difference but fortunately I like them all. My mother, however doesn't like sultanas but does currants and raisins and my gran only likes sultanas and not the other two. I honestly don't know why they can be bothered to have an opinion.
 
Right, the results are in, Groiup A winners were Garlic Bread, runners up, Naan. Both will progress to the knockout stages.

Group B

Focaccia
Bloomer
Tea Cake
Brioche

tea cake and focaccia. Brioche trounced in every match, the bread-product saudi arabia
 
1.Teacake
2. Bloomer

Bloomer, stodgy and unexciting but gets the job done and is always there or thereabouts, the Germany of the bread world.

My thoughts exactly, in fact a good each way bet for the whole thing I reckon. Depending on the form of the tournaments outstanding team, the stottie.

Ahem, voting on Group A has closed. And seeing as Garlic Bread won the group by a single point, you've missed a big chance there. How silly do you feel? Eh? Eh?

Plus the stottie has home advantage. Worth a goal start IMHO.

:-D :-D Well yes, but the look she gave me on Sunday night.

"Right dear, on each of these bits of paper is the name of a type of bread, would you be so kind.......

Is this anything to do with that f*^%ing message board?"

it is undoubtably a good shout for the tournament, I'm expecting a top 3 finish from the tea cake. I'm not so sure the stottie will perform. Once an old favourite but now finds itself pitched against some outstanding emerging foreign breads, like an aging long-ball team being outplayed by continental flair that it has no answer to.

Yeah but these fancy Dan foreign breads are very lightweight not designed for the long haul. Be honest would you rather be in the trenches with a croissant or a ham and pease-pudding Stotty.

Are any of the bread products seeded ? I think we should be told... ;)

(Apologies if that joke's been used previously in this thread but I couldn't be arsed to read through the lot to find out...)

Ahh but, outdated fitness methods, bit stodgy. Could fall to a newer, fresher bread.....
