Yes I've eaten this bread before, I wasn't too keen on it at first but found that by toasting it made the flavours come out and it tasted much nicer.

Can't say I've seen that bread in Tesco's, you might have to purchase it on-line or try a local health food shop.

I used to eat this in moderation, toasted, when I could find it. Sadly, it seems to have disappeared from our local Morrison's.

Not sure if the offer is still on, but Iceland were selling it where you got two loaves for £2.

Love Burgen bread :)

I can tolerate it ok - have two slices of toast for breakfast and doesn't have a bad influence on my BS. Usually high 5's two hours after :)

If any of you are travelling up or down the M6, there is a service station called Tebay just south of Penrith. On both northbound and southbound there is a large farm shop. They sell bread made locally, and in particular a German Rye, which tastes wonderful, especially toasted. I slice it very thinly, because it's very filling. I cut it in half and freeze one half. It is expensive, but half a loaf lasts me a week.

All other bread spikes me badly. This one doesn't at all.

I know it's a funny place for a farm shop, but it's very good. You'd be unlikely to come out with just the bread!

I often go here just to get " stuff" - it's about 70 minutes drive from my home, they do a sour dough bread it's the only sour dough I can eat I buy it ready sliced but you have to remember because it's round the middle slices are twice the length of the end slices lol. I get my chocolate for cooking here too and they do proper pork scratchings in pots,

The service station is the best in the UK- all the food is fresh from scratch and they have their own farm - beautiful lodge on the other side a great place to stay for a break


Ok I hold my hands up I'm a saddo but I agree it's well worth a trip out to just the service station - and it feeds my son's obsession with construction vehicles as there is always some work somewhere on the motorway ( he has aspergers)

I like Burgen toasted. I rarely eat it, but when I have that irresistible urge for some bread then one slice of Burgen does the job beautifully without too much damage. :)

I spread tomato puree on it, a pinch of dried oregano, cheese and a little onion, then toast it. Heavenly never spike out of the 5's
