BigMouth Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Where is Sandwick Bakery bread available in Lerwick at the weekend? I used to pick up a loaf from the butcher when in town. He used to get a delivery early on a Saturday, but that seems not to have happened for at least two weeks. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I got Sandwick rolls from the butcher opposite Harry's on Friday and I have a feeling the Co-op stocks it now. Could be wrong on that one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 The butchers hadn't had a delivery though and there was just two packs of rolls when I went in. I prefer their white slived loaf. I will have a look in the co-op the next time that I have to go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Think Don Leslies and Bolts have sandwick bakery goods along with walls bakery bakery goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavi Ugl Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Sound Service Station have started stocking Sandwick Bakery stuff after the demise of Malcolmson's and they get a Saturday delivery too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Is there nobody brave enough to start up another bakery in da toon? There must be a market for fresh newly baked bread large enough to sustain a business, perhaps not necessarily the size Malcolmson's was, but big enough to be worthwhile doing. Personally speaking, if it wasn't for local baked bread I don't think I'd eat any bread, the factory produced "sooth bread" is unpalatable to my tastes and I never buy it. I dunno whether its the type of yeast they use or the fact they put vinegar (why??) in the mix, but all "sooth" loaf has a vile disgusting aftertaste, and all plain buns are heavy dense tasteless lumps of nothingness, chewing a mouthful of damp sawdust would be more interesting and appetising.

Bake your own? Works for me. I also hate the mass produced stodge that comes in from south but, I also hate most of the local baked stuff which, in my opinion, isn't much better. The only problem I have with making my own is in getting fresh yeast but, having said that, some of the dried yeasts available locally are not to bad at all.

BigMouth Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I got mine in the Deli opposite the Queens. Fresh delivered the saturday that I got it. This week the baker had a loaf but it was out to the date, then I forgot to buy some so it's last weeks remnants toasted. As you see, not only is my life really interesting, but I write about it to. I'll be starting a fan club next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostie and the oven means one thing - everything gets cremated and there's only so much toast a person can stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogling Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Colin - if you're not keen on dried yeast - have you ever tried making Sourdough bread with your own starter? I hardly ever make yeast bread now, prefer the sourdough.My starter gets fed on Spelt flour & bottled water and the bread comes out really nice.Got a Rye starter on the go now as well, so will be trying a loaf tomorrow.

Ghostrider Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Ghostie and the oven means one thing - everything gets cremated and there's only so much toast a person can stomach. Its called nicely done - my innards appreciates it, charcoal is alkaline and and gives the gastric juices something to worry about, not to mention saves a small fortune in buying anti-acids. I kinda like the flavour too. Edited October 21, 2013 by Ghostrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
