Desperately Needed: Tips on Slicing Bread
Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2018 8:19 am
To quote TheMighty Peanut, from elsewhere:
"I used to work at a grocery store bakery and one day the bread slicer went down. You should have seen the fits people threw. They couldn’t walk four feet to the side and get the prepackaged, presliced organic bread. It had to be the bread made that morning, and it had to be sliced extra thin OR ELSE. I’ll never forget the lady who asked me how to slice bread. I said “...with a knife?” and literally wondered if I was having a dream. Then of course they wanted the one person working to drop everything and spend god knows how much time trying to manually slice giant loaves of bread (extra thin!) while a line forms and gripes about what huge idiots we are."
She recommended, as a substitute for a broken bread slicer, a knife.
I recommend a band saw.
For these desperate shoppers, what do you recommend?
