Gluten free bread is a pain. It's dry, it falls apart and it never tastes nice. The best I can say about the bread I eat (which I make myself, from a mix) is that it's the least disgusting one I've ever had. When it's just made and still quite warm it's actually quite nice. But after it's spent some time in the freezer, it really isn't. And you can't not freeze it because it only lasts about three days before going off because it has no preservatives in it.

However, in Ottawa I found a loaf of bread that I would describe as nice. It looks like normal bread, behaves a lot like normal bread (although goes off faster) and tastes almost like the real thing too. I looked up their website and they do deliver to anywhere in the world. However, each loaf costs about £3.50, plus a minimal shipping charge per order, plus £5 airmail shipping per loaf.

Which is annoyingly too expensive to justify. Although I'm almost tempted to ask for some for Christmas because I have enough left for lunch tomorrow (assuming it's not too blue by then) and then I'm back to the old stuff, which I'm really not looking forward to. I quite liked being able to eat lunch without having to read to take my mind off the taste of the food.

None of the online free from places sell this bread, which if it costs that much isn't really a surprise. You'd think someone in this country would come up with a similar recipe, but it seems not. It's like the best soya milk comes from New Zealand, which you can't get in this country (but can in Romania). I don't think there's anything free from we get here that's better than anywhere else.
