Malt Loaf, I love It.

[Less]

I prefer it toasted, the problem is,

Whenever I try to slice it, it gels to itself and ends up a bit like bread pudding, very nice in it's own little way.

BUT, does anyone know a way of cutting it into toaster size lumps (can't call them slices) that would make decent toast.

I suspect the only way would be to take it out of it's wrapper, leave it to dry out for a fortnight then saw through the dehydrated remains with a hacksaw.

That's not how I want to eat it!

I love malt loaf, used to eat them whole when I was a kid. As for cutting, a decent bread knife does the trick for us. Cut it like you are sawing a piece of wood.

Whoops, didn`t mean eat them whole as in one go, I`d eat just eat a full one, taking bites out of it rather than slicing.

You can buy it ready sliced

Ocado: Soreen Sliced Fruity Malt Loaf (Product Information)

It is larger than the old style malt loaf so fits in a toaster better.

Not as nice ready sliced, looses some of its moistness, Although not an issue I suppose if you`re toasting it.

Turn it on its side and cut it instead of from the top, it doesn't squish as much

I remember Virol malt extract from when I was a child - yummy stuff.

It is now being made again
Potter's Herbals Malt Extract

I think that is how us oldies got to love that malty taste - our dummies got dipped in it.

Perhaps you could supervise, or even do it for him. Maybe cut it into shapes.
