Does this happen to anyone else?

Just a quicken.... Now, the dentist told me that I brush my teeth too hard so it's possible I do the same to my toast. However, it happens only with one spread, never with the butter. I still ask though, as variety probably isn't the most accurate description of my dietary intake, particularly when it comes to breakfast.

When bread is made, the dough is mixed in a mixing bowl, and comes out pretty smooth. In this case it's divided into 800g pieces with minimum manipulation.

Then fed through a roller, which makes it come out sausage shaped, then put in a tin and from there it rises.

This rising gives it aeration, this is where the holes in your bread come from. These wholes look kinda random, or without directional grain...

So why the fuck is there only one direction I can spread my vegemite on my toast without ripping my fucking bread apart?



Does this happen to anyone else with vegemite or any other spreads?

It's the best thing since sliced bread.


Question courtesy of Neville Davitt. The rambling around the blog courtesy of my good self.

From Wikipedia:
Sliced bread
is a loaf of bread which has been pre-sliced and packaged for convenience.

The phrase "the greatest thing since sliced bread" (and variations thereof) is a commonly used hyperbolic means of praising an invention or development. Sliced bread appears to be something of an arbitrary selection as the benchmark against which later inventions should be judged. It has been said that "the phrase is the ultimate depiction of innovative achievement and American know-how",[7] although it is commonly used in the United Kingdom as well.

The popular use of the phrase derives from the fact that Wonder Bread, the first mass-marketer of sliced bread as a product, launched a 1930s ad campaign touting the innovation.

So....

What was the best thing before sliced bread?
