Tesco Tiger Bread

Tiger bread is definitely the nicest kind of fresh bread sold in Tesco. I love getting the big weekend loaf on a Friday evening, as it goes well with dinner on Friday and lucnh and dinner on Saturday and if you are lucky there will be a bit left over for lunch in Sunday! It does stay quite 'fresh' feeling and does not go hard as quickly as some other fresh bread. I do value this highly as I really do not normally like day old bread. The large weekend loaf that I have been picking upo recently cost £1.00 which I think is great value for the amount of eating you get out of it and length of time it lasts. It tastes great, the bread is really fluffy ...  Read the complete review

TESCOS TIGER BREAD. I like to buy fresh bread, and have been a great fan of Tiger Bread, for a long time now. This loaf of bread, a large uncut loaf which incidentally you can get this sliced as medium thin or thick, but i prefer to buy mine whole and i usually use my electric knife to slice it, depending on what size slice of bread i want, and it also depends if i am toasting it, and have to fit it into my electric slicer, or if im cooking it under my electric grill in my oven it doesnt really matter what size the slices are. Tesco Tiger Breag costs just over a £1.00 unless you are lucky to get it reduced which ocassionally ...  Read the complete review

My children spotted this type of loaf several years ago in Asda and have been hooked ever since. We don't actually live near Asda so were really pleased when our Tesco store started producing Tiger Bread. Now you can buy not only Tiger Bread Loaves, but rolls and baguette type sticks as well. Tiger Bread is disinctive because of the stripy texture on the top - this is made apparently by using sesame oil and painting a paste of rice flour on the top to give the stripey pattern. Tiger Bread has a distinctive taste which I can only assume comes from the sesame oil used and if you manage to pick up a loaf that has just come from the ovens the aroma is ...  Read the complete review

Often as a weekend treat we treat ourselves to a Tiger Loaf, not always from Tesco but Tesco do a great Weekend Tiger Loaf for a quid every now and then. This weekend it was the smaller 400g loaf we got for 67p yesterday morning. It is very hard to put a taste or a smell on this bread to make a comparison but I always know when there is a Tiger Loaf in the house ... then I am like an animal myself to get to it. It has a very distintive smell. The flavour of the bread itself is good, pretty average for a decent loaf, but the 'topping' makes this bread. It is kind of stripy, or split on the top. I have no idea how they do it but it is really lovely. ...  Read the complete review

Tiger bread smells absolutely delicious when freshly baked and I think that Tesco is one of the best stores for this bread. It seems to have become more and more popular recently as Tesco regularly advertise it as a 'weekend loaf' for £1.00 but the standard price is £1.10. The bread is baked fresh in the Tesco in store bakery and if you visit at the right time (lunchtime or first thing) you can frequently find bread that is still warm. The bread is delicious and has quite a unique smell and taste to the crust. It is not the thickest crust and I much prefer it to standard tin loafs of bread. It is nice and easy to slice with a medium crust and a ...  Read the complete review
