Clearly I've led a sheltered life and i will likely regret asking this, but anyway..... what is this malt loaf you speak???
You've never had Soreen malt loaf, in a bright yellow wrapper. It's sort of moist and bready with loads of dried fruit .
I've never had soreen, and I can't say I've heard of that. Is it sweet? Is it bread or cake, or in between? Malt and fruit sounds like it should be sweet more than savoury? I had an aversion as a child to wet bread! Yes, its weird I know, but if you said what do I hate most, wet bread comes ahead of anything at all, even Neil Warnock and Michael Brown! So I reckon my mum sheltered me from this knowing how traumatised it might have made me, if it was round a few decades ago (unless its a recent thing).
I like tuna and salad cream on soggy white bread. Mostly because my mother never strained the tuna properly.
