> [@TriPolar](#): > > And then whatever @Elmer_J.Fudd was trying to say, it’s not clear what the opposite would be since his statement contains several points. Do you mean “Bread is one of many baked goods mostly made on-site and not shipped to stores”? For clarity, the vast bulk of bread sales in a UK supermarket will be baked using the [Chorleywood bread process](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process) and delivered to the store daily. Most cakes and other bakery products are also manufactured off site. The larger stores often have a small bakery at the rear of the store (as far as possible from the entrance). Presumably it is seen as an attraction and a way of enticing customers further into the premises. As I said before, the bakery generally produces a variety of artisan breads (sliced on request) rolls and baguettes. They may also produce, croissants, pain au chocolat, doughnuts, seasonal items like hot cross buns and some pastry items like Pastéis de Nata and jam tarts. ---

At my sister-in-law’s Giant, they have corn muffins, so they are sold alongside blueberry muffins, etc. Not sure if they have corn bread. I can buy something called corn bread (Maisbrot in German) here in Switzerland, but it’s a yeast bread with ⅓ of the wheat flour replaced with corn. Not the same at all, as corn bread is normally leavened with baking powder and/or baking soda. ---

Huh! Here, a little square of cornbread costs $4, maybe more - it’s wrapped tight in cellophane and sold alongside the serve yourself donuts and cookies. Another store, the same, only sold right near the rotisserie chicken and hot half a turkey breast to go. One can buy a little box of Jiffy corn bread for $1 and whip up a batch in less than half an hour but they count on the harried shopper just grabbing the convenient already made. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > My local Kroger carries it, and it’s not the minis, but it _is_ in the deli section and served in cake-like loaves similar in size to a freezer section pound cake. And my friend with ‘southern’ roots tells me it’s all yankee cornbread anyway, far too sweet for his tastes. Yep. I can buy it at all the local grocery stores, but won’t. Damn Yankees! Somebody above said it tastes like a filling-less Twinkie and that’s about right. ---

I don’t know where you live, but in Cleveland Giant Eagle sells whole unsliced loaves, plus there’s bread stores ---

> [@Keith1](#): > > Even worse than no corn bread, it’s hard to find unsliced bread anymore unless it’s an Italian or French loaf. It should be against the law to pre slice store baked bread. Our local chain grocery store’s bakery sells unsliced bread. I’m guessing it’s the bread that doesn’t quite make the cut 😉 to be a sliced loaf. I LOVE the unsliced white bread. It’s soft and doughy and makes THE BEST toast. I could eat an entire loaf at once. ---

My Giant sometimes sells those cellophane wrapped cornbread squares. I can’t imagine trying to make a sandwich with them, though. ---
