READERS SPAR OVER FRANCE'S SUGARY SLICED BREAD BEING TOO SWEET AND WHETHER THE UK VERSION IS SUPERIOR To the Editor, With reference to the letter about French sliced bread, I have also
wondered at its excessive sweetness which renders it useless for a savoury sandwich. Moreover, it is so damp and squashes to paper thinness that I have given up on it entirely and marvel at
