Bread bins, what's occurring?

[Levo-Lon]

Got a large bread bin couple of weeks ago to put shop bought bread in.

Hovis Seed sensation and a small Danish

For some reason the bread now stinks of chemicals?
Just had boiled eggs with toasted seed sensation bread "which i love" bloody awful taste and smell.

Bread isn't going off early and the date on it is 16-9-19
What's occurring to ruin the bread

No idea but I’d take the bread bin back (assuming you gave it a good wash and maybe left it to air without the lid on?
Does the bread bin itself smell of the same thing?)

That said, boiled eggs stink more than most things

Try a different brand. Jackson’s seeded bloomer from Waitrose is very tasty

Errr, the date on the bread is tomorrow. So it could be about to go mouldy.

I keep bread in the fridge well beyond it’s dare (as I eat so little usually). Bin when mouldy or really old!

I don't see much point in bread bins. I keep bread in the fridge in warm weather and out the fridge in my cool kitchen when its not warm. If I buy a loaf from 'death row' meaning the nearly out of date shelf, i'll keep it in the fridge all the time.

Death Row, I like it.

I've had Hovis Seeded bread that's tasted chemically before.
Don't buy it anymore.

Out of interest I googled storing bread in the fridge, and most research reckons it actually goes stale quicker in the fridge. I just keep mine in the cupboard usually if I'm eating a fair bit, but otherwise pop it in the freezer and just take out a couple of slices at a time. Straight into the toaster if you want toast.

Some bloke called it that the other year. He said to me "I've just been to death row,but they've nowt in worth buying".

I pretty much always toast bread (unless it's brand new) but I don't like it out of the freezer, seems to go really dry when toasted but still soggy around the edges. Stale from the fridge is ok for my toast

How does it know this though?

I once lived next door to an older gent who was a toddler in postwar Germany. His stomach is still incapable of eating fresh bread because he never had any as a young child: he has to allow it to go stale before eating it or he gets stomach pains.

Bread is for fatties.

Our milkman's horse was the same.
