To mark the occasion of the UK leaving the European Union, Kingsmill Bakery have come up with a special loaf, the '52/48'. This represents the split in the Brexit vote between those who wanted to leave, and those who wanted to remain part of the EU.
We asked just how this differed from their normal '50/50' bread. "There is no actual difference, the tiny change in the ingredients would not be worth the effort. Essentially we're still in charge of putting whatever we want into the bread, people voting or expressing any other sort of mass opinion doesn't really have any effect on what we produce as bakers," said a spokesman. And will this special edition bread be available throughout the '50/50' range? "No, just the thick loaf," we were told.
