So nostalgic. Great article. We had lovely batch bread from the bakeries in Clonmel and Carrick on Suir. Love rasher sandwiches made with fresh batch bread 🥪😃
In my family we always made sure to have batch bread to make stuffing for the Christmas turkey. I remember bread deliveries to a Dublin inner suburb in the 50s by horse-drawn van. Or was that the laundry man? I certainly remember peeling away pieces of the soft exposed side of the pan loaf. Delicious!
Another wonderful piece. I recall batch loaves in Waterford but not Cork. In Dublin and Belfast, but not Kerry. Griffin’s (late lamented) in Galway might have turned them out but I’m not sure. There’s a map to be made of Irish bakery loaf styles I suspect.

Great memories!
