Nice article Kev. It made me wonder though, garlic naan bread or tomato bread? The list is endless almost. Has anyone tried these breads as baits? It seems to me that we try all sorts of baits scrounged (initially) from the kitchen, but I dont think I've heard of flavoured bread.

Super Kev, brilliant idea teaming anglers with chefs.
How about Ainsley & Wilson for a fit of the giggles.; or Gary Rhodes & Donald Effingham Mudde! Or better still Delia Smith & Ron Clay. That would be a classic!!

Tony, have you not yet come across Cakey's infamous 'Swiss Roll'? (Bread slathered with Jam and rolled up). It's a revelation mate.

Afraid I missed that.
Cakey, is it in an article somewhere?

Kev, excellent article ... and you are definitely NOT alone. When I was stationed in Germany, I used to stop off at the local 'bakerei' for freshly baked bread rolls, on the way to the local carp puddle. That was 6 for the carp and 6 for me!!...Also consumed copious amounts of sweetcorn, straight from a freshly opened tin, and tinned par-cooked potatoes. I did however draw the line at the maggots!!!

A good read Kev. One thing that comes to mind though,with the obvious exception of worms, maggot hemp& boilies, it seems that most of the tried and tested baits, originated between two slices of bread, in an anglers tuck box. As diets become more varied, tikka flavour, chineese chicken flavour, some of our sandwiches must find their way into the water, by design or accident, so who can tell what our piscatorial friends will be dining on in the future. I remember a great day, anong a shoal of 'stripies'using the remains of a sardine sarnie

This reminds me of a teacher of mine who specialised in catching barbel & Chub on pork pie pastry.

His grounbaiting technique was to lob in the left overs from last nights tea irrespective of what it was. One memorable image is of him chucking handfuls of spaghetti bolognese into Somerley Lakes much to the bemusement of the local Carp Boys.He did catch though!
