Larder: Brioche


Breakfast brioche is inexcusable. Sweet, buttery bread, sometimes peppered with rudest chocolate, sometimes laced with eggy custard. We like to eat it straight; ripped up and stuffed in our mouths, or doused with coffee along the way. So, if you’re after something appalling for breakfast; plunge a large cafetière, tuck the muesli out of sight, and place a tear-and-share brioche on the kitchen table.

Specially Selected tear and share chocolate chip brioche, Aldi
£1.69

This is the least stingy chocolate chip product we’ve ever torn. So prevalent are these melty drops, that there’s a good chance some will end up on your pyjamas. There’s no booze in the ingredients list, but it smells naughty, and it makes us giddy.

Maitre Jean Pierre brioche, Lidl
£1.99

Like pudding in a loaf; this one has thick threads of gloopy custard running through it, stays moist for days and melts on the tongue. In a bread and butter pudding, this would just be mental.
