Hi,
Actually I don't know the denotative meaning and also the connotative meaning , why did the author mention this company her.Thanks in advance and all answers are welcome/


In 1770 Edward Naime, an English Engineer, made a very lucky mistake in his writing, he inadvertently picked up some fragments of rubber that happened to be lying around, and thereby invented the eraser. I am no so sure that the story is true. Who keeps rubber in the bread bin? No one. Unless, of course, their bread has been made by the Chorleywood Process.

The Chorleywood bread process
Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process

I'm sure this tells you almost everything about it.

The joke with the pieces of rubber in the breadbin refers to the kind of bread made with this process. Slices of bread made by this process (white toast or sandwich bread) are generally considered to be rather rubbery in texture.

Finished too soon:

...rather rubbery in texture and consistency.

Sad and soggy would be my description of it.

I must admit that I have got on very well without this excuse for bread in the 30 years I have been in Germany :-)

Nevertheless, the general opinion here that all UK bread is like this should be corrected. There are some very good bakers back home (speaking for Yorkshire!).

bread like rubber


Explanation:
They are poking fun and saying that bread made wih this process is like rubber. It is a rapid industrial process to make bread.

The high degree of mechanical mixing involves produces a texture that some people liken to rubber.

this explains what the Chorleywood bread making process is

Chorleywood process


Explanation:
I'm sure this can be found on Google quite easily. It's the nasty industrial bread-making process that gave us Mother's Pride and Wonderloaf. The writer is saying that bread made by the Chorleywood process is like rubber, which could account for rubber being found in the bread bin.

Chorleywood is the place where the factory was located that first used this way of making pseudo-bread.

Three answers in two minutes probably testifies to how much some of us loathe the horrid excuse-for-bread we were brought up on. Could even account for us now living in countries where good bread is just normal.
