This loaf is delicious, fresh from the oven, with butter and jam or marmalade. You can also serve it with soups and stews, or use it to make sandwiches. My favourite sandwich made with this bread is slices of ham and tomato, with shredded lettuce and mayonnaise. It is delicious when served as part of a ploughman's platter, with cheese and pork pies. My favourite way is to serve it with a bowl of hearty Irish seafood chowder or a warming bowl of winter beef and vegetable soup. For a quick and easy light lunch, serve a slice with a bowl of orzo pasta summer salad.
