Definitions
Informal British adjective describing bread that has been sliced extremely thick — the kind of chunky slab that resembles a doorstep more than a conventional slice. Often used affectionately, particularly when talking about homemade loaves, old-fashioned sandwiches, or bakery bread cut to generous proportions. The implication is bulk and heartiness rather than elegant thin-cut sandwich bread.
