Re: Vegets Bread

From

GANSG - Bread and cakes

Turog
bread was introduced to the UK in 1903, as with Hovis the flour was sold to local bakeries who were then allowed to advertise. Turog supplied its shops with a 3-D sign made of bass relief lettering on a metal frame to mount on the outside wall, the same style of lettering was also used for painted signs on the walls of the bakers.

They had a factory in Cardiff and were a national brand by the 1950s.

And here's a lovely photo of an old sign:

Sounds like a Welsh word to me - and the bakery at Cardiff's folk museum is called Turog

Can't say I've ever heard of the bread Keith mentions - or the crude song!
