This idea occurred to me as I was tucking into a delicious, freshly baked and still-warm loaf of olive-bread while pounding the streets of Edinburgh one evening.
Wouldn't it be great to have a mobile bread-van, similar to coffee and snack vans, which comes round to the office at lunchtime or just
parks up somewhere in the town and sells to passers-by.
As well as freshly baked loaves, rolls and pastries, the van would also sell cheese and cold sausage so that at lunchtime you could enjoy a chunk of warm, fresh bread with a generous slice of stilton and some chorizo.
Perhaps this is just my weird foodie dream, not shared by anyone else, but I think it would be fabulous. If I were to ever start such a business I would of course call it 'The Halfbakery Van' in honour of this fine forum of all things ingenious.
hmmm

Yes, yes it would [+], coincidentally, I'm currently rueing the lack of same in the neighbourhood as the cold-weather alternative to "ice cream truck". |

When I was young, the baker came along our street in his van, selling warm bread door to door. |

When I was young, the hunters would kill a brontosaurus in front of the caves, and everybody could axe off a chunk. |

Then some kid invented fire, and it all went wrong. |

Wonderful. I fear that appreciation of good bread isn't
widespread enough for this to be economical, but perhaps,
in time, that could change. Appreciation of good coffee
wasn't formerly widespread either. If this existed in my
neighborhood, I'd be a faithful patron. |

Yeah, kind of warmly halfbaked for sure, po. |

I fear that my idea has already been baked ([po]'s link), but thanks for your annotations folks. :)- |

The linked idea is "sell cheap slabs of bread and butter on every street corner", this is "sell warm bread from a mobile van". They're not really the same (though they're both a bit lame). |
|
| |
Is this a mobile bakery-van, or a mobile-bakery van? That is, is the bread actually baked in the van? |
|
| |
There's a street vendor in Ann Arbor, MIchigan who mobily baked and warm cookies, and pastries at night in the bar district. I'm sure they could expand their business to bread too. |

Taco trucks in LA sell warmed tortillas |

That's the idea [spidermother]! :)- |

I have purchased freshly baked flatbreads made in an oven in a street kiosk outside a Moscow railway station. |
