It has a lot more taste than white bread, at least. Nate Send a noteboard - 21/03/2012 09:46:53 PM
Obviously I at least, and presumably Tom and others as well, am talking about pumpernickel-style bread, like Celia, which has a very strong and (of course there's no accounting for tastes) disagreeable taste.

White bread on the other hand is tasteless and bland, which for some things (toast, croques monsieur, etc.) can be good but mostly is just, you know, tasteless. Multi-grain breads or single-grain whole wheat breads are where it's at.


I have no idea how it compares to pumpernickel-style bread, but the rye bread I eat definitely has flavour. I eat whole grain bread with my lunches (mmm), and my rye bread has even more flavour than that. But it definitely seems to be different from what you and Celia are describing. I'm thinking it might be a dumbed-down Canadian version of rye bread that's easier on the taste buds.

I want to mail you all stale pieces of it to show you that I'm not crazy, but the very act of mailing you bread would disprove my hypothesis.

How do people not like rye bread? nossy - 21/03/2012 03:50:15 AM 1320 Views
I know! Nate - 21/03/2012 03:53:19 AM 909 Views
Exactly! nossy - 21/03/2012 03:56:34 AM 966 Views
If you eat tuna salad, you have lost any credibility to comment tastefully on culinary matters. *NM* Tom - 21/03/2012 05:00:29 AM 456 Views
Don't be silly. *NM* nossy - 22/03/2012 05:04:45 PM 461 Views
I'm not. *NM* Tom - 22/03/2012 07:48:52 PM 435 Views
Maybe it was a one-time thing. *NM* nossy - 22/03/2012 09:51:23 PM 435 Views
It tastes like I imagine sweaty socks would, that's how. Tom - 21/03/2012 04:59:14 AM 892 Views
Isaac - 21/03/2012 11:10:01 PM 899 Views
It depends on the rye bread. Stephen - 21/03/2012 01:40:07 PM 873 Views
Isn't that super dark and dense? nossy - 22/03/2012 09:52:23 PM 850 Views
Ehh. I don't like most... "darker" breads, maybe? beetnemesis - 21/03/2012 02:01:17 PM 874 Views
Weirdo. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:53:37 PM 996 Views
I don't always like it because it can be dry and I hate dry food LadyLorraine - 21/03/2012 02:47:35 PM 899 Views
I think you've had bad rye bread. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:54:22 PM 910 Views
do you have any suggestions? *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/03/2012 12:01:14 AM 478 Views
Try it from a nice bakery? nossy - 23/03/2012 12:46:29 PM 792 Views
Because they're crazy. Sareitha Sedai - 21/03/2012 03:04:26 PM 896 Views
Exactly. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:54:40 PM 806 Views
It's not that rye bread is bad... Tigr - 21/03/2012 07:13:18 PM 883 Views
Um... nossy - 22/03/2012 09:55:01 PM 808 Views
Because it tastes revoltingly? Legolas - 21/03/2012 07:32:55 PM 928 Views
Did you have it there? nossy - 22/03/2012 09:56:32 PM 1159 Views
See below - if it's not the really dense type, I'm not sure what the controversy is. Legolas - 22/03/2012 10:29:05 PM 986 Views
So, are you saying you might like rye if you don't think about the one you hate? nossy - 23/03/2012 12:35:20 PM 926 Views
I'm saying the kind of rye bread that "people" don't like is the black one, in my experience. Legolas - 23/03/2012 07:28:31 PM 813 Views
But that is not all rye, by a long shot. nossy - 24/03/2012 08:09:50 PM 917 Views
Well... not really that much rye actually DomA - 24/03/2012 09:56:39 PM 884 Views
Huh. Looks like there are actually lots of types of rye bread. Nate - 21/03/2012 08:01:11 PM 975 Views
that's very different from what I think of. What I think of is pretty much pumpernickel. *NM* LadyLorraine - 21/03/2012 08:44:36 PM 461 Views
That just looks like very ordinary bread... Legolas - 21/03/2012 09:35:20 PM 889 Views
It has a lot more taste than white bread, at least. Nate - 21/03/2012 09:46:53 PM 851 Views
It's probably easier for you to try and get hold of some pumpernickel. Legolas - 21/03/2012 10:22:34 PM 912 Views
i actually really like the TASTE of pumpernickel. LadyLorraine - 21/03/2012 11:07:27 PM 850 Views
This is what I think of. Denser. beetnemesis - 22/03/2012 05:09:31 AM 924 Views
That looks like what I would call rye bread too. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 22/03/2012 07:54:52 PM 456 Views
Yup. I think I probably like all of them. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:58:11 PM 832 Views
OH I know what you're talking about there. I love that stuff. the seeds make it especially awesome! *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/03/2012 12:59:15 AM 500 Views
Meh. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 21/03/2012 08:36:12 PM 430 Views
Because they don't pair it with the proper flavors. It needs to go with something that has a kick. Ghavrel - 22/03/2012 12:03:40 AM 861 Views
The only time I have liked rye is when it was part of a reuben. Kaldric - 22/03/2012 12:56:33 PM 960 Views
They have now been educated. nossy - 22/03/2012 10:00:15 PM 866 Views
Good question LordPerrin - 22/03/2012 12:10:30 AM 811 Views
Got one? *NM* nossy - 22/03/2012 10:03:48 PM 469 Views
The one thing I can say with definitiveness... LordPerrin - 23/03/2012 12:35:34 AM 889 Views
Put a burger and some cheese on it with fried onions and its good Hieshyn - 22/03/2012 01:20:48 PM 979 Views
A patty melt? nossy - 22/03/2012 10:05:01 PM 898 Views
Taste buds. The answer has something to do with having taste buds.... snoopcester - 22/03/2012 08:02:24 PM 875 Views
I've seen you eat rye! nossy - 22/03/2012 10:04:37 PM 825 Views
Did you promise him sex? I'd eat a spoonful of mayo if my wife promised sex as a reward. TaskmasterJack - 22/03/2012 10:14:46 PM 952 Views
How on earth can you hate mayo? Legolas - 22/03/2012 10:31:08 PM 817 Views
I'm with TMJ on this one. Nate - 22/03/2012 11:45:00 PM 902 Views
Re: I'm with TMJ on this one. TaskmasterJack - 23/03/2012 12:05:42 AM 929 Views
I'm with him on the general idea but not eating mayo for sex. Tom - 23/03/2012 12:40:57 AM 787 Views
I didn't say you should put it on your sandwiches. Put it on your fries. Legolas - 23/03/2012 07:30:59 PM 763 Views
Not a good idea... DomA - 23/03/2012 09:36:16 PM 852 Views
You must have missed my "good" (i.e. Belgian) qualifier. Legolas - 23/03/2012 10:24:43 PM 867 Views
Re: You must have missed my "good" (i.e. Belgian) qualifier. DomA - 24/03/2012 03:08:03 AM 852 Views
Mayonnaise is revolting. *NM* Tom - 23/03/2012 12:38:34 AM 457 Views
I also detest mayo. *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/03/2012 09:04:37 PM 432 Views
Don't you remember DomA - 23/03/2012 09:23:47 PM 902 Views
i've had homemade mayo and I still dislike it LadyLorraine - 24/03/2012 03:51:26 AM 708 Views
I suspect.... DomA - 24/03/2012 01:52:48 PM 872 Views
this is possible, as I'm also very finicky about eggs. *NM* LadyLorraine - 24/03/2012 02:51:59 PM 420 Views
Why would I want competition for the bread? nossy - 23/03/2012 12:39:28 PM 911 Views
No idea what you are on about. snoopcester - 22/03/2012 10:37:39 PM 976 Views
This is what Dutch rye bread looks like Helene - 23/03/2012 05:23:28 AM 889 Views
That looks awesome. I wanna try it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2012 07:28:10 AM 460 Views
Huh. nossy - 23/03/2012 12:37:35 PM 901 Views
It's good that you are positively predisposed towards this bread Helene - 25/03/2012 03:14:50 PM 1023 Views
I *think* I've already had it. Or something close. nossy - 26/03/2012 02:02:30 PM 952 Views
Your rye bread is all wrong kHz1000 - 23/03/2012 06:46:01 AM 923 Views
Orrrr, "my" rye bread is really awesome. nossy - 23/03/2012 12:43:54 PM 851 Views
I fucking love Rye. Oh, wait, you're talking about bread. I guess I like that to *NM* Urza - 23/03/2012 07:28:45 AM 451 Views
