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 1300 Views
I know! Nate - 21/03/2012 03:53:19 AM 885 Views
Exactly! nossy - 21/03/2012 03:56:34 AM 939 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 444 Views
Don't be silly. *NM* nossy - 22/03/2012 05:04:45 PM 449 Views
I'm not. *NM* Tom - 22/03/2012 07:48:52 PM 423 Views
Maybe it was a one-time thing. *NM* nossy - 22/03/2012 09:51:23 PM 424 Views
It tastes like I imagine sweaty socks would, that's how. Tom - 21/03/2012 04:59:14 AM 851 Views
Isaac - 21/03/2012 11:10:01 PM 875 Views
It depends on the rye bread. Stephen - 21/03/2012 01:40:07 PM 848 Views
Isn't that super dark and dense? nossy - 22/03/2012 09:52:23 PM 827 Views
Ehh. I don't like most... "darker" breads, maybe? beetnemesis - 21/03/2012 02:01:17 PM 851 Views
Weirdo. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:53:37 PM 972 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 877 Views
I think you've had bad rye bread. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:54:22 PM 889 Views
do you have any suggestions? *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/03/2012 12:01:14 AM 467 Views
Try it from a nice bakery? nossy - 23/03/2012 12:46:29 PM 767 Views
Because they're crazy. Sareitha Sedai - 21/03/2012 03:04:26 PM 874 Views
Exactly. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:54:40 PM 781 Views
It's not that rye bread is bad... Tigr - 21/03/2012 07:13:18 PM 860 Views
Um... nossy - 22/03/2012 09:55:01 PM 781 Views
Because it tastes revoltingly? Legolas - 21/03/2012 07:32:55 PM 908 Views
Did you have it there? nossy - 22/03/2012 09:56:32 PM 1136 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 962 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 906 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 788 Views
But that is not all rye, by a long shot. nossy - 24/03/2012 08:09:50 PM 895 Views
Well... not really that much rye actually DomA - 24/03/2012 09:56:39 PM 858 Views
Huh. Looks like there are actually lots of types of rye bread. Nate - 21/03/2012 08:01:11 PM 949 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 452 Views
That just looks like very ordinary bread... Legolas - 21/03/2012 09:35:20 PM 867 Views
It has a lot more taste than white bread, at least. Nate - 21/03/2012 09:46:53 PM 825 Views
It's probably easier for you to try and get hold of some pumpernickel. Legolas - 21/03/2012 10:22:34 PM 889 Views
i actually really like the TASTE of pumpernickel. LadyLorraine - 21/03/2012 11:07:27 PM 823 Views
This is what I think of. Denser. beetnemesis - 22/03/2012 05:09:31 AM 896 Views
That looks like what I would call rye bread too. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 22/03/2012 07:54:52 PM 444 Views
Yup. I think I probably like all of them. nossy - 22/03/2012 09:58:11 PM 807 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 491 Views
Meh. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 21/03/2012 08:36:12 PM 421 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 841 Views
The only time I have liked rye is when it was part of a reuben. Kaldric - 22/03/2012 12:56:33 PM 934 Views
They have now been educated. nossy - 22/03/2012 10:00:15 PM 843 Views
Good question LordPerrin - 22/03/2012 12:10:30 AM 791 Views
Got one? *NM* nossy - 22/03/2012 10:03:48 PM 460 Views
The one thing I can say with definitiveness... LordPerrin - 23/03/2012 12:35:34 AM 858 Views
Put a burger and some cheese on it with fried onions and its good Hieshyn - 22/03/2012 01:20:48 PM 957 Views
A patty melt? nossy - 22/03/2012 10:05:01 PM 874 Views
Taste buds. The answer has something to do with having taste buds.... snoopcester - 22/03/2012 08:02:24 PM 850 Views
I've seen you eat rye! nossy - 22/03/2012 10:04:37 PM 802 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 929 Views
How on earth can you hate mayo? Legolas - 22/03/2012 10:31:08 PM 797 Views
I'm with TMJ on this one. Nate - 22/03/2012 11:45:00 PM 875 Views
Re: I'm with TMJ on this one. TaskmasterJack - 23/03/2012 12:05:42 AM 908 Views
I'm with him on the general idea but not eating mayo for sex. Tom - 23/03/2012 12:40:57 AM 765 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 739 Views
Not a good idea... DomA - 23/03/2012 09:36:16 PM 827 Views
You must have missed my "good" (i.e. Belgian) qualifier. Legolas - 23/03/2012 10:24:43 PM 842 Views
Re: You must have missed my "good" (i.e. Belgian) qualifier. DomA - 24/03/2012 03:08:03 AM 831 Views
Mayonnaise is revolting. *NM* Tom - 23/03/2012 12:38:34 AM 447 Views
I also detest mayo. *NM* LadyLorraine - 23/03/2012 09:04:37 PM 419 Views
Don't you remember DomA - 23/03/2012 09:23:47 PM 880 Views
i've had homemade mayo and I still dislike it LadyLorraine - 24/03/2012 03:51:26 AM 687 Views
I suspect.... DomA - 24/03/2012 01:52:48 PM 850 Views
this is possible, as I'm also very finicky about eggs. *NM* LadyLorraine - 24/03/2012 02:51:59 PM 408 Views
Why would I want competition for the bread? nossy - 23/03/2012 12:39:28 PM 889 Views
No idea what you are on about. snoopcester - 22/03/2012 10:37:39 PM 951 Views
This is what Dutch rye bread looks like Helene - 23/03/2012 05:23:28 AM 865 Views
That looks awesome. I wanna try it *NM* Urza - 23/03/2012 07:28:10 AM 449 Views
Huh. nossy - 23/03/2012 12:37:35 PM 878 Views
It's good that you are positively predisposed towards this bread Helene - 25/03/2012 03:14:50 PM 997 Views
I *think* I've already had it. Or something close. nossy - 26/03/2012 02:02:30 PM 931 Views
Your rye bread is all wrong kHz1000 - 23/03/2012 06:46:01 AM 901 Views
Orrrr, "my" rye bread is really awesome. nossy - 23/03/2012 12:43:54 PM 831 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 438 Views
