Thanks to the new diet the naturopath put me on I haven't had bread (or any wheat/yeast) in about 4 weeks. I miss it so much.

Oh.. and kamut/spelt soda bread doesnt' count

Also.. no bread means no use for my jam i made this summer

strawberry, peach, and apricot.

Wow. That Professor Bread video was hilarious

Shigzeo; When life gives you white bread...make french toast.

For me it's Pain Au Levain by the Acme Bread Co. in Berkeley, with breakfast, toasted with unsalted butter; for lunch a fromage d'affinois, prosciutto panini; with dinner, plain maybe w/olive oil if we having Italian.

The best bread-bakeries near me are Vietnamese. They have as strong French influence culturally and their baguettes are UNBELIEVABLE!! Fresh/warm out of the oven in the morning with some butter and expresso.. FTW!!

My wife, being half vietnamese knows all the good hole in the wall (IE cash-only) places

generous drizzel of olive oil and some balsamic vinegar... Mmm hellof a midnight snack. Sometimes we get it at Trader Joes, but they are not as fresh.

this thread is making me hungry... I'm going downstairs to get some ...NOW!!

BRB,

And their Banh mi are excellent. There are a couple of places I go to in the East Bay.

I'm back

Some EVOO, Balsamic and toasted baguettes.

The little things on the left are a mild flavor pork-based Vietnamese lunchmeat called... "Zaw", sort of Rhymes with "thaw".

I am also a big fan of bread, I will eat anything. The only thing I dislike is thick sliced white bread like you mentioned, especially wonderbread. The only way I can eat these is if I toast them. My favorite snack is multigrain bread, toasted, with pasta sauce spread over top and a little bit of melted cheese. Reminds me of pizza and is much healthier/easier to make.

I am eating wonder bread right now just to spite the bread snobs.

mate, you are killing yourself i am sure. i have held the stuff before and it wrapped itself around my finger by gravity. i wadded it up and threw it ... like clay or something. be very careful.

yesterday, i bought some bread from the local travelling baker and well... it was japanese. some had nice things inside, but no way to make anything other than dessert out of it.

so what did i do? i had dessert for breakfast! there is azuki red bean inside these little brown balls. hmmm, ive had better and worse, but at least is it not the rubbish they advertise on television all the time: yamazaki (like wonderbread but thicker and ... i think it smiles!)

Forget all that. Just go for the natto and rice, the breakfast of champions.

Agreed, there's a Vietnamese sandwich shop called Ba-Le Sandwich & Bakery (actually there's quite a few of them) near where I live that makes excellent Bánh mì and Vietnamese baguettes.

I forgot about French Toast, love them in the mornings piping hot with lots of syrup. Another one of my favorite bread and one of the best that I've ever eaten (whenever I can get it) is Molokai bread baked fresh everyday by Kanemitsu's Bakery & Restaurant in Kaunakakai, Molokai.

fresh naan (sp) bread is also very delicious. Hot and greasy right from the oven (or whatever that thing they fire them in is called), dipped in some exotically spiced sauce. mmmm!

I am pretty sure that white bread will be the last thing that kills me.

Having real bread from a real farmer's market makes eating grocery store bread impossible. Any type tastes amazing, and you can easily go crazy with veggies and other topings, but toasted raisin bread + lemon curd is an awesome quick/school day breakfast combo.
