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? - 21/03/2012 03:50:15 AM 1235 Views
I know! - 21/03/2012 03:53:19 AM 820 Views
Exactly! - 21/03/2012 03:56:34 AM 869 Views
If you eat tuna salad, you have lost any credibility to comment tastefully on culinary matters. *NM* - 21/03/2012 05:00:29 AM 396 Views
Don't be silly. *NM* - 22/03/2012 05:04:45 PM 417 Views
I'm not. *NM* - 22/03/2012 07:48:52 PM 397 Views
Maybe it was a one-time thing. *NM* - 22/03/2012 09:51:23 PM 393 Views
It tastes like I imagine sweaty socks would, that's how. - 21/03/2012 04:59:14 AM 788 Views
- 21/03/2012 11:10:01 PM 811 Views
It depends on the rye bread. - 21/03/2012 01:40:07 PM 778 Views
Isn't that super dark and dense? - 22/03/2012 09:52:23 PM 764 Views
Ehh. I don't like most... "darker" breads, maybe? - 21/03/2012 02:01:17 PM 786 Views
Weirdo. - 22/03/2012 09:53:37 PM 905 Views
I don't always like it because it can be dry and I hate dry food - 21/03/2012 02:47:35 PM 798 Views
I think you've had bad rye bread. - 22/03/2012 09:54:22 PM 822 Views
do you have any suggestions? *NM* - 23/03/2012 12:01:14 AM 433 Views
Try it from a nice bakery? - 23/03/2012 12:46:29 PM 705 Views
Because they're crazy. - 21/03/2012 03:04:26 PM 806 Views
Exactly. - 22/03/2012 09:54:40 PM 724 Views
It's not that rye bread is bad... - 21/03/2012 07:13:18 PM 793 Views
Um... - 22/03/2012 09:55:01 PM 707 Views
Because it tastes revoltingly? - 21/03/2012 07:32:55 PM 844 Views
Did you have it there? - 22/03/2012 09:56:32 PM 1066 Views
Huh. Looks like there are actually lots of types of rye bread. - 21/03/2012 08:01:11 PM 875 Views
That just looks like very ordinary bread... - 21/03/2012 09:35:20 PM 795 Views

It's probably easier for you to try and get hold of some pumpernickel. - 21/03/2012 10:22:34 PM 829 Views
i actually really like the TASTE of pumpernickel. - 21/03/2012 11:07:27 PM 762 Views
This is what I think of. Denser. - 22/03/2012 05:09:31 AM 829 Views
That looks like what I would call rye bread too. *NM* - 22/03/2012 07:54:52 PM 418 Views
Meh. *NM* - 21/03/2012 08:36:12 PM 390 Views
Because they don't pair it with the proper flavors. It needs to go with something that has a kick. - 22/03/2012 12:03:40 AM 776 Views
The only time I have liked rye is when it was part of a reuben. - 22/03/2012 12:56:33 PM 857 Views
They have now been educated. - 22/03/2012 10:00:15 PM 767 Views
Good question - 22/03/2012 12:10:30 AM 724 Views
Got one? *NM* - 22/03/2012 10:03:48 PM 422 Views
The one thing I can say with definitiveness... - 23/03/2012 12:35:34 AM 789 Views
Put a burger and some cheese on it with fried onions and its good - 22/03/2012 01:20:48 PM 820 Views
A patty melt? - 22/03/2012 10:05:01 PM 811 Views
Taste buds. The answer has something to do with having taste buds.... - 22/03/2012 08:02:24 PM 788 Views
I've seen you eat rye! - 22/03/2012 10:04:37 PM 734 Views
Did you promise him sex? I'd eat a spoonful of mayo if my wife promised sex as a reward. - 22/03/2012 10:14:46 PM 863 Views
How on earth can you hate mayo? - 22/03/2012 10:31:08 PM 733 Views
I'm with TMJ on this one. - 22/03/2012 11:45:00 PM 813 Views
Re: I'm with TMJ on this one. - 23/03/2012 12:05:42 AM 840 Views
I'm with him on the general idea but not eating mayo for sex. - 23/03/2012 12:40:57 AM 703 Views
I didn't say you should put it on your sandwiches. Put it on your fries. - 23/03/2012 07:30:59 PM 675 Views
Not a good idea... - 23/03/2012 09:36:16 PM 751 Views
You must have missed my "good" (i.e. Belgian) qualifier. - 23/03/2012 10:24:43 PM 780 Views
Re: You must have missed my "good" (i.e. Belgian) qualifier. - 24/03/2012 03:08:03 AM 693 Views
Mayonnaise is revolting. *NM* - 23/03/2012 12:38:34 AM 413 Views
I also detest mayo. *NM* - 23/03/2012 09:04:37 PM 388 Views
Don't you remember - 23/03/2012 09:23:47 PM 816 Views
i've had homemade mayo and I still dislike it - 24/03/2012 03:51:26 AM 624 Views
I suspect.... - 24/03/2012 01:52:48 PM 788 Views
this is possible, as I'm also very finicky about eggs. *NM* - 24/03/2012 02:51:59 PM 378 Views
Why would I want competition for the bread? - 23/03/2012 12:39:28 PM 823 Views
No idea what you are on about. - 22/03/2012 10:37:39 PM 880 Views
This is what Dutch rye bread looks like - 23/03/2012 05:23:28 AM 791 Views
That looks awesome. I wanna try it *NM* - 23/03/2012 07:28:10 AM 422 Views
Huh. - 23/03/2012 12:37:35 PM 813 Views
It's good that you are positively predisposed towards this bread - 25/03/2012 03:14:50 PM 922 Views
I *think* I've already had it. Or something close. - 26/03/2012 02:02:30 PM 863 Views
Your rye bread is all wrong - 23/03/2012 06:46:01 AM 837 Views
Orrrr, "my" rye bread is really awesome. - 23/03/2012 12:43:54 PM 768 Views
