I bought a loaf from Mama Jeans health food store, because I was craving a sandwich. On my first try eating it I was disgusted. It had this kind of explainable tang to it. Then I did some poking around online and found out that it should be toasted first for best results. OMG! I have a new favorite food item. It's so much better toasted. So far I've made it with "peanut butter & banana" and "avocado, tomato, sprouts, & mustard". I'm in love after almost trashing it. And it has a crazy shelf life if you keep it zip-locked in the fridge. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it yet? If you like it? And what you top it with? (open face and only half a slice of course).

<<< it's too big to eat a whole slice, I use only half a slice.

From the ingredients list it looks like a bread you can buy at every grocery store in Germany (Mestemacher is a German company) . Try their Pumpernickel bread if you can get a hand on it.

However, I'm wondering why you thought it's disgusting when not toasted. Never thought of toasting this kind of bread so far.

I'll have to see what other flavors they have. I haven't had pumpernickel bread since I was a kid. As far as the flavor, its just overwhelming, kind of vinegary if it's not toasted. But toasting it took care of that issue, and it's pretty good.

I haven't had ANY bread except the occasional bite of tortilla since surgery. I haven't missed it but this lo good
