How about toast? Sandwiches? French toast?

2. The BBB sandwich
Which, of course, means "bacon, bacon and more bacon."

Make this by putting a pound of bacon between two slices of toast.

4. My father who grew up in the 1930's told me that white store bought bread was a treat.
All he got at home was cornbread and biscuits and lucky to have that.

I have a bread maker and make my own bread, the cycle turns.

5. It's a little kinky to make French toast with sliced bread.
Hard to get the proper heft and thickness that way.

7. Mountain Pie Maker......white bread is the best:



My favorite recipe from camping as a kid:

Two buttered pieces of white bread

apple pie filling

cinnamon and sugar

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Place a piece of bread buttered side down on one side of the iron

Spoon pie filling into the middle, sprinke with cinnamon and sugar

Place the other piece of bread on top, buttered side up

Close iron

Place in hot coals and wait for delicious goodness!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course there are tons of variations and ingredients!

9. Can any northeastern Texans confirm
that Mrs Baird's is the best white bread in the universe? (amongst pillowy soft, store bought breads, that is?)

I grew up in Dallas and didn't realize how great Mrs Baird's is until I could no longer have it.

I pine so much for Mrs. Bairds Bread that my wife is sick of me talking about it. We have been married for 25 years and she won't take me to the grocery store with her if she knows she'll buying bread because she knows I'll just whine about how much it all sucks compared to Mrs. Bairds.

If she sends me to the store for bread she knows I will just go to the bakery section and get half a loaf of some weird seedy grainy crap in protest. Occupy Wall Street? Fuck, occupy the bread aisle! (FWIW, I love seedy grainy crap - I love all real bread. BUt I really really really miss my moist, soft sack of preservatives and additives. Nothing made a better PB&J.)

Plus I believe the Mrs Bairds people also supplied buns to local hamburger joints. I grew up with Sonic in Dallas and those burgers were great so I was all excited about getting some here in Florida but I was crushed to find out hey get their bread from somewhere else here and it just isn't the same. Maybe in the 40 years since I lived in Dallas other changes have been made but the most glaring problem is the bread.
