Hold the fuckin' phone, yo - GOOD GLUTEN-FREE BREAD!

[logansrogue]

Mum is an angel. Such an angel, you have no idea.

While she was in Germany she told me she'd eaten this wonderful gluten-free bread that actually tasted bread-y. If any of you are GF, you know how hard this is to find. It's like the Holy Grail of the Gluten-Free Diet. It's up there with Gluten-Free Croissaints and Gluten-Free Doughnuts.

Anyway, she told me last week that she'd bought some GF bread over the net, and I was all, "Oh, that's nice! Awesome!"

I had no inkling of how awesome it really was. It arrived today. It's like a pana sort of bread, brown-ish, with whole grains of something in there. It has an absolutely DELIRIOUS malty taste to it. I don't know how they did it. You sniff it, and it SMELLS like real bread. That wheat-y, delicious smell. Smother it in whatever margarine or whatever you use on bread cause it's a bit dry. And after you've eated it, you can ever-so-slightly taste the grit. That's how you know it's real Gluten-Free bread.

But OH OH OH it's so good! I had it at first with margarine and it was SO NICE. Then I had it with peanut butter! PEANUT BUTTER AND BREAD. OH HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!

Things I will have with this bread in the future:

- Chicken, avocado and mayonnaise.
- Toasted with vegemite.
- Toasted with BUTTER.
- Just bread and butter.
- A HAM SANDWICH.
- A TURKEY SANDWICH. WITH CRANBERRY JAM.
- FRIED-EGG CHILLI CHUTNEY SANDWICHES. I HAVEN'T HAD THEM SINCE 2004!!!

I'd eat them now but I'm stuffed on bread and fruit. I SHALL ENJOY LUNCH TODAY, Y'ALL.


Okay, the brand, which I've forgotten to tell you. It is:

"RUSTICO" by Schar. The A in Schar has an umlaut over the top. I don't know how to find that on my keyboard, sadly. Oh, if you don't know what an umlaut is, it's those two dots over vowels in German words.

I HEARTILY RECOMMEND THIS BRAND.

If I ever play in a hardcore German goth metal band, I want to call it Umlaut.

That's like having a hardcore goth death metal band and calling it "Comma". LOL!

how wonderful for you

As german...I think it is funny that your mother found this kind of bread in Germany, we're something like the kings of bread^^. You should listen to Germans who life in USA or any other country when they start listing what they miss the most...it's german bread because we apparently are crazy to have dark bread, corny bread and all.

Anyway on another note you can write any umlaut out for example:
ä ---> ae
ü ---> ue
In web you can't use umlaut proper so they all go by that. www.schaer.com that's where you can get more^^.

Have fun.

I see 'umlaut' and my mind immediately goes to 'heavy metal umlaut'. It's not big or clever, but it's endless hilarious to me

I'm on a wheat-free diet. I found awful millet bread (grains stuck in my teeth like popcorn). I found some decent almond bread. Not something I could have with a sandwich because it's a little too solid, but great for toast with peanut butter or butter.

I bet they don't sell your brand in the U.S. D:

They don't sell my brand here in Australia. Mum had to order it online.

Today I'm bloated and gassy. I didn't have any cramps as such, just gas pain. Which I think is a result of eating all those tiny bubbles of air that are in the bread. I always get that when I eat bread. But it's not that horrible inflamed bloat from wheat, so I should be okay.

Or, it could be the bread crumbs Mum coated some pork balls in last night that I ate rather greedily. I mean, I had three, but I NEVER eat wheat so maybe that was it.

I did look online, and yes, it is available in the US. The company has an online store. I don't know if you'd be able to find it in any European speciality grocery store (if one's around in your area), though.

Rob is a coeliac (sorry, I just noticed this from way back) and we found Schar bread in its distinctive yellow packaging at Loose Produce, and have seen it popping up everywhere at IGAs, also Prima if you're anywhere near Stirling. So keep a look out if you haven't spotted it before now.

Yeah, Tina mentioned that she'd got some at the Supa IGA on Stirling Highway near where I live. Thanks :D
