    Back East, probably in the early-90’s or so, our local supermarket had some frozen, German* bread that was absolutely DENSE with seeds & whole grains (I think it had 19 total). Kind of a miracle it even held together, really.

    * or something like that

    Eating it plain was not unlike eating a slab of heavy cardboard, but it toasted up mighty fine, mighty fine. Then some salty butter on top, and it went from ‘heavy cardboard’ to amazing grace. A couple slices prepared that way was like eating a hearty meal is what I’m testifying here.

    Sadly, I recall that supermarket later rebranding, and the bread was gone. I never could find its like again, and I’ve been half-arse looking for years. Bah.

      They had a “seed and grain” and a “seed” bread to pick from. We thought about it for three seconds and decided the seed and grain option sounded just too healthy. I knew I was going to toast it for the BLTs but go raw for the chicken salad and the cardboard factor you mentioned was going to be an issue.
