Day 255 - Whole Wheat Bread

In our continued quest to find a decent bread at Trader Joe’s, we got this loaf – WHOLE WHEAT 
bread.
I'm not gonna lie - we have been burned by Trader Joe's bread before, and I was nervous to try again...
Fail.

I mean, not like a TOTAL UTTER DISGUSTING MAKES ME WANT TO THROW THE WHOLE LOAF AWAY fail, but a NAH, THIS ONE IS NOT GOOD EITHER AND I DO NOT WANT TO BUY IT AGAIN fail.


Good for a "bread transition" - huh?
 Dings again this bread:
·         It is dry. 
·         It is hard. 
·         It is boring. 
·         It doesn’t taste much. 
·         It tastes (and sort of looks) like cardboard.
·         It is bland.

Things in support of this bread:
·         It holds together well so your sandwich doesn’t fall apart as you eat it.
·         It doesn’t get worse as it gets older (which kinda sorta isn’t really a “support” item, in that it just kind of means it was bad in the beginning and keeps being bad…).


The bread DID hold sandwiches together quite well, I will give it that much.
I really like whole wheat bread if it is tasty.  This version is not.

Price – $2.49
Rating – 2.5

  1. Have you ever tried the Tuscan Pane bread? It's a really excellent loaf, and they make a whole wheat version as well- not a squishy sandwich loaf but has actual "bready" flavor. Makes some excellent toast too.

    1. Oh man. I do not think we have tried that one... But now that you MENTION it, I sort of feel OBLIGATED to try it... I was kind of hoping I would not eat any more TJ's bread this year. It's just that I have been BURNED... Ok. Deep breath. Get back on the horse. :)
