This is another one of those Trader Joe’s products where I
reallllly wanted to like it. We have tried several Trader Joe’s breads and
they always fall short of my expectations.
Is it too much to want a bread this is not dry, tastes good, and lasts
more than 2 days? Maybe my standards are
too high…

| It is a cute boule of bread |
First the good stuff:
1.
It is a perfect size for our household of 2
people.
2.
It is a pretty color.
3.
It is cheap.
Now the not so good stuff:
1.
It is
HARD. If you toast it, be warned, you
will not be able to bite through the toast with any ease at all.
2.
It goes stale very quickly, and by stale I mean
EVEN HARDER than it was the first time you opened it, which, if you have been
paying attention, was really quite hard.
3.
It is really DRY.

So even though there are an even number of “good stuff”s
vs. “bad stuff”s, to me the bad stuffs outweigh the good stuffs in this
instance.
Petite Poopy Pain Pauline is not perfect. Not even close.
Note – David liked it better than me. He says it is a particular French bread taste
in a small package.
