The Densest Bread On Earth


Advertising does work! After much time spent watching Latin American Fútbol on Univision I found myself standing in front of a bag of BIMBO bread at my local super market. I looked to its American counter parts then back to the bag dawning the literally stupid name. With a pinkie raised I plucked it from the shelve silently patting myself on the back for eating foreign.
As fate would have it I went on to find Bar S bologna on sale for a dollar! It is not often one can purchase a pound of meat (let alone three different meats ground and formed into a plastic encased log) for a dollar. Dinner was served; subsequent breakfasts and lunches followed.
It's no wonder our friends to the South have such energy to Fútbol and riot, with a belly full of BIMBO my hunger was beaten like so many pinatas. The imported bleached wheat loaf is much more dense than any I had ever tasted. Now, some would argue this was due impart to its long hot ride in the back of an eighteen-wheeler, but I believe it's damn fine bread. Gracias amigos!
