white rice loaf.
i decided last night, as i was walking around the grocery store that i... kinda liked going gluten free.
i felt healthier. my body felt lighter. it required a lot of work, and cooking, and was more expensive than your typical processed, sort of normal american food diet, but...
it worked for me. so.. why not?
as i rounded the "healthy" section of the grocery store (i.e. food-snob section, as i used to think of it. still kind of
i weighed my options, made a command decision, cursed the $4.50 price tag, picked up my white rice loaf of um... "bread".. and went on my way.
when i got home, after unloading the goods, the first thing i did was make a delicious ham/turkey sandwich. full of flavor and sandwichy goodness.
it?! was gross.
yeah. um. if they're going to charge that kind ofmoney for fake bread, they should try not to make it taste like cardboard.
yuck. i don't recommend it.

From my experience with things like "Chik'n" and "Meatless Meatballs" I have fully decided that if you are trying to make something unnaturally taste like something else, that it will almost always be gross...

yeah. my mom is celiac (no gluten allowed) and she had to bake her own bread on the weekends and then freeze it. everything else was too awful...

oh no! i'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with gf bread! i have to say though, the ener-G brand can be hit or miss. i'm a celiac so all i eat is gf bread and have found there are plenty of good kinds out there without having to bake my own.. and they are not THAT expensive considering it is "special" bread. let me know if you can't find any!

$4.50??!! Yikes.
I kinda chuckled when I noticed your picture was taken on the floor, rather than counter or table. Heehee! :)

I did GF last summer. I absolutely felt better, but because of the cost I quit. In a perfect world, everything would be GF. There is a good Yahoo! group about GF lifestyle that has recipes and people who do it because they HAVE to.

take it back! there are other gluten-free breads at the health food store that don't totally suck. one has some biblical name (can't remember it) and it's in the frozen food section. not too sucky. Ezekial!!! that's the name.
