Christmas Tree 4005 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 The fella's away till Tuesday so I'm taking the opportunity to go veggie for a few days (I'd call it detox, but with the Fish's birthday drinks tonight and Matt's tomorrow... ). Tomorrow I'll be rustling up the usual batch of curries that look like baby sick, but for today it's Brock's tried-and-tested ratatouille with eggs poached in the same pan, served with toasted rye bread on the side. What's this rye bread all about then? A few of you have mentioned it of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I've been on Wiki but I just need a simple answer! "Rye bread is a type of bread made with various percentages of flour from rye grain." - the first line on Wikipedia. Fucking hell man, I despair.

Fucking hell man, I despair. I read that man! It doesn't explain why all of a sudden people keep mentioning it. Is it trendy now? Is it better than wholemeal for you? Does it have some special taste? Does it make great toast? Why rye and not mothers pride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 See, this is helpful. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-104785/How-good-loaf.html Rye/pumpernickel Popular in Scandinavia and Germany, rye breads as such as pumpernickel or 'black bread', as it is sometimes called, are something of an acquired taste. Rye flour contains very little gluten, which explains why rye breads tend to have a heavier texture. Rye breads, particularly pumpernickel, have a very low glycaemic index (GI), which means that they are converted into sugar very slowly. This will help to keep you feeling full for longer and prevent a big increase in insulin levels. 1 medium slice/35g= 65 calories, 0.4g fat, 1.9g protein, 2.7g fibre, 0.2g sodium/0.5g salt.

Meenzer 14229 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 It doesn't explain why all of a sudden people keep mentioning it. Is it trendy now? You don't have to use the word "trendy" with such obvious suspicion. Anyway, I mentioned it several months ago in this very thread, when I made some on the same weekend as the last batch of baby-shit curries. Is it better than wholemeal for you? Don't know, don't care. Does it have some special taste? Aye, it tastes of rye. Does it make great toast? It makes great toast. Posted this photo at the time. Why rye and not mothers pride? Why anything and not anything else? It's just another type of bread. There are quite a lot of them out there. This is the recipe I used, anyway - with a bit more rye flour and a bit less white flour, because I'm nails like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
