Trader Joe’s Bavarian Rye Bread Instead of a Bagel?
Trader Joe's Bavarian Rye Bread
Are you looking for new bread? Do you want something a little different for your next sandwich?
If you, RUN to Trader Joe’s today and give this bread a try: Trader Joe’s Bavarian Rye Bread. We recently ate a loaf of this bread and enjoyed every last crumb!
It is funny how it happened. We were looking for a bagel to have with some Smoked Salmon and cream cheese and did not see anything that really grabbed us. I mean Trader Joe’s has lots of great bagels, but quite frankly we were in search of a new flavor. We started to expand away from the bagel section and into the tortilla area when we spotted this loaf.
We did not know it at the time, but it was just what we were looking for.
We sorta had an A-HA moment right there in the store! We quickly purchased the bread, some Trader Joe’s whipped cream cheese with Chives and a smoked salmon. Oh Yeah breakfast was a calling! (all we needed now was to purchase a Sunday paper…hint hint Trader Joe’s…)
We toasted the bread while the coffee was brewing. Then pretending the slices of bread were actually toasted bagels, spread the cream cheese on and arranged the salmon slices on top.
Trader Joe's Bavarian Rye "bagel"
Funny but this discovery might actually be BETTER than the bagel (eeks!)
The bread was thinner than a bagel would be and WOW the flavor from that Rye Bread- Just Excellent!! (and no pesky seeds!) This made the flavor from the cream cheese and the salmon seem somehow stronger without that extra bread… hmmmm
We are so glad that we ventured out and away from the usual bagel to try something new.
Give this bread a try when you are next searching for a new flavor for your sandwiches (or bagels as well)
This is the way Russians and Scandinavians eat smoked salmon. I also use this bread toasted with our fried eggs or an omlet for breakfast. Just add some Irish unsalted butter.
We too love this bread toasted with butter…. yum!
I too love “real bavarian rye bread”, but unfortunately have only found it in the Phoenix area. I frequently visit the San Francisco area and am unable to find it. The version here is crumbly, tasteless and baked in the shape of “white bread” loaves. I’m told that each region has its own supplier. The bakery for the Bay Area should not be allowed to call this awful bread “bavarian rye”! I’m going to Phoenix and packing my checked bag full of the “real thing” to bring back to enjoy in the Bay Area!!!!!
Hmmm… that is disappointing 🙁
This is thursday, 4/11/14. We were told that that traderjoes bavarian rye bread was discontinued: WHY, WHY, WHY??? Very disapointing. SACRAMENTO, CALIF.(CITRUS HEIGHTS REGION)
That really sucks! I hate it when I love a product and it goes away…. My suggestion is to ask at your Trader Joe’s if they can tell you where they got the bread? Maybe you can find it at another nearby store?? Good Luck!
I tried asking the Consumer relations department at Trader Joes corp. a few months ago. They said “I’m not sure why it was discontinued. It might have been a bakery thing. Please call back at a later date and we should have an answer for you”.
Well I called back a few weeks ago, and the nice lady still didn’t have an answer.
I’ve asked three store managers in the area, and none of them had a reason, only that; “no idea why, just that corporate show it’s discontinued in our book”.
It’s too bad, as it was very good bread with no Sugar added. It’s hard to find that in a bread, at a reasonable price. Whole Foods has a bread similar (with no sugar added) at $7.50 a loaf !!!!
I was thinking you might try a local bakery? Good Luck!
