Ick. Rye bread? Could I get that yummy dilectable on something more appealing... wheat, perhaps? But certainly not "white bread" - may as well call it Pasteurized Process Bread Food. The modern, factory-produced wonder bread is to real bread what cheez is to cheese.

Which isn't to say there is no such thing as "good" white bread. Real, fresh-baked white bread is quite good. It just doesn't resemble the common "white bread" in very many respects, is all. :-}
