How come rye bread is packaged so differently than wheat, white,
mutli-grain bread?

Inquiring minds need to know.

It depends on the type of rye. That dark stuff is built to last. Softer
lighter ryes are usually packed in plastic similar to white breads.
Bakery fresh rye is usually package in paper bags. Fresh rye is arare
commodity around here. The few times I have had it I was really, really
impressed.

What are you talking about? What kind of rye breads? What kind of
white or multi-grain?

It is rare to find 100% rye unless you go to a specialty bakery, such
as German or Nordic. Sometimes you can find cocktail rye, though, in
pre-packs at groceries. But most ryes available in groceries are
mainly AP flour with some rye.

What I mean is this: store-bought rye bread is warpped in a crispy
kind of cellophane (?) with the ends folded over and sealed. White,
wheat, &tc. are mostly wrapped in an inner plastic and then an outer
plastic bag that is sealed with a plastic tab.

Why?

And Boron and Sqwetz, your replies appear as "no longer available" on
my Agent newsreader. I've been getting that a lot lately.

Thanks though.

It's not the reader it's the server. Forteinc was sucking so I
switched back to eternal-september. No more problems.

This has to do with the store where you purchase your bread, not any
specific bread practice. It might depend on whether the breads were
baked in the store or received already baked, and if the latter,
whether they arrived already wrapped.

I use Agent, too. That message does not appear from within the
program, but is a message you are getting from your Usenet provider.

In 1992, I was in Vancouver, and I found some Dimpfelmeir rye bread
there. The bread was made in Toronto, a few thousand miles away.
The last time(2003)I was in Vancouver, I no longer found that bread,
although the business is still operational.

Regional differences? Our bread (can't speak for balloon bread and
the other cheap stuff) is wrapped like your rye and then it's put into
a plastic bag and closed with a tab.

Next time, try "Mark Available", wait a while and refresh. You can
often connect bodies with headers that way - but I pretty much gave up
on APN because they are so out of sync.

Some of us think rye bread tastes better. They do it as a service to us
as a segment of their customer market. That's my story and I'm sticking
to it.

I'm pretty sure the Jewish rye bread my father used to buy was in a paper
bag, but that was a long time ago. Recently I picked up a loaf from
Pittsburghs bread works. Tastes about the best I have had in a long time,
and also has that rugged feel, thick crust. It came in a plastic bag.
