The bread thread
I eat my weight in bread weekly. I find this relevant to cycling because it's the fuel that keeps me commuting, and racing. Most cyclists I know eat the stuff by the pound, or drink by the six pack like a junkie looking for a bump.
So, if you're one of the many who also eats his/her weight weekly in bread... tell us about it.
I like sourdough myself.

i eat so much bread its ridiculous. a co-worker of mine (baker at the cafe i work at) bakes at home and always hooks me up with baguettes and loaves of delicious, fresh bread.
i cook for a living, and one of my favorite things to make at home is french toast with sourdough bread, crushed pecans or almonds and honey instead of syrup, yum!

I eat more green veggies and protein than grains. I could eat an endless amount of "sweetbreads" like banana or pumpkin bread though, as long as it dont have processed sugar in it.
When i lived out of dumpsters i ate a lot more grains though cuz it filled me up easily.

well, i was known as the 'bread boy' amongst my family because at restaurants i'd always gorge myself on the rolls/breadsticks/whatever kind of bread that comes before the meal and have to put my entre in a box. to this day i always buy day old bread from jimmy johns and eat it before i get to my sammich.

A true baguette with a good amount of Nutella on it and maybe some walnuts, with some oatmeal with honey and more walnuts is probably the best breakfast I can imagine.
I also like making a super basic pasta dish with farfelle, salt, pesto, cilantro and red chili flakes.

It's been Dempster's 12 grain for me (3-4 slices for lunch and dinner) - I did go through a rye/caraway rye bread stage, but I'm on the wholegrain stuff again. I'll throw in an odd bagel here or there, but that's about it for me - I eat 3 slices of bread, a can of baked beans (in maple syrup) and a can of tuna - sometimes beans AND tuna sometimes just one of them, for lunch day in-day out pretty much - lots o' fibre/protein to fuel me... oh, and a banana.

What's the different between whole wheat and multi grain bread?
Why are baguettes in the US so horrible compared to them in France? Is the air better for making bread over there or something? They taste so different its not even the same thing over here! If I had access to real french baguettes I would have one of those for every meal with butter for breakfast, cheese for lunch, and rotisserie chicken for dinner.

Multigrain has more types of grain than just wheat.

multigrain doesnt mean whole wheat, they could just add different grains but still be bad for you. whole grain means they use the WHOLE grain, not just the refined parts.

Hell yes. I do two loaves of this SUPER dense unleavened wheat every day + young Gouda cheese and bananas and apples. So good, so cheap.

Panini
I also consume more fruits/vegetables than grains but I do have a new addiction -
My sister gave me a panini grille for Christ-mass and danged if those aren't the best cooking devices ever. Take your favorite artisan flat-loaf bread, add just about anything you want (I've made mac & cheese versions), bit of olive oil on the outside and then squish it in the grille.
I sometimes make half a loaf at a time and take some for left-overs the next morning. Mmm... oily grilled goodness.
