BBB,
The French baguettes baked in Loreto are done by the Mission hotel, and Dali was (is?) selling them. Friends have said that they are good. I've
tried them and I don't think they are. Bolillos from either bakery in town can be heated in a grill or a very hot oven to crisp the crust, and while
they aren't baguettes, they are good with clam. Bolillos from El Boleo are much better, though still not french bread.
Actually, the bread that Pachamama served with the chimichurri was from Superpan Garcia. I often ran into Leon or Ale buying bolillos there. They
just knew how to handle them. Now that the restaurant is closed, I think it is OK to reveal this secret.
And Bimbo Linaza is good enough to eat!

You could say this post is a total copout.
This year I have bought Bimbo 7 grain. It is my favorite in Mulege. You can get it at Saul's. People rave over the boleos at the french bakery in
Santa Rosalia. I don't think they are that good. I am spoiled having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for three decades.
My solution: I just bought the top of the line bread machine from Zojirushi. I am practicing with good results. Mmmmmm! I will take it to Mulege when
I return at the end of the year. True, I will probably have to haul the good bread flour with me too. I can get yeast there.

the only Bimbo bread I will eat is the Linaza (subject of this thread) that also has oats, sunflower seeds and other yummy stuff...it's easy to
confuse with the other 5 grain bread...but it's the only one with black seeds on the label and says LINAZA in big letters.
Now, the bakery in sta.rosalia makes a pretty darn good whole wheat french style long bagette with sesame seeds that makes a killer garlic bread
loaf....and our own nomad Redmesa and Nancy the artist make wonderful homemade breads...thank goodness for new residents....

Why do you bash Bimbo so much, it is what it is, sliced bread that goes well with your average slice of ham and some mayo

That's the other thing I bash.........Mexican lunch meats. They all taste and look like ham. Even when they are pavo.
I've had the Bimbo Linaza bread. It's still enriched wheat flour with most all of the wheat berry removed. It sure ain't whole wheat bread. The
consistency is like all the other Mexican wheat breads; something akin to white Wonder bread.
Jesse, get yourself some REAL whole wheat or wheat berry bread from Orowheat. Just a different animal altogether. However, they are about 50% more
expensive than typical mexican style wheat breads, so I'm not sure Bimbo will market them everywhere in Mexico.

I buy Oroweat all the time, CCC carries it because Bimbo owns it now. Thats what i been using for years, but you can´t beat a regular bimbo sandwich
and a slice of bologna to remember the good old days.

Toneart - Zojirushi (Rearing Elepant Logo)
Makes very good appliances. I passed on my small one to my daughter when a Filipina friend gave us a much larger Sunpenton rice cooker (think
Japanese sushi restaurant size) along with her family's adobo recipe and other good stuff.
That little Zohirushi rice cooker is going on twenty years old now and still turning out great cooked rice.

MAN....That is scarey. Ive seen another mystery food lately. Ham and cheese sandwiches wrapped in clear plastic and hanging by the register in
convenience stores. No refrigeration required.
I don't understand.

Funny, my Bimbo bread goes bad after a week outside. Maybe your sitting in a UFO crash site?

Boy, Jesse, I've never had a bag of Bimbo get moldy or visibly "bad". And sometimes it sits around for quite a while.
And if that sandwich in the picture above is the special next time i"m lucky enough to get to Tres Virgenes for dinner, can I have my baloney fried?
Actually, I'll hope for a better special!

Bimbo
There's humor in the very name. Many different connotations depending on where you were raised. I think what people object to is that it reminds us of
Wonder Bread. That was the staple white bread that turned back to dough in your stomach and had no nutritional value. It wasn't until the 1960s that
we even started to become conscious of what we ate. Oh, there were the "health food fanatics" in Hollywood, but they were pretty much discredited
because they were eccentric and odd. (Europe has always had good bread).
I had a French girlfriend who was in her mid 30s when I was a teenager in Los Angeles. She always took me to the health food store in Hollywood. You
can only imagine the education I got from her. 
Anyway, she ended up with a tapeworm. That pretty much ended the relationship. It was Wonder Bread from then on for me...until I grew a mind of my
own.
Edited for this addendum:
When I was a young kid, the fat kids down the street used to put unblotted bacon, gobs of peanut butter and Mayonnaise on white Wonder Bread.
