Good Bimbo Bread (Really!)
I know, I know - you can go to town inserting all the appropriate jokes in the responses, but I just discovered this very good whole grain bread made
by Bimbo called "Bimbo Multigrano Linaza".
Contents: whole wheat, linseed, sunflower seed, sesame seed and oats. It's also fortified with Omega 3 oil, but, most importantly, it tastes good!
The individual slices are soft when taken out of the bag for sandwiches and they also toast up beautifully, with a lovely crunch and great aroma.
Even the little market in the ejido next to us carries it regularly, so if you are interested, check with your local grocer and if he carries Bimbo
products, I'm sure he can get some in for you.

And when you by those Entenmann's pastries or Oroweat bread, just remember, these are also Bimbo products.
They are one of the "biggies" in baking.
From Wikipedia
On December 10, 2008 it was announced that Grupo Bimbo bought WFI (Weston Foods Inc.) a subsidiary of George Weston Ltd. for $2.38 billion, making
Grupo Bimbo one of the largest bakery companies in the USA. They now own brands such as Arnold®, Boboli®, Brownberry®, Entenmann's®, Freihofer's®,
Stroehmann®, and Thomas'®, plus 22 factories and 4,000 delivery trucks.

I Vaguely Remember
That I read somewhere that Bimbo is the world's largest producer of baked goods.

I get a kick out of some of the brand names in Mexico, Bimbo being one. Two others that come to mind are the line of cold cuts in the grocery stores
called "FUD." Pronounced FOOD. Why not?
The other is a bar soap manufacturer who's product is named "GRISI." pronounced "GREASY."
Oh well...you had to be there.

Shari turned me on to that bread and I agree it is the best available
However...it will still last at least two weeks not in the frig and who knows how long in?
I wish that we got Boboli here. It makes such good pizzas

Their plan is to be the largest by 2010. Expansion to China is part of that effort.

Wish they would start making or importing Orowheat products down here.
Nothing compares to Health Nut and Wheat Berry breads, when it comes to the mass-produced, sandwich loaves.

Yeah, that worries me about the wheat breads from Bimbo and Wonder. Even in a warm pantry, they just dont mold.

Bread under any name brand is still bread. Reminds me of the stuff you poke in between the planks of a wooden boat to keep it from leaking. It'll
swell up when it comes into contact with liquids.

Bread
Been eating that one for some time now. I find it tasty, nicely textured, and CHEAP when compared to breads in the US.

Yeah...They have an extensive line of it here at Comercial Mexicana. Hook is over on the mainland and I guess Orowheat hasn't found it's way there as
of yet. It will.

Judy, next time you're in Cabo, check in CCC, they carry Boboli in La Paz, so very good chance they have it down there. Just don't expect to find it
in or near the bread aisle! I think I found it in an area near produce....or
near the small styrofoam trays of nuts, dried & candied fruits, etc. It was on one of those long metal hangers with vertical clips....not on a
shelf. Happy hunting!

Breads missing from Baja
I have tried the Bimbo wheat bread and it really is good. In Loreto it is available at Pescador. There are other types of bread missing in many
places in Baja. On every trip we have made to Loreto we have sighed wistfully that wouldn't it be nice to have a really good French Baguette with
our cheese. We could buy Brie, but no French bread. The place where we have missed a good French bread on several occasions was when we have
chocolate clams grilled in garlic butter sauce at one of our favorite restaurants La Palapa. We always ask to have some bread to soak up the
wonderful sauce, and of course, we are handed a couple slices of Bimbo white bread. It's just not the same.
Our last trip was in late March this year and I now hear that French baguettes are now being made in Loreto fresh every day. I'm not sure that the
restaurants would know to serve them to their customers, but I can't wait to get back to Loreto and try a fresh baguette with some great cheese.
