Vogels Bread in the USA!!!
I received an early Christmas present today. Jamie ordered 4 loaves (yes FOUR!) of Vogels bread from www.homesick-kiwi.com He was unsure about the storage of them so had to let me know what the surprise was this evening. I'm so excited to have a slice with Marmite on in the morning!!!!
I'm an American. I spent a few years living in New Zealand in the mid 1980s and traveled it extensively. A Maori roommate loved Vogel bread. He taught me to make banana tomato sandwiches using Vogel bread. It sounds weird but is delicious! Vogel bread is a heavy multi-grain bread. It dries out quickly. We were living in Wellington, New Zealand. It often was not fresh in the stores and was drying out. We would squeeze the loaves and try to determine if it was soft. Most of the time it was not. But when it was soft we always bought it and used it only for making tomato banana sandwiches. In those days I never saw it for sale on the South Island of New Zealand, only on the North Island. I once traveled with a loaf or two of it to the South Island. When some Maori friends of mine learned I had brought it with me to the South Island, they quickly ate it all up. I wish it was made in the U.S.A.

Looking forward to some Vogels toast in Bay City for breakfast on Monday!!
Ohhhh Vogels, here??? I've seen all sorts of other things at various Aussie and Kiwi sites, but not Vogels bread. Is it still fresh tasting?
