Sorry to be a little late in my reply but today was one of our paydays and I always take my ladies out for dinner when our checks are deposited. Our dogs like it when we go out too, I always tell them I will bring them a “treat”. They know that means they will get some good people food when we come home.
I didn't realize that Bimbo owns Orowheat here, but when we came home I looked at the label on a loaf of Orowheat and sure enough, it says in the fine print that it is now made by Bimbo here. That doesn't matter to me, it is still very good bread.
Someone mentioned whole wheat bread. Years ago, everyone used to simply call it “brown bread.” The bread companies in California even labeled it brown bread. In about the early 1970s it was discovered that all, or most of them in California were not using whole wheat, but were simply using brown food dye to bake their “brown bread”.
The state of California finally had to pass laws making it illegal to add food dyes to bread, or to label any bread as “brown bread.” Some businesses everywhere will stoop very low to make an extra Penney. It might make sense for a business that is selling tens of thousands of loaves per day, but it doesn't make sense to me to pay a premium for regular bread that has been dyed.
If I ever notice a change in the flavor of Orowheat bread, either the Buttermilk or whole wheat, it will go on my mental “why bother” list.
I haven't done it in many years, but I do make very good bread at home from scratch. I finally bought a bread machine in Alaska, but only to do the kneading which is time consuming, and a lot of work. If worst comes to worst, we can always start eating “Papi” bread again.
