She has tried, bless her heart, for she has hunted high and very low for the Rye Bread with Sunflower Seeds.. but alas and alack, it was nowhere to be found and today she rang their customer services to be told "sorry but that item has been discontinued"..
Oh.. oh, the sadness, the empty tumtum, the amount of people who apparently all feel the same as us, for she loved it as much as I, the man went onto say that they have received a MASSIVE amount of calls about this item and the buying office have been informed.
But being informed and bringing it back asap into stock in their shops is not the same, is it?
Have you ever eaten it? It was a dark rye with molasses and lots and lots of sunflower seeds, sliced quite thinly, it went well with both savoury or sweet things. She has hunted high and low for a recipe that would come close to this delicious bread but to no avail.
So we have to make do and bluff and fudge with other breads, for I like a bit of bread with which to break that gruesome fast, first comes a delicious egg-the-peg, followed by three pieces of crispy crust from her toast, she either makes her own or eats a rye and caraway seed Lithuanian bread which she buys from Bartek. Then a few raw cashew nuts followed up by a piece of bread, half of which I eat and half of which I play-the-fool with on top of chilly white larder.
There must be a recipe for it somewhere.. Dark rye flour, molasses, sunflower seeds, she seems to remember it was made in Germany and by a company called Rivercote. Huh.. do we have any German bread makers out there who would be able to point her in the direction of a recipe?
In the very olden days, there was the Swiss Food Centre on the corner of Leicester Square and the Danish one in Sloane Street, they might have stocked something similar but they no longer exist in London.. BIG sigh.. for they were both sources of delicious food that she frequented frequently!
Anyway, I am not starving as we do have a small loaf that she has found in Waitrose which is pretty scrummy, a totally different sort of bread, not the same as it does not have the molasses (that was such a good taste) but it does taste pretty good, she cuts it waver thin and it has seeds in and on it.
So now I have to go, we have work to do now as we are both going to be off and away to Streatham to Sing With Dementia this afternoon.
Of course, I'll let you know how it went.. so come back here after about eight of this evenings' clock and I'll tell you ALL about it!

PostScript. Do you feel disappointed when people say they're going to do something and then don't, she'd never have suspected it of these two but, there you go. Meanwhile Tereza, who was on a very short trip to Turkey, has brought her back a box of amazing looking Nougat and Pomegranate tea from Turkey. Such a 'sweet' ~ in both ways ~ gift. Thank you Tereza.

Good to read that we're not suffering on our own with the lack of dark sliced bread in Lidl. This was the one bread that was filling, and has been one of the main reasons for shopping at Lidl. Yes, I too wish they'd bring it back, and will definitely call them also.
