Sandwich Thins. Pretty Awesome Stuff.

I'm not a diet bread person. I love bread. My death-row meal would be real French bread with unsalted butter. (Which is just one reason never to get on death row because you know they'd buy Italian bread or Cuban loaf or some other squishy crud and screw the whole thing up.)

Anyhoo... it's not often I'll buy into a bread product that seems like less than bread should be.

But you know how sometimes you need just enough bread to contain your delectable sandwich fixin's?

Ta-da! Oroweat Sandwich Thins.

They're 4-5 inches across, and maybe 1/2 inch thick. We use the multi-grain variety, which are super-tasty. Plus, I don't know how they do it, but when you toast them, they're still soft in the middle -- you have all this toasty-bread texture goodness, and the middle 1/10 inch is still chewy. Crazy.

More reasons to love them:

* 5g fiber per bun (2 thins)
* 100 calories per bun (our normal bread costs 200 calories per sandwich)
* Oroweat's parent company is called Bimbo

Try to ignore the gratuitous invention of the "words" thindulge and thinnovation on the product website (arrgghh! I just added them to Google search results!), and give these babies a shot.

I should say I first saw these on Krissy's blog, so I thought they were a New York deli thing. Then Dave came home with a pack, so it turns out they're everywhere.

So, what was on the last sandwich you ate? Did you make it yourself? Was it on Italian bread or Cuban loaf? (Answer carefully!)
