In an attempt to eat healthy the other day, I bought a block* of Mestemacher Natural Sunflower Seed bread

Nope. Not tried it before and my regular loaf was unavailable. So I thought why not. It looked solid and hearty with chunky seeds embedded in each slice. 

I should have known better that something this healthy must taste like crap but I pushed that niggling thought to the recesses of my head. After all, I must start on my new trim and fit exercise routine under trainer M's guidance (Yes! After the applecow, he is on my case!!). 

I can conclude confidently now that yes.. bread that pack a whopping 6 g of fibre per slice taste like cardboard. Its not unpalatable mind you, just...tasteless. And I was almost defeated three quarters way through. I only made it because I had paid SGD4.65 for seven slices and seeing that I have six more to go, I have GOT TO eat it! With crazy inflation going on, wasting this is a big no-no. 

Leaving it around till it turns mouldy isn't an option because of 1) its price and 2) unbelievably long shelf life. It won't expire till October 2008! 

So, I am now saddled with six slices of very-good-for-my-well-being-but-tastes-like-sawdust bread and have to think of how to dispose of it. Ideally in my tummy but perhaps I can offload  a couple of slices to resident germans in the department. Applecow too? But that means I sill have at least three slices to sort out! 

How can I do it? Any tasty sandwich ideas? 

* Why do I call it a 'block' and not 'loaf'? Because it has the weight and dimensions of a brick. Them Germans sure like their bread solid like a rock. 

P.S. I ate a slice (140 calories) with ham and a handful of baby tomatoes 3 hours ago and I AM STILL FULL. This stuff seriously sits in your stomach.
