That stuff was wholly unique in taste and texture . . . even as a PALEO guy today (mostly), I'd love me some Roman Meal toast (dripping with butter), or on a high-stacked deli-sandwhich!

I can't help but wonder what the carb content was, per slice! LOL

Probably low, compared to today's . . . .

Anyway, just reminiscing & wondering . . !

Same here. He ate biscuits usually but the bread we had was Roman Meal for his occasional ham sammich.



I really liked it. The comment on texture is right on. I haven't found a supermarket loaf of bread that compares in all these years.

Excellent    Didn't know they still made it

It was the only bread Mom would buy, if she didn't have time to make her own.

Good stuff Maynard!!!

Whole grain, when Wonderbread was the std.

It actually had some flavor to it, and ruined me.
Nothing like Peanut Butter and Honey on Roman meal.

2 slices Roman Meal...check



2 slices O-S-C-A-R M-E-Y-E-R bologna...check



Heavy Mayo...check

I never actually liked white bread. Still don't really.

It's just gummy and sweet to me.

My grandparents ate it.  At the time, I was a white bread man, though still a child.  Now that I've been awakened to the evils of carbs, especially white bread, it is reserved for cheat days, tomato sandwiches and sopping up spicy BBQ sauce with ribs.

And I grew up on rotary phones too.

West Coast thing wasn't it?

All we ate in L.A. as kids , we weren't allowed Wonderdough

There was something called Hillbilly  bread made by Nichols (iirc) around Pittsburgh in the 70's that was
a close second. We ate that while visiting relatives

That shit is hard to find.  Walmart doesn't carry it and neither does Meijer.  I'm guessing their bakery (bakeries) has reduced output due to all the new competition.  

I still buy the sandwich loaves  because your PB&J can be cut into equal triangles.  OCD?  I call it attention to detail and apparently from what I see on TV your food is only as good as you present it.  

And it has a fucking Roman Legionnaire on the package and my last name is Roehm.  My bread could kick your bread's ass and occupy it's bakery.  





Glad to see some people appreciate the product.  I got worried for a while they didn't sell it anymore.  

My days are numbered anyway, not worried too much about my carb/gluten/non new world diet.  But, more power to you for taking control of your dietary intake, I really do respect that.  Not being sarcastic I respect the discipline.

That shit just tastes good IMHO.  Just don't cut my crust off!!!

Yes, I remember it.  It was all white bread before wheat started making its appearance in the late '60s.  Roman Meal was among them.

Same here.

Back then, we grew and delivered an ass ton of produce to the local Spartan stores. We knew who's stuff was in the local Hardings.
When Carter fucked everyone with the embargo, and jacked interest rates to the moon, we lived on Spartan Hot dogs, Spartan dried milk, Mastitis sows, and stuff from the garden.

Funny thing.
There was no such thing as "Paleo" back then, and few people were fat, despite not eating "Paleo", and Organic fucktards, were recognized truthfully as reactionary dipshits.
