Udi's Gluten Free Bread


I went to Hawaii recently and was a little bit worried that I wouldn't be able to find any good gluten free products. Well, was I ever wrong AND I ended up finding the best gluten free bread I have ever eaten - Udi's.  I found it in Hawaiian Moons Natural Foods on South Kihei Road in Maui.  It was the first package I picked up, I gave it the squeeze test and it passed with flying, leaping colours.  I even had to show my family, "Look, I squish and it squishes back!"  I was so excited, and then I ate it.  OK, anyone who has ever been on a gluten free diet but still remembers the wonderful smell and texture of gluten-ridden-devil-treasures aka bread, knows what I mean.  This bread is freakin' amazing.  So it passed the first two tests; 1. Squishy  2. Tasty, and now 3. Storage.  And this one almost made me lose my lunch.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO FREEZE IT.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO TOAST IT (unless you want to). YOU CAN STORE IT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. It's in all caps because I AM shouting at you.  This, to me and numerous others who need to adhere to a gluten free diet, is amazing, outstanding and unheard of.  Every other gf bread that I have had is alright for day 1-2, and then pop in the freezer or it will go bad, and 'toast for best results'. Well, boo to that I say.  I am now a converted, devotee of Udi's.  I just can't say anything better about this product.  When I returned to my humble Winnipeg home I searched my usual gf haunts and was ecstatic to find that WE HAVE UDI'S HERE!!!!!!  I feel much better, my desire to move to Hawaii can now move beyond its gluten free riches and rest on the obvious warm, sunny weather and beaches.
