I've had to go gluten free - the bread is revolting.
If anyone has a good recipe please let me know.....

Sagacious says,

Macro brand Cheese Twists and Cheese Rings are deelish. Don't know of you can get them in Melbourne, though.

oopsalittle says,

Yes we have them here and they are v nice as occasional treats on a Saturday night.
Can't beat Twisties though.....

lillybrook says,

My children are whole grain, except when Grandma visits because she still insists on white bread. I don't get it... Loved this!

Sagacious says,

I hadn't bargained on some people missing the metaphor. By white bread, I meant that most of the people of my childhood were of Anglo-Celtic stock; whereas my adulthood is populated by immigrants from a variety of different races and ethnicities,including Indian, Chinese and from the Middle East, as well as the Anglos. The mix of people from different ethnic and racial backgrounds constitute the "multigrain bread."

Believe says,

I realized the metaphor, but also liked the literal.

ba_miracle says,

"whitebread" in my reference was a slang term for an average, normal (maybe even boring) person.
"Multigrain" for a rough, unrefined, grainy life.

That is one of the beautiful and frustrating things with words. They can mean many things beyond what even the writer wishes.

I grew up in California in homes for children, shelters and many other unsavory spots. Very wide variety of race, religions and culture. As children we were more united in our mistrust of adults and less concerned about our differences. Many of us considering racism as another injustice adults created.

Several years ago I moved across country to South Carolina and the racial divide here is something I have a difficult time accepting. It is black and white in many subtle and overt ways.

In your explanation of the memoir...I miss the multigrain bread immensely.
