    There are a fair number of Lindbergh collectors to this day.
    People are still fascinated with that flight and of course the kidnapping of his son later on.
    Not all that surprising, actually... :)
    A bunch are apparently European - no surprise there either.
    Exactly, considering how they turned out in force to greet him when he arrived from that historic flight... :)

    Brits, French, etc.

    Yup... :)

    Otherwise it's just dark bread with too much salt in it.
    Probably.. :) I suppose one could get lucky and it not be overly salted... maybe.... ;)
    Generally not.
    Too many people think they need more salt....

    Too many people eat too much take-out.

    Or dump it on their food before tasting.... ;)

    The store brand here needs more rye if memory serves.
    That doesn't sound all that promising, then...
    It wasn't. Back to the drawing board.
    Does your store have it's own in-store bakery...? Ours does, and those breads tend to be less salty and more tasty... :)

    Tend to be, but not always.

    Too bad you don't have a Wegmans or the like...

    The French had their own aviation heroes too, but Lindbergh captured
    all sorts of headlines.

    As I remember, he was the first to do the overseas flight solo...
