how did I not know pumpernickel was made from coarse ground whole rye until now

If pumpernickel is a subset of rye bread then rye>sourdough.
The people have spoken.

I live in Hackney so I imagine I'm legally obliged to pick sourdough.

the pleasing taste of pastrami on rye outweighs any good sourdough sandwich i've ever had
if I were a meat-eater rye would be walking this SO easily owing to the heavy weight placed on the scale here, pastrami on rye is one of the soundest arguments for the carnivore life that I know of. does sourdough have any single sandwich incarnation as iconic as pastrami on rye?

The best of all sandwiches is the tuna melt and for that rye>sourdough.
― Fetchboy, Wednesday, 19 July 2017 18:11 (seven years ago) link
Rye wins this in p much every respect. Tuna melt rye is otm, just as pastrami on rye, salted or pickled herring on rye etc
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 19 July 2017 18:12 (seven years ago) link
Sourdough, but it's close. The seeds are biggest reason to vote against rye. However, I'd vote for dark rye over these two easily.

avocado toast is a sandwich and one of the soundest arguments for leaving the carnivore life (as long as you also add tomato, zaatar, and coarse sea salt)

i ate liverwurst sandwiches two days in a row for lunch thanks to this thread. or braunschweiger to be precise. plus swiss+baby lettuce+hot pepper rings+shallots+kosciusko mustard+arnold jewish rye with seeds.
nobody in my house shares my love for this meal. they didn't grow up with a mother from long island.
oh and boars head kosher dills on the side. just missing a cel-ray soda and a bag of chips for perfection.

Here's the thing, the most annoying part of sourdough avocado toast is sawing through the sourdough.

Funny this came up this week. I've been hitting Marks&Spencers at the time they make major reductions recently. One day this week I scored 1/2 price loaves of each.Don't think I have a favourite both were pretty great. Haven't tried either in a while before that.Used to get a 60% rye regularly about 15 years back but I think the baker's long gone.Liked the sourdough from the Bagel shop in Finsbury park too.

The only bread I have eaten in the last 6 months was the slightly rye tinged sourdough at 108 in Copenhagen which was phenomenal. My local bakers does a pretty awesome 100% rye sourdough which makes the absolute best toast.

I love the crust on sourdough and the elastic crumb. And the sourness, of course. Rye has its place for sure but I confidently cast my vote for sourdough.

The blame clearly lands at the feet of marble rye for pandering to the sourdough lovers. Sourdough was always going to get at least 45 votes. If we had been more vocal about the anti-flatulence benefits of caraway seeds instead of trying to pivot to the center to please people who don't floss more ilxors would've come out to vote for rye.
