The Body of Christ Compels You (to eat a sandwich)*

Have you guys seen these yet?  The first time I saw them in Safeway I laughed my ass off - thought the Catholic Church finally caved and decided to sell the Eucharist to pay some lawyers- not those puny ones you could easily get for free on Sunday, either.  The BIG one, the one Father Whoever specifically blesses and gives a shard to those other Upstanding Citizens who do the readings and distribute communion and such.

I went with Original & Favorite, obviously.

My instinct was to laugh and walk away (which I did multiple times), but then Mike and I went camping with my friends Wes and Andrea.  They are healthy eaters - packed Mahi Mahi and salads for a camping dinner that shamed my hastily packed hot dogs and potato chips (I'm new to camping - next time I'll get more creative).  Boring story short - they had some in their camping cooler and told me they were good and I felt ashamed at my recent lack of healthful-eating.  So, next trip to the store I picked a package up and made a tasty sandwich.

Blessed Diet Sandwich Bread


Looks promising...

Verdict?  Eh.  If you're watching your carbs (ha your diet is so 2001) and have a bold sandwich going, knock yerself out, you'll be satisfied.  I made mine with tuna fish (light on the mayo, please) and it was pretty good. Personally, I would compare this Eucho-bread to a blank canvas - it's not getting in the way of flavor, but it's not adding a thing either.  The texture isn't terrible, but it's not great - at least it didn't stick to the roof of my mouth like glue. 

Still snarfed it down!

For the record, I actually purchased, made, and photographed this sandwich at least a month ago, but out of the six wafers, five are still in the fridge.  Let me know if you want them.
