When I was 9 or maybe 10 (at scout camp), I remember making white bread toast (probably Wonder Bread, but maybe, just maybe, Merita bread) over the campfire and adding American cheese to it. Still one of my favorite memories of scouting.
Merita is still my all-time favorite bread, and if I find it at the grocery, I buy it! Something special about that bread! Of course, I can’t find it in the Midwest. So far, I only find Merita when I’m in the South. So when I’m south of the Mason-Dixon Line, I actively hunt for it at grocery stores.
It’s amazing how strong memories are. They stay with you. We live in the south & I’ve never heard of that bread. Now I’m going to scope it out!
