George: "Here is a bread that you will probably not find on your grocers shelves, though it deserves to be. If it is hearty enough to eat through a Siberian winter we think it will surely ease the chilly months ahead. Very similar to Pumpernickel Bread, Russia Black Bread is a full-flavored, dark bread that stands up to strong flavors such as sardines and smoked turkey. The Postum intensifies the flavor of the bread and is sold in natural food stores and many supermarkets."

Postum is a coffee substitute, mixture of molasses, bran and wheat. Possible substitutes: ground Grape-Nuts; toasted bran flakes, ground; instant caffeine-free coffee such as Kava or Sanka.
