[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 466395, member: 1723"] OK so maybe this is a long shot but here goes. Many years ago when I was a cheesehead I used to visit the windy city regularly, and one of the highlights was to visit the predominantly German section of town where the delis/groceries were located. One of which was Kuhn's Deli on N. Lincoln. We're talking specifically about circa '85 here give or take, and I see that particular location is no longer. Pity, that. In any case, I used to get a way great bread loaf there called "Schinkenbrot", and it was a whole un-sliced dark rye, shaped much like a football. Very dense and chewy, with what looked like whole kernels of rye. They weren't caraway seeds. Not completely black in color, rather a very dark brown. Don't think Kuhn's baked this, but they sold it and I got a loaf every time I went down there. To date it's one of the finest breads I've ever had and I've never had any luck in finding that particular loaf since. Google hasn't been my friend. Found some sites but they don't offer the version I once had. I'm left thinking that this was a small local German bakery. Does it still exist? Any Chi town folks know of this? Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
