For those of you missing yummy pumpkin pie (and I totally agree!), you may want to check out Tiendas La Cuisine in the southern part of Mexico City: http://www.tiendaslacuisine.com.mx/sucursales.html
On a related culinary subject, did you know that The New York Bagel Deli opened a few shops in Mexico City many years ago, perhaps 15-20? It did not last and I wonder why since Mexicans are so fond of all types of bread. Now you can only find frozen NYBD bagels (all sorts) at supermarkets, and the only panader�a that I've been to that makes reasonable bagels is La Artesa (check the link for locations, not only in Mexico City http://www.laartesa.com.mx/franquicias.html ) |

You find? I would say otherwise. True, there are all kinds of sweet breads at bakeries, but the rolls, baguettes, buns, and such always seem to be either white or brown. I do see some other varieties at Sumesas and Walmarts, all uniformly called "European bread' and stale beyond the pale, but hard to get a proper rye or pumpernickel. |

Have you seen the braided light and dark rye bread at Comercial? I don't know just how proper it is, but we like it quite a lot. |

| Haven't seen it but I will look for it. What I'm really after is rye grain as I like to make my own bread. |

| Guy, the NYBD sells rye and pumpernickel varieties at Wal-Mart. Of course packaged bread is not the best choice, but both are OK for cravings (I lived in the Czech Republic and am a big fan of bread varieties, especially rye and pumpernickel!). For fresh bread I'd recommend Meisterback, a German bakery (and Niebelungen Garten restaurant with excellent food) on Vertiz 1024, Narvarte. I have no clue where in DF you live though. |

You may want to call the people at Meisterback (5674-7788), the bakery is also a small shop and they carry food ingredients. |

Criminy, I work not two blocks from there.
On a side note, in Narvarte, there's a great Lebanese food-seller on Cuauhtemoc at Luz Savignon called Biblos that has very very good hummus, pita, and tabuleh, among other Lebanese treats. |
