    Sounds heavy and dense.

    That's either going to be yummy or a door-stopper. I'm going for yummy.

    It looks pretty durned tasty, I think! I'm envisioning a nice, dense slice toasted and dripping with butter. Yum! Hoping you will let us know how it tastes.

    But I've got to ask, what does BLIVIT stand for? ? ?

    Rusty, BLIVIT = Two pounds of (. . .) in a one pound bag.

    I'll be at Stella's in Grand Rapids in about an hour, so I'm saving my appetite. Otherwise I'd be tempted to bake a Blivit, like mxyplux's.

    I think Solsthumper has it right as to the meaning when applied to this overstuffed looking bread (a quote from Kurt Vonnegut), but it actually is a general word for gadget, unknown thing, messed up thing, a think hacked (as in altered for other purposes) so many times it's unrecognizable as its original form, something complicated but useless or a vital part which has become impossible to use, or which fails right when the grand poohbahs or a big audience are looking. In the overstuffed sense, according to Urban Dictionary it is also sometimes applied to an oversized and ill groomed woman, which I've never heard, but believe. It's also a Swedish verb (which I found out while checking with dictionaries) which Google translates as "been". I was checking dictionaries (besides just making sure for myself) hoping to find a first citation. I did not find that, though I found a blog post saying that it wasn't in the OED.

    I assume it means two pounds worth of ingredients in a one pound bread machine, which could be good, but dense, bread, or a doorstop. I hope we will be further informed.
