Even in Montreal, with those Russian and Ukranian bakeries, not to mention the Jewish ones on Main street (now St. Laurent) and Outremont, rye bread was (is ?) either the standard blond 50% rye for smoked meat, German style, the bread I mean, or that heavy black bread but with other flours inside, what one would call Russian black bread. Fantastic breads mind you.

Until very recently, you could not buy rye bread in the UK. Maybe only in private bakeries.
Today, one can find rye bread in some supermarkets such as Tesco, M&S but they are not 100% rye. 50% top.
On a gourmet market we have a baker who has some good rye bread.
This list is a close enough copy. The pictures are exactly as the bread that I buy every week.
Only Pumpernickel and Hoxton Rye are 95% rye and 5% sourdough.
They have German - 100% rye but it is not as tasty (TBH not even close) as
Hoxton Rye
or
Pumpernickel.
My OH loves their
Rye, Carraway & Raisins one. She eats it as a desert/treat
They also bake 100% sourdough and 100% spelt. Spelt is fantastic
Put it into a toaster and add a bit of spread and it tastes like cake only a lot healthier.
My brother was telling for ages to stop eating white, wholemeal breads and eat only rye bread. While some people say that eating bread is not healthy, rye bread escapes this stigma.
