I could survive on bread alone. It is without question my favorite food. Also my nemesis. Trying to control weight and loving bread as I do are not compatible.
If they serve bread at the beginning of any restaurant meal, as most do, I seldom finish my main course having stuffed myself on bread.
John Muir was like me... or I guess I'm like him. He couldn't understand why anyone needed anything more than bread... further, he couldn't understand why anyone could not eat bread unless it passed under a cow (
, his quote), and meaning butter. Here I differ with John somewhat.... hot fresh bread and butter is heaven itself, although I'm not at all distressed if butter isn't available. - JamesJM
