All peoples eat bread. It is a
staple of every continent and culture and it abounds in plentiful varieties. Some
bake theirs till it makes a dark-brown, hard crust and others, crusts of a lighter
hue and softer feel. Some shape it long, thin and round while others carve it
in rectangles with mounds on top. Some pack theirs full of extras like fruit
and cocoa and others insist on plain and smooth.
In the same way, people have many
choices of accompaniments for their bread. Some dip it in wine and others in
hot tea. Some slap a sausage between the slices and others cement the slices
with cheese. The ones on a diet munch it with chopped greens and those un-worried
about thick waist-lines fork it down with scrambled eggs. But this morning, I’m
taking my bread with butter.
