    Funny thing: you shouldn’t feed bread (or any bread-like food) to birds. While it is filling, it provides almost zero nutrition.

      I came here for this comment.

      The first time a seen variation of this comment was on IRC in the late 90s.

      rochelle182: wat do u do 4 fun?

      blitzkid6969: i mostly just sit at the pond and fed bread 2 ducks.

      rochelle182: awww dats sweet bby

      fatmanwahwah: u shudnt feed bread 2 ducks it not good 4 them I fill the craw up and not have nutrients

      rochelle182: it still sweet bby

      blitzkid6969: I did not no. I fed way 2 many ducks bread. I hope I didnt kill any. I will buy duck food

      rochelle182: u r 2 sweet bby. cant wait 2 meet u

      candymanpunk2: oh get a room u 2

      Formatting sucks. I’m sorry. It was a painful read anyway. I’m sorry for that too.

      The same is true of humans, bread should not be all or the majority of your diet.

    A place near me brings an entire round loaf good for prob 4-5 people and its sliced most of the way down and filled with garlic and mozzarella and baked. It’s by far the greatest free bread on a table I’ve ever had. Me and the wife devour it every time.

    I’m telling ya, a lot of bakeries could easily rebrand as some kind of bread-exclusive fast food place. Like, just go straight down the middle of the bread spectrum, with baguettes, brioche, and some kind of butter-it-up-and-eat-it loaf situation, like OP is describing.

    I can easily imagine an endless-ass line of cars, just lined up at the drive-thru, to get baguettes.

      Freshly baked bread is absolutely tasty, and with some butter, oh shit I’m hungry, you’re totally right about it

    Little Italian restaurant I eat lunch at gives you a plate of bread and a shallow dish with oil for dipping. The bread has carraway seeds so it’s vaguely like rye bread, oil has olives plus salt and other spices. I hate rye bread and I hate olives but I can eat their stuff all day

    Depends on which restaurant and what bread they bring out. Sometimes the bread is not very good, but if it’s fresh and hot and soft, yeah, I’ll gorge myself with it and then wonder why I ordered so much food besides.

    Remember when they used to have really GOOD breadsticks at restaurants? Sometimes they were hard and crunchy and sometimes soft but they used to be so much better, not like the overly garlicky puffy breadstick stuff you get now.

      It was perfect at the right age. A new one would come out every couple months and everyone at school was reading it.
