Food

Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter the greatest of feasts.
~ James Beard

Some interesting conversations can be overheard when we go to eat together in public places. Unfortunately, we are often so engaged in our own conversations we miss out on what other people are saying. For instance, if you're eating with others, you might miss out on something like this:

Customer: How is the bread pudding? Is it good or just okay.

Waitress: Just okay.

Customer: Is it like anyone else's? Like maybe in another town? Like maybe someone who used to be married to the owner of this place?


There are so many stories to be explored based on that conversation - not the least of which is, "Who really likes bread pudding?"
