Everybody eats bread.

What is your favorite kind of bread?

No way in the world could I include all the 10,000+ types of bread in this poll. Sorry.

I love bread. My wife is big fan of potatoes (as am I), but if I had to choose between the two it'd be bread almost every time.

I voted multi-grain

yum yum!

I also like multi grain. But I voted brown wheat because it's cheaper. I bought 2 loaves today for $3.

Daily bread.

I like pita bread. It is terrific grilled. For traditional loaves, sour dough is good.

You're not quite right in saying that everyone eats bread, but we'll let that go for now. If you want a chip butty you need lousy, thin-sliced, cheap white pap, so thickly spread with butter that your teeth make little cliffs when you take a bite. For toast you need bread so old that it's not quite but nearly going mouldy. Wholemeal, cut thick. This is also what you need for baked beans on toast. Toast made with very fresh bread can be peculiarly disappointing. A very fresh wholemeal loaf is best for a cheese and piccalilli butty, but you have to be very clever to be able to cut such a loaf into thin enough slices. And warm up the butter first. I think the worst kind of bread is those horrible white "French sticks" that supermarkets sell. You need a really crusty loaf made with unbleached white flour to eat with good Cheddar cheese. Ignore fools who decry the use of large quantities of butter with this. It's essential. Tangy, gum-aching Cheddar with crusty bread and strong, hoppy bitter is exactly what the gods feast on when no-one is looking.

Which people don't eat bread? I read in National Geographic that every culture in the world in all of history has eaten some form of bread...

I like matzo. Matzo is good with cottage cheese or jam and I've been eating lots of it as of late. It doesn't go stale and doesn't have a freshness date like bread. It kinda goes along with soymilk in a box. I'm all set to hold out in a bunker for a year or two.

Some people can't tolerate wheat gluten, and so avoid bread. That's all I meant. No big deal!

Does potato bread have wheat gluten?

I see that at the store often. I should buy it the next time. I've always wondered what it tastes like.

Oh, darn! I didn't notice French was one of the options. To bad, I voted for white.
