THREE FRIENDS TALK ABOUT BREAD

RICARDO DIMPY NITIN

“OKAY... LET ME START THE

CONVERSATION.

I THINK BREAD HELPED MAKE

ME PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO.

ALL FILIPINOS EAT A BREAD

CALLED ‘PAN DE SAL’

AND I GREW UP ENJOYING IT.”

DIMPY

RICARDO

“HEY, THAT’S COOL!

IN PORTUGAL, WE LOVE A

BREAD CALLED ‘BROA’.

IT’S A DENSE, MOIST BREAD,

PERFECT FOR DIPPING INTO

HEAVY SOUPS, AND EATING

WITH WINE AND CHEESE.”

NITIN

“WELL, GUYS, MY TAKE ON

BREAD IS NOT EXACTLY

RELATED TO EATING, BUT

HERE IT GOES...

A LOAF OF BREAD LEFT FOR A

FEW DAYS LETS FUNGUS

GROW. THIS HELPS IN THE

STUDY OF FUNGI.

THIS WAS HOW PENICILLIN

WAS DISCOVERED!”

“INTERESTING, NITIN!

DID YOU KNOW BREAD TAUGHT

ME TO BE PATIENT?

WHEN I WAS A KID, MY FAMILY

USED TO TAKE ME TO THIS

ITALIAN RESTAURANT.

EATING THEIR BREAD STICKS MADE THE WAIT FOR

MY SPAGHETTI TOLERABLE.”

DIMPY

NITIN

“DIMPY, THAT’S

A GREAT STORY!

I’M ALSO THINKING THAT

MAKING BREAD IS ALSO A

GOOD BUSINESS.

THINK OF ALL THE MONEY

ONE CAN STAND TO EARN!”

“WITH THE RIGHT BREAKS,

YOU’D EARN, ALRIGHT!

BREAD HELPED TAUGHT ME

TO BE CREATIVE, BY THE WAY...

I’D ALWAYS GO FOR THOSE

‘FLYING SAUCER’

SANDWICHES AS A KID

BECAUSE I LIKE TO IMAGINE

MYSELF FLYING WITH THE

LITTLE SPACEMEN INSIDE.”

DIMPY

“SPEAKING OF FLYING,

HERE’S ONE...

THE POET IN ME VISUALIZES

BREAD BEING THROWN TO

BIRDS, AND THEY ALL FLY.

THEIR FLIGHT INDUCES ONE’S

IMAGINATION TO SOAR TO

EVER GREATER HEIGHTS!”

NITIN

RICARDO

“BIRDS, HUH?

HERE’S A CREATIVE ONE!

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT

BREADS HAVE

PERSONALITIES.

I SAY THE BREADS THAT ARE

DENSE AND THICK, ARE THE

‘GRUMPY’ ONES...”

RICARDO

“...AND THE ‘HAPPY’ ONES

ARE THE FLUFFY BREADS!

THESE ARE THE ONES WHO

ARE EAGER TO MINGLE WITH

BUTTER AND JAM, AND ARE

READY TO BE SERVED TO

CHILDREN.

HA HA!”

NITIN

“THAT CERTAINLY MADE ME

SMILE!

AS A LAST WORD -- AND THIS

IS ALSO ABOUT SMILES –

BREAD THAT’S SPECIALLY-

MADE AND DECORATED

DIFFERENTLY, NEVER FAILS

TO BRING A SMILE TO EVERY

PERSON IN THE FAMILY.

KEEP ON SMILING, GUYS!”
