Me too... I can easily polish off an entire one pound loaf, I don't
but I could. Whenever I eat out I tell the wait person not to bring
any bread, if there's a bread basket on the table I'll eat it all and
ruin my dinner, if I need something to nibble with my drink I'll ask
for carrot and celery sticks. Many years ago I frequented a Mexican
restaurant in downtown San Diego, they served the best carrot sticks,
in a large drinking glass in some secret pickling brine, I think among
the ingredients it contained tequilla. I would tell them to remove
the huge basket of corn chips and bring more carrot sticks. They
served the best Mexican food I ever ate before and since. I don't
remember the name of the place and I doubt they are still there, this
was 1965. At that time downtown San Diego was pretty much a slummy
barrio, mostly gin mills, hookers, and tattoo parlors. Who'd a thunk
it would become one of the priciest cities in the US. At that time
one could have bought a very nice ranch house in the burbs on 20 prime
acres for like $5K
