Yes, always! At least until very recently, in an effort to
cut calories just a smidge. If the meal is pretty "solid",
that is, not soup or stew or something very liquid, I
can forego bread. But certain things demand bread. Things
like spaghetti, even though it's fairly "solid". Since I
eat a lot of soup/stews (it's hard to tell my soups from
my stews as my soups are extremely hearty with lots of
solid stuff and not so much broth) because they are the
sorts of things you can make a huge batch of on the weekend
and then just microwave a bowlful each night for dinner
during the week.
