Well, given the mind-boggling domination of the sliced white, and
sometimes brown, but always factory-prepared and soft, variety on which UK
(well, London; can't speak for the rest) bread market, I understand why
there's no sarcasm here. It took me *months* to find viable alternatives
to living on crumpets. (Yeah, factory-made, too, but at least tasty, and
they had novelty-value for me.)

not, like, four or six within 100 yards of her place like in Paris, but
