Do you realise that Asia ranges from Saudi Arabia to Japan and from
Vietnam to Mongolia?

"consumed in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Maldives,
Malaysia and Bangladesh"

"pretty much the same bread". Name that bread. Why don't you simply
admit you don't know everything about SE Asia?

It seems roti is eaten world-wide under different names and used in
various ways... roti is simply unleavened flat bread, even matzo
qualifies. Tortillas are roti m ade with corn or wheat.

Nope. Roti has nothing to do with Thailand. World wide bread is not
what we were talking about. You mentioned not letting bread touch on
plates or using it to "sop up" gravy. Separate bread plates.

I meantion may things related to bread. Which ones in your mind did
you tie to 'not letting bread touch on plates' or relate that to
sopping up gravy?

"When in Italy, save the dipping of bread in olive oil for a formal
tasting of the years new oil in December and January when the purpose
is not to eat a lot of bread, but just to taste a variety of fabulous
just pressed extra virgin olive oils. Keep the practice out of your
restaurant experience while touring Italy and perhaps, give it up at
home to avoid violating the Italian Food Rule: Dont Dip Bread in Olive
Oil."

Bugger that, if it tastes good DIP IT!
