I wasn't brought up with a lot of bread - it's for breakfast and/or
lunch, not dinner... we only had bread at dinner on special occasions
(and then I usually left it for my father and guests to eat!) with a
few exceptions. Soup cries out for bread to sop up the juice... and
bread is good with a nice juicy stew or to sop up a really good sauce
from your plate We usually had hamburgers with mashed potato and
steamed vegies, not on a bun... You only need one starch with your
dinner, and potatoes were our usual choice.

This place I like to go for lunch, they have an
appetizer of mussels (New Zealand, I think) and
garlic sauce. This is the tragedy ... they don't
serve it with bread. I would scoop it up with
the empty shells (I don't eat mussels) as best as
I could. They have good food, but what the
heck kind of restaurant like that doesn't offer
garlic bread on the menu!? It's just wrong.

The real tradgedy is that you don't eat the mussels, why not? If the
same recipe were made using shrimp and/or lobster instead whould not
eat those also?

Sheldon (who wouldn't mind splitting a huge bowl of mussels marinara
with Nancy, she can have all the garlic bread, I get all the mussels)

Depends on the meal.

YES
Soup & salad
Beef stew
Meatballs, sausage, and pasta with sauce
Eggs in most any form
Steak and salad, no potato

NO
Steak and baked/grilled potato
Most meals with either potato or rice

White (Pepperidge Farms) bread is only ever used for breakfast with eggs, or
toast with peanut butter, grilled cheese if no other bread is around at the
time.

All other meals where bread is served we have Italian, French, or
Jewish/Polish rye bread.

Wonder bread and similar are not to be found in this house.
