There is something about cheap delicious bread that is just irresistible. There are so many varieties of bread: white bread, rye, wheat, fruit bread, cheese bread, sour dough; the list goes on. If you just audibly went "meh" instead of "mmm", you sir or madam, are a liar. Here in Cuenca we have found a deeper love and understanding of bread. Do we eat bread or pastries 3-6 times a day? Yes, and I am in no way ashamed of that fact. There is a panaderia on almost every corner and bread is fresh throughout the day for about 20 cents. In the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Scott affirms his love of bread saying "Bread is probably my favourite food, I'd eat it every day if I could!"
His grilfriend Ramona replies, "You'd get fat."
"What?"
"Bread makes you fat"
That may be so, but I'm pretty sure we walk enough that it all evens out in the end.
