schmahxgn Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Bread, though not the most flavorful or exciting food is in fact the most relevant to human society and also most important in the development of human civilization. Bread is in the base for many delicious foods. Without bread there will be no sandwiches, no pizza. Beer would not exist as beer is liquid bread. Without the development of agriculture there would be no bread but without bread there would be no need for merchants, mills, granaries, breweries, bakeries, or commerce to begin with. Bread has ingredients (flour, yeast, sugar, water, butter, etc.), yet it is often an ingredient in it's own right. Bread is also a metaphor for resources, money, a means to sustain oneself. There are also several varieties. Some countries such as France, India, Germany, and Israel have their own regional breads. (Baguette, Naan, Pumpernickel, and Challah respectively) There is even an entire manga and anime series adaptation said manga called "Yakitate Ja-Pan!" which focuses solely on preparing and baking bread. Peter Kropotkin's manifesto on socialism was entitled "The Conquest of Bread." Even in the scope of western religion, bread plays a role; the communion is bread, the Passover Seder of Hebrew faith is practiced with Matzoh, unleavened bread, and to bring it around full circle, the last supper in Christianity which is symbolized by the communion WAS a Passover Seder. tl;dr Bread is and was and will always be a cornerstone of the development of human civilization as we know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
