Yongfook.com reviews Japanese pre-processed foods; this time, it's bread (http://www.yongfook.com/articles/article_2005_01_23_2219.php).
Quote: "The thickness and density of the slices also explains why there are almost no regular pop-up style toasters in Japan... since gravity simply will not allow one of these behemoth slices to be accelerated upwards at a speed other than minus 1 billion parsecs a second."

JamieR 01-26-2005, 04:21 PM mmhmm.....er..it looks way different from normal english bread :rolleyes: :D :D
hmm. does anyone know if they also eat the bread from right to left?
Mhtml 01-28-2005, 04:13 AM OMG lol, I am just eating a cheese sandwich (I love cheese mmmmm) anyways, and I noticed I was in fact eating right to left... yet I would assume being left handed that left to right would be more efficient... Now just thinking about it, I'm' pretty sure I always do that. I rotate the sandwich 45° and eat from the right corner to the left..weird.

Mhtml 01-28-2005, 05:15 AM Well I typically like my french toast to be really thin, seems to taste better. You'd really only have the outside cooked and yummy on that behemoth, then you get to the plain dense interior.

I knew that if I stuck around here long enough, I'd get a pun out of somebody :D

That would fall under:
... any [...] activity that involves putting the bread in your mouth and swallowing it
codegoboom 01-28-2005, 08:44 PM Oh, of course! ;)
BTW, the Brits can dish out quite the broad (http://www.slimandsoft.com/newsletter/images/bread.jpg) slice, unlike the Aussies, who seem content redefining (http://www.csiro.au/index.asp?type=imageDef&id=doughlablge) the crouton...
Roelf 02-02-2005, 09:26 AM i know (and this is really true) that on the Dutch Royal Military Academy, they teach the high ranked military people of the future, a standard procedure to cut up and eat slices of bread. I once worked on a military base and had lunch together with the high ranks in the dutch army. They all ate their bread the same way. Uniformity rules....
Mhtml 02-02-2005, 02:19 PM That's pretty weird, so what were you really doing there?

Dang... I thought you'd been sent by MI6 to destroy a traitorous general who was actually a Colombian drug dealer with a brother in the Russin army and a mother who was Osama Bin Laden's ex-girl-friend...
I think I've been watching too many Bond films lately.
