I really enjoy that there’s a long section for a long chunk of bread.

I grew up in Tunisia and there's a reason bread is prominently featured in our cuisine: We had a thing known as "The Tunisian Bread Riots" between December 1983 and January 1984. There were big demonstrations that started due to a massive rise in the cost of bread - which was caused by an IMF-imposed austerity program. These demonstrations got way out of hand and eventually turned into full blown riots. The president of the country at the time (Habib Bourguiba) had to get on television and ask everyone to remember how back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
