Bread is the bread of life! Think about it: without bread there would be no toast, no sandwiches, no buns — and what kind of a world would that be? Your mission is to eat something that shows bread at its best. From a slice of your favourite gluten-free option with jam to a great meal prepared using a fresh baguette from the bakery down the street, go with the grain and share it with your fellow Gastroposters.
