For Anyone Who Has Ever Loved a Carbohydrate

I once had the mildly dubious distinction of being the first to write on food in this blog. So, now I am the latest to write on the topic. From a cookbook I own on Southern breakfasts:

"She . . . reminded me . . . that I was in a land of reckless profusion, where I could almost have loaf-bread, biscuit, rolls, buttermilk bread, Sally Lunn, batter-bread, flannel cakes, or waffles, any or all of them, at breakfast, as I pleased - and afterwards be regaled with buckwheat cakes and syrup, or honey besides. Virginians, she said, scarcely realized, she was sure, what a monstrously unreasonable petition they sent up when they prayed for their daily bread." William Cabell Bruce, UVA Alum and U.S. Senator, Maryland, 1923 - 1929.
