Would you eat this?

I'm on the train, it leaves in 12 minutes. I won't be home for 50. I've bought a fresh loaf of bread for our dinner tonight. I'm starving and it smells really good....
But will I look a right greedy fool if I break a chunk off and eat it?

Not at all. If you're hungry eat!

Just do it if you're hungry., who cares what people think!

It would be wrong not to

When I was younger I was sent to the bakery for bread it was still warm and smelt so good. I pulled off the end crust and then just pulled out the innards. Put the loaf in the kitchen. it was really just a crust that collapsed when someone went to slice it.

I got a massive telling off but it was worth if as delicious. Long winded way of saying eat the bread.

This reminds me of the time, as a teenager, I got hungry and had to eat some of the baguette I'd just bought (I lived 10 mins from the shop 🙈) and a boy judged me

I felt so ashamed 😄

(Edit, I was standing outside of asda waiting for a cab at the time)

Now, I'd eat that bread with pride 🙌

In France you see people ( working men ) chomping away on plain baguettes at lunchtime. I don’t think good bread needs anything else.

Your post really made me laugh

Such a young person's thinking process 😄😄

Agree really, more people should eat baguettes in the street - its really a sign of being cultured 🤷

I hope you did it. I bet it tastes divine too - especially when you’re proper starving!
