Brad Tranchoiro,

There is no city in the world where
80 much bread is consumed as in Par
is. 1t Ia estimated that every inhab-
liant eats n pound a day on the
average. Even in past centuries the
French, especially Parisians, had q
horror OF stale bread. And as in those
days people manufactured their own
bread they had n curious way of max
ing 1t palatable. Strange as 1t may
seem, the bread prepared, huge round
or square slabs, was used as a dish,
on which the meat was carved and
bore the name of 'tranchoirs," or
'tailloirs," The Juice Of the meat hav-
Ing penetrated into the bread impaired
a pleasant taste and prevented 1t from
