What is This?


Dear readers, as you know I love to talk about life in Germany from an unabashedly American perspective. If there's one thing that fascinates, amuses and confounds me, it's Germany's relationship to bread. I will, without a doubt, devote an entire chapter to the foodstuff in my upcoming book.
That having been said, please take a look at this picture. What could it possibly be?

At first glance, you might be tempted to say, "Oh, silly - that's a tool kit" or better yet, It's a small safety deposit box."
Then I would have to laugh and kindly inform you that it is, in fact, a bread box. And at the very humbling price of a mere 70 Euros. What a steal!
Yet another example of Germany's hard-core love affair with bread.
Have a great week.
