11. Bread and Us
Tayo (Nigeria)
• Bread is one food that has its place in almost
every home in Nigeria. It is so easy to snack on
and a quick fix to hunger but takes a long time
to prepare... The primary ingredient for
making bread in Nigeria is cassava.
As a matter of fact, I ate bread this morning?

12. • Pasrawin (Thailand)
Breads aren’t my staple. Rather have it as snacks or desserts
than a meal. Because of different tastes, different places,
here is example of our style bread menu in my country. Are
they different from yours?? This is the result of creative &
practical ideas. Creativity always make everything wonderful!
