I think I like being surprised by which type of bread turns up in a restaurant.

Well, we could go to Italy for your dream bread, of course.

Well, the other joy of Italy is that you never quite know what you're getting because every region does everything completely differently.

And they are very passionate about it.

And every other region does it terribly.

Which is the same as the UK, by the way.

Like one of the things I explained to my American friends is that we have so many accents because you travel 20 miles and you have hundreds of years of history of everyone hating each other.

So we speak differently and we want to know that you're not us and we know that we hate you because of how you pronounce that vowel.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like that in Italy, but with food.

It's like, you make that pasta that way.

Oh, you are an absolute savage.

We roll it like this.

And so likewise, you get lots and lots of different breads.

Never tasted bread like that in my life.

It is fantastic everywhere.

My favorite hobby while I was in Tuscany was just getting in the car.

There were all these tiny little hamlets of like 800 year old buildings.

Like maybe there'd be two restaurants per hamlet if you were lucky and maybe 30 buildings.

And so you just kind of pick one at random and just eat whatever it is that Nana's cooking in the back.
