i’m guessing beer, bread, and cheese.
And I've never had "beer bread." What does that taste like?
- “beer bread” is the result of lazy phone keyboard typing. But also, there is such a thing: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/6717/beer-bread-i/ , a form of quickbread. The crumb is usually a bit dense but it’s certainly not bad with stew.
- Bread beer, on the other hand, is called kvass. Though very unlikely to have been drunk by medieval Sicilians, it tastes pretty good, especially the kind with raisins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvass
I can't decide if I want to try bread beer bread first, or rather beer bread beer!
Then I suppose I'll move on to beer bread beer bread and bread beer bread beer :D
I'm down to kvetch some kvass. Sounds groovy. Guinness are basically loaves of bread in liquid form. Beer must've originated in botched breadmaking and some genius drank it just to find out what would happen.
What happens in Sicily, stays in Sicily (until dug up).
A Kosher deli is a good example. Having pastrami, rather than ham, is obviously religious, but the fact that it invariably comes on rye isn't.
These may correlate, but are different and not alternative.
