Landscape with bread


I came upon this pile of stale bread near one of the barns that's still used to house animals. Seems they incorporate it into the feed, which I find a rather good idea as the bread goes unconsumed by people in any event.

Neither man nor animals can live by bread alone, I guess. Happy Sunday to you!!

Interesting photo. I see people collecting stale baguettes from the bakeries. I presume they are also used to feed farm animals.

Great looking bread. Lucky animals!

(I haven't -yet- featured Boston Cream Pies, but this one I found on Flicker looks good, doesn't it?)

I can well remember when some years after the war - 1945-ONWARDS - IT WAS NORMAL FOR pig farmers to come round and collect waste scraps of food (not much was wasted then!!)for feeding to pigs as "pig swill". I don't know what they do these days...seems in Switzerland it's still done.

At first I was going to say it looks good. Then I read your post about it being stale. It goods that it doesn't go to waste.

It is the unsold bread of the baker; they seem intact
