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.
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.
Hi Thanks so much for visiting my blog , You wrote about your love for Bernese mountain dogs, well I am really in love with this kinda dog. Its such a sweetheart and always kind to adults children , so I see you are from Switserland , than you see a lot of these dogs?

I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

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?)

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.
My first visit and I just wanted to say hello and let you enjoyed looking through both your blogs this evening, I will be back for more.
Interesting. And the photo is a fooler too as I thought it was fresh bread.
It is the unsold bread of the baker; they seem intact
