Bill Bryson Quote
…a waitress came out and plonked in front of each of us a small standard terra-cotta flowerpot in which had been baked a little loaf of bread.What's this? I asked.It's bread, she replied.But it's in a flowerpot? She gave me a look that I was beginning to think of as the Darwin stare. It was a look that said, Yeah? So?Well, isn't that kind of unusual?She considered for a moment. Is a bit, I suppose. And will we be following a horticultural theme throughout the meal? Her expression contorted in a deeply pained look, as if she were trying to suck her face into the back of her head. What?Will the main course arrive in a wheelbarrow? I elaborated helpfully. Will you be serving the salad with a pitchfork?Oh, no. It's just the bread that's special.I'm so pleased to hear it.
