Sayings and Proverbs
An infinite number of popular expressions, phrases, sayings and sentences allude to bread as a simile or protagonist of everyday life. The following are some examples that truly contain many realities: You can't fill your belly painting pictures of bread / Make bread while the oven is hot / Never fall out with your bread and butter / If fools ate no bread, corn would be cheap

A Bread Tree?
The breadfruit or breadfruit tree belongs to the family of the moraceae, which reaches a large size and also has large, lobe-shaped leaves. Originally from the Polynesian archipelago, it was introduced to the New World by the English captain William Bligh (1753-1817), who under the command of the ship Bounty, had the mission in 1787 to test its cultivation in the West Indies, as a probable substitute for wheat flour and potatoes. Its fruit is edible, since its abundant endocarp can be boiled or fried in a similar way to a feculent tuberous root.

Bread even in Geography
Also called bread is a type of mountainous formation, typical of granite regions, with a dome shape, much more regular and perfect than in the so-called, but with differences with them. They reach large dimensions and are located more in areas with tropical climates. One of the best known is the Pão de Açucar, a landmark of the Carioca landscape, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
