  2. Bread is associated with many religions which makes sense as it is said that bread is life.

    Fascinating glimpse of life in Mumbai!

  28. I love breads of the world! I especially love Indian bread.Once at a wonderful Indian restaurant in NYC, we saw a type of bread being made by placing the dough against a deep,cylindrical oven. I think it was roti.

    I've never been to Indian but so far the best Indian food in the world to ME is in London.

    Best,
    Gina
