TIDBITS

­

1) Flatbread is great. It sure can satisfy any hunger. Flatbread is great. Just let it dry out and it can patch sails.

­

2) Columbus used dried flatbread to patch his ship’s sails during his epic voyage of discovery in 1492.

­

3) Columbus and his Spanish explorers gave the natives flatbread. In return, the local tribes presented the adventurers with corn. Relations between the two peoples would soon deteriorate, but it wasn’t the flatbread’s fault.
