Can you believe that my brother and his wife feed their maid and gardener only bread for lunch ?

I'm looking after by bro's house while they are away. The maid and gardener are working here today so I asked them what they normally eat for lunch. The reply from both of them was, "Bread".
That's bullsh*t ! I gave them both chicken, rice and gravy.
When my bro comes back next week then we are going to have a chat about Human rights I think.
Just bread is like 1980's Apartheid nonsense !

I worked in a private nursing home for a time, and the owner used to provide food for the nurses, CNA's and others. We were allowed to eat the leftovers from the patient's meals, and if there was not enough of that, there was always a big tub of tuna salad in the fridge in the break room, along with free loaves of bread, free coffee, free cereal, and free soda.

@4meAndyou Well darn, that sounds fine. Tuna salad is good stuff.

@Wraithorn It was great. Canned tuna (or even canned chunk chicken) is usually cheap and easy to fix. Americans eat a lot of peanut butter, also, because it is so cheap, and there is the old fall back, grilled cheese.

One summer I had to feed my sister-in-law's children, and it was and extra expense I could not afford because I wasn't working that summer, so we ate a lot of ramen noodle soup and peanut butter sandwiches.

@4meAndyou Nothing wrong with peanut butter. My favourite is called Black Cat because it contains peanuts only, I love cats and I like Gothic things. So I only ever buy Black Cat. 🐱
