“Bread is the king of the table and all else is merely the court that surrounds the king. The countries are the soup, the meat, the vegetables, the salad but bread is king.”

Lost On A Rainy Night
Lost on a rainy night, a nun stumbles across a monastery and requests shelter there. Fortunately, she's just in time for dinner and was treated to the best fish and chips she'd ever tasted.
After dinner, she went into the kitchen to thank the chefs.
She was met by two of the Brothers. The first one says, "Hello, I am Brother Thomas, and this is Brother James."
"I'm very pleased to meet you," replies the nun. "I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful dinner. The fish and chips were the best I've ever had! Out of curiosity, who cooked what?"
Brother James replied, "Well, I'm the fish friar."
She turned to Brother Thomas and said, "Then you must be...?"
"Yes... I am the chip monk."
Sunchokes (Jerusalem artichoke) make a delicious substitute in recipes that ask for water chestnuts or jicama.
