But there is still baking to be done in the home, and each country has its favorite kind of home-made bread. Scotland has its oatcakes, and its bannocks made of barley meal. Central America has its tortillas, made of crushed corn. Our Southern states have beaten biscuit, corn pone, and all the delicious hot breads that go with fried chicken, Virginia ham, and candied yams.

但是,人们仍然可以在家里烤面包,每个国家都有自己喜爱的自制面包。苏格兰有燕麦饼,还有用大麦粉做的板子饼。中美洲有玉米饼,是用碾碎的玉米做的。我们南方的州已经打败了饼干、玉米饼和所有与炸鸡、弗吉尼亚火腿和蜜饯山药搭配的美味热面包。

Someone has said, “Tell me what you eat and I’ll tell you what you are.” This may or may not be possible, but it is certainly true that the bread a nation eats tells us a great many things about that nation. When only the rich eat fine white bread, while the poor eat coarse black bread, we know that something is wrong with that nation and trouble is ahead. When fleets of bakery wagons speed through the streets and over the highways carrying millions of loaves of carefully tested, carefully wrapped, fine white bread, we know that the nation is prosperous, because there is food for everyone.

有人说:“告诉我你吃什么,我会告诉你你是什么。”这也许是可能的,也许不是,但是一个国家吃的面包确实告诉了我们关于这个国家的许多事情。当只有富人吃精致的白面包,而穷人吃粗糙的黑面包时,我们就知道这个国家出了问题,麻烦就在前面。当成批的面包车载着经过仔细检验、精心包装的优质白面包疾驰于街道和高速公路上时,我们知道,这个国家是繁荣的,因为每个人都有食物。
