Nasrudin’s Delicacy

nasrudin-bread[dropcap type=”2″]N[/dropcap]asrudin and two other travelers stopped to eat the lunches each of them had packed for their journey.

One of the travelers bragged, “I only eat roasted salted pistachios, cashews, and dates.”
The other said, “Well, I only eat dried salmon.”

Then both men looked at Nasrudin, waiting to hear what he would say.

Seconds later, Nasrudin held up a piece of bread and confidently announced, “Well, I only eat wheat, ground up and carefully mixed with water, yeast, and salt, and then baked at the proper temperature for the proper time.”
