[Cz-L] Our daily bread.

Bread was our daily food. If we had some - that is.
  During the war it was issued in daily rations against ration stamps.
  Then came '44 and the Soviets returned and brought with them
  the "coffin" bread. It was black and big and was coffin- shaped.
   It was made of all kind of wheat ,corn and bean flour.
   The ingredients were not properly milled and mixed - bubbles of liquid
unbaked
    stuff were abundant.
     In a few days it was hard as a brick. It also had the shape of a brick.
    In school , the management arranged for pupils to have some food
    and prepared "butterbrots".
     The word comes from German and means butter-spread bread slice.
      In the Russian language it meant a bread sandwich of any sort.
      Our butterbrods were slices of coffin bread with brown sugar spread
      on top.
        It was heaven.
          After victory white bread re-appeared.
        We didn't even remember the taste...
