[Cz-L] Buterbrot

In 1944 and - 45 there was still war.
 Very little food . All resources for the war effort.
   The "coffin" bread the Soviets baked was unconsumable.
   Black and hard , a mixture of wheat, corn beans with bubbles
   of green liquid wich formed during the baking process.
    After a day or two it became solid as a brick .
     Therefore it was also nicknamed "the brick".
   At school they came to our assistance to feed the hungry
    pupils and at the intermissions we got snacks.
     Slices of brick bread wit a spread of brown wet sugar.
              They called it "buterbrot"- russian for sandwich.
        From the German "Butterbrot".
       There was no butter and very little bread in it but it was delicious.
       And we had to win a war.
       Hardy
