עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
הָבוּ לָנוּ מַשְׁקֶה
מִיט אַ בִּיסֶל קאַשקע
אָז נשירה וְנָרֹן
עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
מוּכָנִים כְּבָר אָנוּ
לֶאֱכוֹל כּוּלָנוּ
וְנׁאמָר בְּתֵיאָבוֹן

A TIME I WAS REALLY HUNGRY
When I was like five, I went to a bar mitzvah and I didn't like the food there. At the party I was very hungry and luckily I got bar mitzvah candy, you know, the ones that you throw at the bar mitzvah person. Even after that I was still hungry. I didn't eat until the next day.

For a fascinating read about the rabbis' attitudes about food, why two loaves, and which foods should not be eaten because they will give you bad breath, or even worse, intestinal troubles, go to the source above by clicking on the underlined heading, and read through for a while. You won't be disappointed. Add quotes that you find interesting or intriguing here:
This says that we gather two loaves of 🍞 on Friday because we can't gather bread on Saturday.
-Nathan
Thanks for all of the food that I just ate/will eat, I am grateful.

Most days we say birkat hamazon and it doesn't really affect us. We don't really know the meaning of it and so it doesn't impact us in our lives. We just say it and don't learn about it after.
