The “older generation” is familiar with the expression, “The greatest thing since sliced bread”. Anyone younger than about 60 probably wonders what is so great about sliced bread. They, of course, are not aware that sliced bread is a fairly recent invention. Naturally, there was a time when one way for folks to get bread was to bake it themselves, although many larger towns and cities did have commercial bakeries.
