Mary Tyler Moore voices the title bread in the upcoming animated movie, _The Flying Naan_. Though this heart-warming film has received rave reviews at Cannes, distribution in the US is still being opposed by the powerful and militant American Baker’s Guild, whose ultra-conservative membership generally oppose the introduction of any new breads into the American cuisine. Indeed a delicious Norwegian Fjord Loaf, the number one bread in all of Europe, is virtually unavailable in North America due to the ABG. ---

There IS a short film called “Night of the Living Bread,” based on the 1968 George Romero movie. It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it has no reason to exist. But damn if Rob Zombie hasn’t optioned it for 2016 release. ---

“Dawn of the Living Bread”, a prequel to “Night of the Living Bread” released in 1975 was much more successful. The film is all about sourdough starters that take over a small town in the Mississippi delta. Helen Reddy performed the theme song and did a brief cameo. ---

The San Francisco “earthquake” of 1906 was actually a massive explosion of untended sourdough starter stored in the basement of the Phartuccio Mighty-Fine Bakery. The proprietor, Theo Disgustus Phartuccio, paid over $800,000 in bribes to bury this fact and instead report it as an earthquake. ---

Enrico Caruso was in San Francisco at the time of the great earthquake and later wrote his only opera about it entitled “Getta My Assa The Hell Outta Here!” that most opera critics of the time hailed as the greatest opera since Puccini’s “Blonde Demimondaines Go To A Topless Beach”. The libretto and music for the opera was unfortunately lost when Caruso later sailed on the Lusitania during an explosion of Mt. Aetna.
