– It's intriguing to think how flatbreads have taken over modern cuisine.
– I didn't realise they had.
– Well, what about the pitta, and the tortilla, and the chappati? Even the pizza, I suppose, now that I think about it. They are all-pervasive.
– Are they, though? I go for weeks without eating any.
– But what are sandwiches, if not two flatbreads, sandwiched together? With a filling.
– I'm not sure sandwiches count. They are surely only thin slices of a thick loaf.
– But only because our unimaginative British cuisine is yet to invent a true flatbread. So we have to make do with making unflat breads and trimming them down to size.
– I never thought of it like that.
