When you say bread, you probably refer to the version you are used to at home. I experienced the difference perfectly while living in Australia. Australia, you might ask, how different can it be? And yet, bread from home was simply a different item compared to the ubiquitous Australian toast bread. And furthermore there is the question of the form of the loaf. Now, what are all the other shapes, like flat bread? See what people refer to as bread in different parts of the world.
