Some time ago the German magazine SPON carried a story which I only can recommend to anybody, a kind of love declaration for German bread. A paragraph especially fully meets my opinion:

But much nicer than devouring something edible while watching TV it would be to revive a typical German tradition: “Abendbrot”. Most European countries are having a “warm” dinner, in Germany in the past we had an archaic kind of meeting at the kitchen table. So why not: just buy a couple of local specialities and ask friends to the table, maybe the light cold supper may be the hype of the next season?

No, you do not need to feed yourself in front of TV. Bute Hanna really does not realise that during the week, when I go for a warm luch with colleagues, I like cold cuts on bread in the evening and not a warm meal. And of course on Friday as well when I return from the working week in Hamburg to Grypphiusstraße at home.
