White bread is like cake – doesn’t fill you up! (Smuidrīte Jinkinson)

Excerpt from an interview with Smudirīte Jinkinson in the United Kingdom in 2016, when the museum visited her during a field expedition.

And then, when we arrived in Corby, somehow – I don’t know how – they [my parents] found out that rye flour could be ordered from Scotland. So they ordered flour from Scotland, and then my mother baked bread almost every week. Because really, as she used to say, white bread is like cake – it doesn’t fill you up. You eat a slice of rye bread and right away you feel that you’ve actually eaten. The flour came by post! … I remember when I was in grammar school – [my friends] were Penny and Marina … and I don’t know how we had decided that we wouldn’t stay at school for lunch. I know my mother had baked bread, and we went to my house, because it wasn’t very far from the school. And we had a really good lunch at my place with this rye bread. They liked it so terribly much!
