A Challah

A challah is a braided bread - With butter, it’s delish. It looks impressive when it’s whole And waiting on a dish. But when it’s time to eat it, Many raise a bread knife - but, It’s so much better with a piece Ripped from the loaf - not cut. I always grab a hunk this way; Its texture, so enticing, Is pillowy and soft and doesn’t Taste the same with slicing. Here’s one more tip - some bakers Overstep and are quite brazen, But to me, it is a shonda* Eating challah filled with raisin. *a disgrace

It does sound delightful. Sorry, but I have a fondness for raisins. Thanks for this homespun poem.
