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
