The girls on the bus didn't appear to understand my use of the expression (or slices of it) "This bread is so good, it's like cake."  In fact, they seemed unwilling to accept that cake comes ahead of bread in the natural order of flour-based foodstuffs.

But can it be denied that, if bread tastes like cake, it has outperformed its baker's intentions and placed itself in cake's superior realm?  It matters not if one likes bread better than cake. That's simply the way it is. Yet one of the girls implied a belief that cake was not necessarily the preferred baked good in a bread vs. cake hierarchical showdown.

For God's sake, what kind of nation is this?
