Trivial Pursuit
It's for an English word that describes a bread that has been
preserved by toasting or heating. Naturally the bread is no longer
fresh; it's hard and usable only for dunking in soups or stews or
maybe used as a thickener. But the bread keeps for a long while
without
becoming mouldy. As I understand it the bread required no special
handling, just hung
in bags or sacks until it was used.
