Why buy an entire loaf just to do that?

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Because they don't sell it by the slice?

Why keep it around taking up shelf space, attracting rodents and bugs,
when something you do use, rice, is always on hand?

Well, it was an accidental discovery in an evil moment; and it must be
admitted that WB is completely unattractive to any living thing, let alone
bugs and rodents.

Bread, stale or fresh, works just fine. It sort of rubs and scrubs
the bowl and blade. I don't know why one would need a hard grain to
scour the bowl. A lot of finely powdered spice builds up around the
base of the blade. The softness of the bread just rubs it up and
keeps it in the bread crumbs. But, whatever floats the individual
boat is good.
