Bread in Life and Art

Stand:

Now I would like to reflect a moment on how the soft inside part of the bread is a really useful material for art and creativity. This is not new, as flour and water has always been used to stick paper. This paste, in form of dough has also been used as a moulding material, and I remember as a child sitting around the dining table with my brothers and sisters, playing and making items with the pastry which our mother had made for us.
The soft inside of the loaf! What we understand as the soft inside part of the bread is an artistic tool, as we have seen, but, above all, it signifies the essence of the loaf, (the crust, although equally edible, has the functions of making the soft inside more manageable, and of preserving the softness inside).

In the dictionary, ´miga´is also defined figuratively as the essence of physical things, and it is also used to refer to the importance or transcendence of something, moral or scientific, or an event,etc.: "tiene miga la cosa". Such is the significance of its meaning as essence or nucleus that the phrase, "hacer buenas o malas migas", literally, ´ make good or bad breadcrumbs´, is used to describe the harmony or discord in which one lives with other people.
