Bread is the head of everything. Proverbs about bread
In the memory of the Russian people there are many proverbs and sayings about bread, about the attitude towards it.
Bread is the basis of life and well-being, a guarantee of future success, a symbol of human joy and happiness.
“There will be bread, so everything will be”;
"There will be bread, there will be a song."
The difficult and meager life of a Russian peasant farmer in the old days was reflected in proverbs and sayings that were widely used in the last century:
“Where the bipod plows, there is a crumb of bread”;
Bread and water are peasant food”;
"Bread father, water mother";
“Bread will feed, water will drink”;
"Bread and kvass - that's all we have";
“As long as there is bread and water, everything is not a problem.”
Rye bread is the main peasant product. And it is no coincidence that in folk sayings and proverbs it is put at the forefront, it is opposed to other dishes, any other food:
“Buckwheat porridge is our mother, and rye bread is our father”;
"Rye bread for wheat roll grandfather."
Bread is a symbol of hospitality, the basis of both a dinner party and an everyday, everyday table:
"There will be bread - there will be lunch";
“Lunch is thin if there is no bread”;
“There is not a piece of bread, and there is longing in the tower, and there is an edge of bread, and paradise under the spruce”;
"Bread on the table - and the table is a throne, but not a piece of bread - and the table is a board";
"For bread and salt, every joke is good";
“Though a piece of bread, but a quarter of millet, from the affectionate owner and that treat.”
And although it was noticed among the people that “not a fur coat, but bread warms,” nevertheless, simple satiety and thoughtless satiety have never been an end in itself for him. That is why it was said:
“You will not be satisfied with bread alone”;
"Do not be full of a piece, but be full of a friend";
"Get angry, fight, and come together for bread and salt."
Bread is obtained through labor and sweat. And in folk proverbs it is said about it like this;
“He who looks at the sky, he sits without bread”;
“You won’t get bread by self-indulgence”;
"Then the extracted bread and stale is sweet";
"A grain saves a pood";
“Not the bread that is in the field, but the one that is in the bin” (i.e., harvested);
“Bread in the bin is like a master in the house.”
A kind, sly smile illuminates many folk sayings about bread, about the signs of a good worker, inseparable from his attitude to bread:
“What is the bread, such is the case” (i.e., if you eat, then you work well);
"The plowman's hand is black, but the bread is white";
“The zealous one laughs with bread, and the lazy one cries without bread”;
“Don’t open your mouth at someone else’s loaf, but put it in early and save your own.”
Genuine folk wisdom, subtle and sensitive sharpness were reflected in such proverbs:
“Without bread, everything will become boring”;
“Kalach will become boring, but bread will never”;
“No matter how much you think, you can’t think of anything better than bread and salt.”
Many listeners who sent us these and other folk proverbs expressed their thoughts about the role and place of bread in our modern life. In a letter from Olga Shevchuk from the Vinnytsia region we read: “Bread is life itself. And this word must be written with a capital letter!
Leningrader Pavel Stepanovich Karpenko writes: “We should all treat bread as a sacred thing, because bread is the basis of everything. Growing bread is a laborious and honorable job, therefore it is necessary to protect and spend bread as a vital treasure. And respect for bread should be the highest.”
“The task of adults,” writes Olga Grigorievna Klyueva from Leningrad, an educator-methodologist kindergarten- to instill in children respect for bread, to teach them to cherish every crumb of bread, to highly appreciate the work of the peasant.
If all those who sent us letters could meet and talk about a topic that is of concern to them: “Attitude towards bread,” this would be a serious, very important and sincere conversation.
A large flow of letters was associated with the assessment in proverbs and sayings of such social evils as drunkenness and alcoholism.
Bread - one of the oldest and most popular food product among almost all peoples. Being the basis of any diet, it has become a symbol of life itself, spiritual saturation, a guarantee of happiness and prosperity. Bread occupies a central role in a variety of beliefs and rituals: it is met with dear guests, go to woo, bless the newlyweds, and commemorate the dead with him. In the sacrament of Holy Communion, under the guise of bread, believers receive the true Body of the Savior, and thereby unite with the Creator. Bread as a bright element household culture found expression in numerous works of art.
Yakov Akim
Wheat
Man puts grain in the ground,
It will rain - the grain is irrigated.
Steep furrow and soft snow
The grain will be sheltered from everyone for the winter.
In the spring the sun will rise to its zenith
And the new spikelet will gild.
There are many ears in the harvest year,
And the man will remove them from the field.
And the golden hands of the Bakers
Ruddy bread will be kneaded quickly.
And the woman on the edge of the board
Ready bread cut into pieces.
To all who cherished the spikelet of bread,
Conscience will get a piece.
Better is bread and salt in peace and without sorrow, than many dishes of great value in sorrow and grief.
Saint John Chrysostom
In the sweat of your face you shall eat your bread until you return to the ground from which you were taken, for dust you are and to dust you shall return.
Old Testament. Genesis chapter 3
Poor city people who don't know what fresh is wheat bread from a Russian stove! What do you eat? Is this food - bread-brick! Do you really not understand the charm of the carpet, which has the shape of the earth, moon, sun; don't you know that nature does not tolerate parallelepipeds, their sharp corners, their dull completeness? Bread must be like the sun, poor city people!
Vil Lipatov, “And it's all about him” (1984)
Always remember that all you need to satisfy your hunger is a piece of bread and a ladle of water.
Alexander Radishchev, "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow" (1790)
If there are no teeth, you will always chew bread,
If there is no bread - that's a bitter misfortune!
Saadi (13th century), Iranian-Persian poet and philosopher
Rye bread is not boring, they eat it all their lives and, if possible, every day, but its smell and taste do not bother. Here from terrible cream cakes it may well become ill, but not from bread. Mikhail Svetlov wrote: “Each, even the most delicious food has a taste, and rye bread There is a taste, but no aftertaste.
In general, "if bread is on the table, then the table is a throne, and there is not a piece of bread, so the table is a board."
Arkady Spichka, “The Bachelor’s Drinking Book”, 2001
Mother baked bread twice a week. There was always a jar of sourdough in the glacier, and she never worried about the yeast. The bread came out fluffy and toasty, sometimes rising two or three inches off the pan. Taking the loaves out of the oven, the mother smeared the brown crust with butter and let the bread cool. But the buns were even better. Mother put them in the oven in such a way that they would be ripe for dinner. Buns from the heat, from the heat - just delicious! They were cut, smeared with oil, and it immediately melted; some kind of jam or jam made from apricots with nuts was put on top, and then nothing else went into the mouth, o although there was other food on the table. And sometimes, especially in summer, for dinner they gave a thick slice of bread with a piece of cold butter. Sprinkle sugar on top - and no cake is needed. Or you steal a thick circle of sweet Bermuda onions from the kitchen, put between two crusts of bread and butter - and, even though you go around the whole world, you will not find anything tastier.
Dalton Trumbo, "Johnny Got a Rifle" (1939)
Do not feed with words instead of bread.
Aristophanes, ancient Greek playwright
All news, with the exception of the price of bread, is meaningless and irrelevant.
Charles Lam (1775 - 1834) English poet, publicist and literary critic

Boris Pasternak
Bread
You've been accumulating conclusions for half a century,
But you don't put them in a notebook,
And if you yourself are not crippled,
He must have understood something.
You have understood the bliss of occupation,
Good luck - law and secret.
You realized that idleness is a curse
And there is no happiness without achievement.
What awaits altars, revelations,
Heroes and bogatyrs
The dense kingdom of plants,
Mighty kingdom of animals.
What is the first such revelation
Remained in the chain of fate
Great-grandfather as a gift to generations
Centuries-grown bread.
What a field in rye and wheat
Not only calls for threshing,
But once this page
Your ancestor wrote about you
That this is his word
His unprecedented act
In the midst of the earth's cycle,
Births, sorrows and deaths.
1956
The word "bread" found, restored among all this its symbolic meaning- daily bread. Bread as a way of life, bread as the best gift of the earth, a source of human strength.

« You listen to me. Now, when I get up, I take a piece of bread and say: remember, Lord, all those who died of hunger, who did not wait to eat their fill of bread.
And I said to myself: when I have bread left, I will be the richest person.»

Baking bread for me is a way of meditation. I take pleasure in cutting fluffy dough, determining the right amount by eye, measuring the right portion on the scales to get the perfect loaf homemade bread.
I love the way the baguette sausage squirms in my palms as I roll it out. I like how the raisin roll “sighs” when I hit it with my fist for the first time.

Bread is a generous gift of nature, a food that cannot be replaced by anything else. Having fallen ill, we lose the taste for bread last; and as soon as it appears again, it is a sign of recovery.

Teacher: Dear guests, I invite you to get-togethers with the hospitable hostesses Maryushka and Daryushka! And we will talk about Bread.
“Bread is the head of everything!” - says an old Russian proverb. Yes, Bread has always been the most important product, the measure of all values. And in our age of scientific and technological achievements, it is the fundamental principle of the life of peoples. People have escaped into space, conquer rivers, seas, extract oil, gas, and bread remains bread. History shows that although man does not live by bread alone, nevertheless, it is with it that we determine the measure of human well-being first of all.
Hostess 1:
Bread is the head of everything
Words live forever.
Wither leaves, grass.
Bread is the head of everything!
In the storms of eras, names
Lives quietly, right
Truth of all times:
Bread is the head of everything!In the distant lands of the village,
Moscow in the heart of the country
Everywhere we are with him light:
Bread is the head of everything!True, in our house
Will always be alive.
The world is bread for everything
Bread is the head of everything!
Hostess 2: At all times, all nations have had careful attitude to the seed that sprouts life. It contains the life that is given once. That is why, in a quiet, gentle voice, the father said to his son:
"Remember, son, dear words: Bread is the head of everything!
FROM early childhood we endow bread with affectionate epithets: bread, grain, bun, wheat, golden rye, oatmeal. No product enjoys the glory that bread.

Teacher: Well done! In the wisdom of proverbs and sayings, the moral price of bread is clearly visible. And how not to remember the words wonderful person our land - Academician T.S. Maltseva: "Love, respect for bread, like love for the motherland, is absorbed with mother's milk, brought up from childhood."
It hurts to tears to see a piece of bread thrown into the trash. Or in the dining room you can see pieces of bread, buns in the food waste. Yes, we are rich in bread, but this wealth does not negate the need to take good care of it. Take a closer look at yourself: has it become a habit for you to treat bread in a businesslike way? For lunch, breakfast, dinner, cut it so that there are no pieces left. And if there is an extra, use the leftovers differently - in breadcrumbs, in additives to dishes.
Indeed, from dry stale bread you can cook delicious nutritious dishes, treats for tea - a cake with raisins and nuts, a rye crackers biscuit, a cake - potatoes with cocoa, charlotte with apples, croutons with berries.
Save your bread! Let a little frugality become an inner guarantee of each of us.
And always remember:
Bread is earth
Bread - air
Bread - water
This is something without which there can be no life.
Hostess 2: And do you know that, at 5-6 thousand years ago, the ancient Egyptians used yeast, thanks to which the bread was soft and fluffy. The Greeks and Romans began to practice the art of baking sour bread. In Greece in the fifth century BC, this bread was considered a delicacy and cost much more than unleavened bread. Eat it only wealthy people. Such stale bread was highly valued. Such bread was like a healing remedy against various diseases.
In ancient Rome, Egypt, ancient greece bread was baked in special bakeries, the skill of the bakers was highly valued.
In Rome, a thirteen-meter monument to the baker Mark Virgil Eurysacs, erected 2 thousand years ago, has survived to this day.
In Russia, already in the eleventh century, bread was baked from rye flour. The secret of this preparation was kept in the strictest confidence and passed down from generation to generation. In addition to rye bread, monastic bakeries baked prosvirs, bread from wheat flour, poles, kalachi.
In the tenth-thirteenth centuries, they baked bread with honey, poppy seeds, cottage cheese, carpets, pies with various fillings.
The work of bakers in ancient rome, and ancient egypt, and in Tsarist Russia it was the hardest, all operations were performed manually. But bakers in Russia have always enjoyed special respect among the people.
Hostess 2: What a tremendous work many generations of people have done over the course of several centuries to get such bread as we eat every day!
Bread appeared in ancient times, over 15 thousand years ago. According to scientists, it was in those distant prehistoric times that man first began to collect and then sow cereals, which were the ancestors of our current wheat, rye, oats, and barley.
In the Stone Age, people ate grains raw. Archaeologists have established that the great-great-grandmother of bread was a thin porridge made from grains. People ate such food until they learned how to drink cakes from thick grain porridge.
The densely burnt pieces did not much resemble our bread, but it was with their appearance that the era of bread baking began on earth.
Then people learned to grind grains between stones and mix the resulting flour with water. So the first millstones, the first flour and the first bread appeared.
It took several millennia until people learned how to make bread from dough. It was the greatest invention of mankind.
Hostess 1: Earth! Nurse mother!
Then a piece of bread was obtained with the blood of the hard-working, callused hands of the peasants. The plow was the main tool for cultivating grain crops.
On millions of peasant strips half a century ago, Sokha was the ruler.
Her wooden strength is minuscule
Her unpretentious appearance is inconspicuous,
But often fed Russia,
Although the plowman himself was not fed up with this.
Today the plow settled in the museum,
But we Russians must not forget
All the good things done by her
For our great beloved country!
Hostess 2: Do you know what kind of bread was baked in royal bakeries 300 years ago?
Of course kalachi! A document has been preserved with a list of dishes that Peter I gave to his palace servants on his birthday. It was Kalachi!
Kalach is not just a delicacy. It is a symbol of love, care, attention, hope….
- Saika - this is the name of a bun made from a special dough. The name is Estonian and means " White bread»,
- The name "Kalach" comes from the word "wheel"
- Kulebyaka translated from Finnish means fish, and in the dictionary of V. Dahl the word "kulebyaka" was formed from the word "kulebyachit" - roll with hands, sculpt.
- Rasstegay is a pie that is not closed, “unbuttoned”.
- Cheesecake - these are round pies from the word "vatra", i.e. "fire", "hearth", similar to the sun
- Baton - the name came from French. Baton is a "stick, rod."
- The bun is diminutive form boules. The name comes from the Polish language.
- Or such instructive story. The baker Ivan Filippov invented raisin baits in this way. The governor-general of Moscow was served I. Filippov's saiki every morning. And one day I caught a polar cod with a cockroach. Filippov was not taken aback and explained that it was a sika with raisins, and he ate it in front of everyone. The governor-general did not suspect anything, and then he praised Filippov for such tales.
Hostess 1: The work of bakers was and remains grateful, though not easy. But the glory of this work is enormous, and the glory of bread in the house is eternal.
There are many honored bakers from Belgorod. We tell them "Thank you!"
I think there are future bakers and confectioners among us. We will continue their work and will delight both our family and Belgorod residents with delicious products.
And when you enter our technical school, you inhale the appetizing smell of fresh buns, pies with jam, apples. And mentally you say: Thanks to our masters: Urakaeva Elena Viktorovna, Chueva Galina Nikolaevna for their delicious work and golden hands ...
Your loaf, baked by you, brought us a joyful mood and a piece of good health.
The hostess offers to taste fragrant, lush products made from yeast dough: loaf, homemade buns, pies, baked pies with various minced meats, pie with fish and cabbage.
Hostess 2: Rich in bread and our corner of the earth - Belgorod. Store shelves are always full of bread:
- Darnitsky new,
- Stoilensky with the addition of seaweed to bread, which solves the problem of supplying our body with iodine. The manufacturer of these breads is JSC "Kolos"
- Bread Belgorod rye yeast-free. The manufacturer of this bread is the plant "Gurman"
- The shelf life of these breads is 72 hours.
- Fragrant and lush white bread, ruddy loaves, sliced long loaves, travel bun, city bun. They are great for making sandwiches. And their shelf life is also 72 hours. And what could be tastier than hearth bread, its golden crust with garlic and bacon!
The hostess brings in a loaf.
We got the role to start
Don't mess with loads
We brought you bread and salt
Russians for gatherings.
The tradition lives on
From the older generation.
Rituals and words are important
From our past.
And so please accept
The one who came to the gatherings
On our holiday plate
From our hands and bread and salt.
Hostess 1: You can make a wide variety of sandwiches from bread. There are a great many of them. Only in Denmark there are about 2000 species.
"Russian kalach" - braided bread, Slavic word, the name comes from the common Slavic.
Moscow bakers assured that kalachi can be baked only in Moscow, on the water from Moscow - the river.
"Kulebyaki" - why is this name of a bread product called kulebyaka? There are many opinions on this. Vladimir Dahl's explanation is interesting: "kulebyachit" - roll with your hands, sculpt, cook.
"Without a cake, a birthday boy is not a birthday boy"
“A quiver is good for arrows, dinner is for pies.”
These Russian proverbs speak of the long-standing popularity of pies. This dish does not appear on the table every day, mainly on holidays.
It is no coincidence, perhaps, that the word "pie" comes from the word "feast".
Guests of gatherings are invited to remember and recite verses about bread:
Amazing smell of bread
This scent has been familiar to us since childhood.
It smells of bread and the steppe, and the sky,
And grass, and fresh milk,
Melted snow and spring thunderstorm,
And a man's salty sweat.
And sometimes a man's tear .... (V. Gorokhov)
Bread of Russia! Strong bread of Russia!
How can we not admire you
If you are from the boundless blue
You whip like unrestrained surf!
Bread of Russia, bread of my Fatherland,
Hefty, heroic, as always,
Life created you for life
And labor for new labor. (E. Vinokurov)
Guests thank for the warm welcome, delicious pies.
