Actually yes, we had milk. Just no bread. That's it, our customers had to get by without their daily bread. None of them, as far as I'm aware, reacted well to the suggestion that they buy a loaf tin, some strong flour, salt and yeast, go home and make their own.
Then again, as far as I'm aware none of the kiddies suggested to desperate customers that while we might not be able to provide factory bread (the supplier having completely screwed up and Not Put Our Delivery Onto the Delivery Vehicle - driven by a frenchman whose response to any such catastrophe is a classically ineffectual gallic shrug) we can certainly supply all the ingredients for making bread.
You see bread is made with flour and yeast and water and a pinch of salt. Buy ingredients, tin if wishing to bake a tin-shaped loaf, go home, read instructions should yeast have been purchased in dry packet form. Proceed as instructed. Be patient. Enjoy.
Simple when you know how.
