This is something I often eat as a snack. You pour some oil on a plate and dip some bread (preferably not the sweet fake bread common in the anglosphere, that stuff is vile, it should at least have a crust) in it and sprinkle some salt to taste on top.

It is extremly quick, very cheap, vegan and somewhat healthy. I also like it because i can get a lot of calories very quickly as i tend to eat too little.

This also works with salad dressings and all kinds of vegetable oils and sauces really, but i like the taste of olive oil and it is common everywhere and also healthier .

      If you are pescetarian, add some tuna on it, and preferably put it in the oven for a few minutes

    A bit of balsamic vinegar brings it up a notch, and I'll sprinkle a bit of this stuff on top as well

    Congrats, you discovered Greek diet. It's literally dipping bread in olive oil and souvlaki.

    I do balsamic vinegar and olive oil and I can eat a whole bloomer if I don't watch myself.

    It's just so good.

      It's weird seeing the original use of the word entree. Where are you from, globally?

          Ah, in the states, entrees means main course, dunno why

            Seems to be a solely North American thing that no one else does, as ever.

            Do Italian Restaurants there do Antipasti, Primo, Secundo etc to define Starters, Pasta and Meat?

            That said bread is probably closer to an Hors d'Oeuvres than an Entree, which would come slightly after.

              No, in the states every restaurant has "appetizer, soup/salad, entree, desert." Italian placea have entrees, even in cultures places like NY and SF

    I mean healthy it ain't. Sodium, carb, fat.

    Less than potato chips, sure, but let's not kid ourselves.

      Those are all things that your body needs. If your whole snack-time consists of those and you eat light&balanced breakfast/lunch/dinner, it's fine.

      With whole bread and light use of the olive oil and salt it’s not bad, but that’s probably not what’s going on here

        In countries with good bread you can only buy whole bread, like what is the opposite of whole bread? That anglo cake masquerading as bread?

          Isn't whole bread brown bread, like this ? if so, I guarantee you most bread in my country at least (France), including the classic baguette, is not whole bread - it's made with white flour.

      Olive oil is the kind of fat most Americans don't get enough of

    You can throw in a pepper flake or two for some heat the oil sucks that up really well

    absolutely, best with a home sourdough and a bit of salt on top imo. spices are also welcome if you wanna enhance, and then tomatoes to make it into a nice quick vegan breakfast
