I know. Me too. I know exactly what type of bread you mean but I can't think of the name. My dad would actually have it delivered from the other side of town on Saturdays. He missed his N.Y.C. breads.

Potatoes and eggs were my favorite as well, but peppers and eggs good too.

What they could all do with such simple ingredients.

p.s.
My dad's parents (and all their HUGE family of cousins, etc.) came from Laurenzana Potenza Basilicata Italy to New York City's "Little Italy".
From there they all branched out "later". My grandmother's brother's daughters moved to West Hartford Connecticut area plus other "cousins" to that area. Some are now on Cape Cod, MA.
Ditto for her husband's family (my grandfather)......many went to Connecticut for jobs. Others followed the river up to the Great Lakes region ; while others went to Canada....some stayed upstate N.Y.
