I saw an episode of Andrew Zimmer’s show on the Travel Channel where he was in Haiti and the people were making bread and stretching the batter out with mud. They baked them on hot rocks and they were eaten by the local populace. Mud bread. There was more dirt than flour in that bread...and that was before the earthquake. I can’t imagine what it must be like there now.

I don’t know if that is what I saw too. I think it might have been a different show. Nevertheless, they were selling “Dirt cookies”. I think the “recipe” was rancid butter, water and DIRT! this was how the unemployed and street children were making money to survive. It ripped my heart out. I even called my kids in to watch it to give them that, “don’t EVER complain about there not being “anything to eat””, speech.
