The disciples broke bread.

If we are to eat the literal flesh and blood of Jesus, it’d better not look or taste like bread and wine unless you hold to it changing at some point later, like after you’re swallowed it.

Otherwise, could you tell us just where you get the literal flesh and blood of Jesus to eat and drink?

Before you make your conclusions I would encourage you to gain an understanding of the philosophical concept of "substance" in which in any objecthood substance is distinct and different from it properties. Please don't continue to shortchange yourself. In your critique of the Eucharist you continue to focus on the properties of the bread and wine and ignore the substance which is the Real Presence of Jesus.

Peace be with you.

I did that, several times. Read the Word.
