I should clarify, It is served in "OUR" "Upperclass" Italian restaurants(Not in Italy). You can't get anything but pizza, lasagna, or spaghetti at our not so upperclass restaurant. The better restaurants consider focaccia and olive oil and red wine vinegar a delicacy in our area. I guess because we( us in the middle of nowhere) don't know any better. : ) But I never been more than 300 miles from my birth place so I wouldn't know what the real restaurants in Italy or Spain would serve. : ( Someday I hope to find out!

It is not just in "Upper class " restaurants you get focaccia and dips - if anything it is a "peasant " dish . Any normal restaurant in Italy or Spain will offer olives,pickles, alioli ( olive oil and garlic mix ), olive oil, vinegar and often several types of bread before ordering food. In Spain there is also bread with tomato and garlic which children seem to live off- it is known as the Mediterranean diet . Richard

In upper class Italian restaurants they serve a Focaccia type bread broken up to dip in olive oil and red wine vinegar. They family just loves it that way.

I will not eat soy products, and I have heard bad about canola even though I live in the heart of canola producing land. The last 8 years is mostly GMO type canola being grown before that it was non GMO. I used to worked with cereals breeding program (non-GMO). I do not know if there was any regular breeding program with canola before Monsanto started with GMO product. I have heard that a canola stain can not be taken out with out much difficulty out of clothing if you spill a little margerine or oil. What will it stick like to your insides if it does that to clothing.

    Actually, if I thought bread and other grain products were good
    for me,
I'd just dip it in olive oil if I didn't want butter. Yummy! Forget
    the spread nonsense.
    Step outside the box.
    ******I Ditto that on the Olive Oil...some crushed garlic and a
    good Olive Oil and you are eatin' good:)
    The trick really is to find a decent bread...I like the Ezekiall
    (?) bread from the Health Food Store and it is beneficial to type
O's (thats me) but it is so often frozen or freezer burned: ( V.********************8

    But, since I don't eat grains - its a moot point.
    Olive oil and butter serve me just fine.
    Coconut is detrimental to B blood types,
    according to d'Adamo.
