On most trips, a mediocre cheese plate is about as exciting as it gets. But<em data-node-id=\"2.5\"> you know<\/em> it\u2019s really bad when the flight attendant is apologizing before they even serve it. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Then again, this particular apology might have more to do with Tom Papa\u2019s well-documented obsession with bread. The comedian-slash-podcast host\u2014whose show is literally called \u201cBreaking Bread\u201d and described as a mix of \u201ccomedy and carbs\u201d\u2014actually received an \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d over the in-flight bread situation. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cI got recognized on American Airlines. I was on a flight, and the flight attendant came up and he\u2019s like, \u2018Hey Tom.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, oh, he knows me as a comedian! And he said, \u2018I just want to apologize, the bread on this flight is awful,\u2019\u201d Papa said on the most recent episode of the <em data-node-id=\"4.1\">Delish<\/em> podcast, <em data-node-id=\"4.3\">SNACKS!<\/em><em data-node-id=\"4.4\"\/> <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cYou\u2019re like, I know. I\u2019ve been on American before,\u201d host and Editorial Director Joanna Saltz joked back.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">To be fair, Papa is more than just a casual bread baker (I\u2019m sure you picked up on that from his podcast name alone). He\u2019s a bread enthusiast. So much so that he\u2019s even launching a full-on bread-making collection with Namb\u00e9. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cI really wanted it to be practical. Ya know, I collect bread items and stuff. I wanted it to be useful. They would design and present them\u2014bench scrapers, and measuring things, and cutting boards,\u201d he said. \u201cEven like the feel of the spatula in my hand, I\u2019d be like \u2018No, this is too fat. It\u2019s not gonna work.\u2019 We went back and forth for like a year.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Luckily, the result is the perfect marriage of both\u2014practical and nice to display in your kitchen. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cEverybody who sees [the collection] just goes, those are beautiful&#8230;And I\u2019m just thinking, yeah, but if you hold that spatula, you can take the bread out of the dutch oven without burning yourself, and it\u2019s a perfect weight,\u201d Papa explained, before adding in: &#8220;I get very sincere when I talk about bread.&#8221; Real.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\"><em data-node-id=\"11.0\"><em data-node-id=\"11.0.0\"><strong data-node-id=\"11.0.0.0\">You can listen to the full episodes on <\/strong><\/em><\/em><em data-node-id=\"11.1\"><a aria-label=\"Link Spotify\" id=\"menur6b9\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6gCfss7E7xYN36yixvsYzP\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6gcfss7e7xyn36yixvsyzp?si=c94779d12fcf405b&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=da7374c2476448c1\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-node-id=\"11.1.0\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6gCfss7E7xYN36yixvsYzP\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Spotify\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\"><em data-node-id=\"11.1.0.0\"><strong data-node-id=\"11.1.0.0.0\">Spotify<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/em><em data-node-id=\"11.2\"><em data-node-id=\"11.2.0\"><strong data-node-id=\"11.2.0.0\"> and <\/strong><\/em><\/em><em data-node-id=\"11.3\"><em data-node-id=\"11.3.0.0\"><strong data-node-id=\"11.3.0.0.0\">Apple<\/strong><\/em><\/em><em data-node-id=\"11.4\"><em data-node-id=\"11.4.0\"><strong data-node-id=\"11.4.0.0\"> or watch them on <\/strong><\/em><\/em><em data-node-id=\"11.5\"><a aria-label=\"Link YouTube\" id=\"menur6bd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@delish\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rmo6mqx38le&amp;t=1s\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-node-id=\"11.5.0\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@delish\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"YouTube\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\"><em data-node-id=\"11.5.0.0\"><strong data-node-id=\"11.5.0.0.0\">YouTube<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/em><em data-node-id=\"11.6\"><em data-node-id=\"11.6.0\"><strong data-node-id=\"11.6.0.0\">.
