  Indeed!  You have to see this stuff being made to truly appreciate the
metaphor.  Adobe is a clay compound that had manure and chaff added to
the 'mud' to increase  to the stability and durability (like rebar for
concrete) once it had was dried.  I would never insinuate that
Margritte's cooking resembled such things.......only the possibilities
as a potential building material if sun dried.  It appears that only
Anglo-Europeans made houses of bread.  The 'barbarians' had more sense
and missed the Rennaissance altogether.
