Great Zeus! We are threatened with a huge snowstorm tomorrow here in RI. Every Rhode Island household must be stocking up on milk and bread, the basic stuff of life and sustainers-through-tempests.
We of this state are noted for this peculiarity.
Once, while flying over the Swiss Alps en route to Italy, I peered out a cabin window to see a vista of snow-capped mountains. Alarmed, I asked a stewardess if she would bring me a bread roll and a glass of milk.
Couldn't help it. It was an ingrained trait.
