Its not supposed to be flatbread though, its a tortilla
- dekhn 4y agoWouldn't you place tortilla in the general flatbread category? Every culture has a flatbread.
- Ekaros 4y agoI wouldn't even place it in bread category. Is a pie crust in a pie also flatbread?
- 7speter 4y agoI guess now that I looked it up. Wikipedia calls it a flatbread but it has more in common with a biscuit since its unleavened and usually made with lard…
- thaumasiotes 4y ago> Every culture has a flatbread. They do? Bread in any form is not a major element of every culture. The Hawaiian equivalent seems to have been poi, which isn't even solid.
- hbarka 4y agoNative Hawaiians had breadfruit. A Navajo friend of mine made amazing flatbread. They call it Fry Bread. Tastes wonderful.
- dekhn 4y agoI'm always looking for counterexamples of my claim.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoThe obvious places to look are Polynesia (as mentioned), Australia, and sub-Saharan Africa. What are the indigenous flatbreads?
- thaumasiotes 4y agoFollowing up in another way, Eskimo culture can be safely assumed to lack flatbread since the diet lacked pretty much any plant-based element. Any other non-agricultural cultures, like pygmies, would also lack the ability to produce bread. (Not to say they don't eat it today; pygmies are commercially entwined with the settled people around them.)
