Spenser
∞
I read the Robert B. Paker Spenser novels voraciously in the 80s. Spenser often eats food with Syrian bread. What the hell is “Syrian bread?” I wondered.
I’m currently listening to the audiobook of “Early Autumn,” which is not one I have re-read in more than 30 years. Spenser is eating Syrian bread again.
Google did not exist when I first read the books, but it does now. And now I know:
“Syrian bread” is another name for pita bread.
