Every country has its own traditions when it comes to its favourite ways to eat bread. The Argentinians are famed for their love of a dollop of dulce de leche – caramelised condensed milk – the Spanish enjoy a garlicky pan con tomate, while the Swedes like their toast topped with skagenröra, a shrimp salad.
