breadclock
/ˈbrɛdˌklɒk/nounVerified NewAlso in: Brotuhr (Deutsch) · panómetro (Español) · painchro (Français)
The loaf's three-stage lifespan: perfect today, toast-only tomorrow, history the day after.
The breadclock runs regardless of appetite. Stage one is worshipped plain; stage two is forgiven under butter and heat; stage three is a ingredient in crumbs or a decision. Households that bake two loaves at once are merely running two clocks, and both end the same way.
Etym. — bread + clock — the countdown baked into every loaf.
Rel. — pantryillusion
