There are several situations where a piece of stiff bread is the best and only option for a scoop. For a meze starter with a big bowl of humous, radishes are ok, but a warm piece of flatbread is so much better. If you have spent the time and money to prepare a baked camembert with garlic and rosemary, a carrot is a poor substitute for a nice piece of flatbread. Lastly, the creamy sauce of a lamb pasanda screams for a naan bread, but a piece of flatbread with the optional spices is a great substitute.
