Kittiwat Unarrom is an extreme baker. He bakes bread that realistically resembles body parts. He sells his bruised and battered heads, feet, and diverse internal organs at a bread shop in Thailand. It probably doesn’t matter how it tastes; one look at his work and you’ll lose your appetite.

It is part of an extensive collection of bread memorabilia owned by American Pan, a manufacturer of bread baking equipment. Extreme Bakers passing through Urbana won’t want to miss the accompanying Bread Museum.

The Banana originated in Southeast Asia, and spread from India to the Philippines, New Guinea etc. It was cultivated by about 2,000 B.C.E., but these people were rice eaters. Wheat was unknown there, so breads were not part of their culture.
