First thing’s first, I’m not blasting anyone’s belief system.

We received a bread dough from a neighbor with a photocopied paper attached to it. The paper read clear – the dough’s Hemin, the bread of Catholic saint Padre Pio.

I thought that it was just a small scale thing involving neighbors but since other people (links here and here), wrote this, I thought of writing a post about it too. Very viral of me.

And so is this Hemin. As far as I know, this might not be sanctioned by the Vatican at all. Oh well, initial searches show that it just might be a variant of the Amish Friendship Bread. Wikipedia links that story to a similar recipe called Hermann. Oh and forums discussions had this.

So it’s really been going around like spam. I just hope it doesn’t have any worms and viruses attached to it.

I didn’t get to photograph the Hemin so the photo credit goes to Ade whoever took this picture.
