Theologically, our Georgian friend was a bit confused, and probably did not mean it literally. In Middle Eastern cultures, bread is very important. In a way, all bread is sort of a type of Christ's Body, like trees are a kind of natural type of the Cross. I mean "type" very loosely here. But, anyway, in those cultures, to throw away bread is like a crime. In Iraq, if someone drops a piece of bread from the table by accident, he picks it up, kisses it, and puts it back on the table.
