A baker on Boiler Street has asked customers to stop squeezing one particular batch of bread. The request follows discovery that several loaves produce a short whistle when pressed. The baker says a small air pocket formed during steaming. Customers say this is excellent.
By midmorning, a queue had formed specifically to hear the bread. The baker demonstrated once. The loaf whistled. A child whistled back. The loaf did not respond. The baker insists the effect is accidental and has refused requests to produce a full musical set.
One customer asked for a loaf in a lower key. The baker asked him to leave. The bread remains safe to eat. Most of it has been bought for reasons unrelated to hunger.
