    A plain breadstick at 20kCal is half to a third the calories of a typical biscuit (cookie for Americans ;) ) but how is it in other regards? I'm not talking about a breadstick covered in salt, but your bog-standard plain variety.

    Well, you're in a strange restaurant indeed if you're standing on breadsticks.

    I've never seen a 20 cal breadstick, I'm thinking it must be like a pretzel and I am eh about those. The soft salty Olive Garden kind used to be a favorite of mine, those and the ones from Little Caesar's a million years ago.

    Ok the thin ones like pretzels I can do without (like pretzels really, unless they have cinnamon sugar on them LOL). But the ones from restaurants, count me in, although the calories for those suck and it's impossible to stop at one.

    I never heard of Olive Garden but they do nice ones in Cafe Rouge, served with a pot of melted garlic butter for dipping. I will save them for a day when I am simply NOT counting calories at all :)

    I'm pro-breadstick-choice. The more buttery they are, the more likely they'll end up in my mouth.

    Wow, that sounds horrible. Oh well, it stays.

    When standing on breadsticks, one should stick to the middle....
