0) Largely vegetable but with vital mineral content.
1) Is it normally found in a normal home? No, but there would not necessarily be anything abnormal about a house in which it was found.
2) Is it bigger than a normal 800g loaf? No - it would fit inside my breadbox.
3) Is it man made. Yes.
4) Is it edible? Probably, but I'd have to be pretty hungry before I found out for sure.
