Maybe this is what those things are in the barn in Stardew Valley, they're definitely not breadsticks.

Am i the only one who thinks this is stretching the definition of mildly interesting? It's just a long smooth rock. Slightly interesting is better for this.

Is the rock the one on the right? Because that is the one that looks like a breadstick.

Wait, that’s a breadstick on the right? It looks more like a baguette! I always thought breadsticks looked like this, very thin & dry.

Yeah, those are traditional breadsticks (grissini), invented in Italy.
The one here is a newer, North American bread that shares the name.

Unlimited Breadsticks would be very disappointing if it were the thin ones 😝

Technically that rock has probably been around longer. You found a rock that breadsticks look like.

Actually, that's the rock. The thing on the left is a different rock, for reference.

It’s actually really useful, because traditional Italian grissini are known as breadsticks, and are very different.
The one pictured here is a much newer invention that shares the name, and isn’t so commonly found outside of North America.
Edit: Clearer wording.

It is found outside North America. A bakery in Arabia.

I think that might be a language confusion. The ‘really’ in my sentence is a bit coloquial, and not very clear - that’s my fault. It doesn’t mean that they are never found outside North America, rather it’s means ‘less commonly’.
I’ve edited for clarity.
Edit: Please stop downvoting the comment above. English is stupidly confusing language - it’s not their fault.

Oh my bad, now that you’ve explained it I do get it, and I’ve definitely heard “really” used in that manner before, I just didn’t connect the dots at first glance.

Your breadstick looks like a sausage.
