I wasn't there... but as I understand things, you had to leave for a
while right after cutting the loaf.  Given that... (1) you weren't
there to be on the receiving end of an asking, and (2) one might
reasonably assume that you could have accidentally omitted the final
step of moving some freshly sliced bread out to the serving area.

OTOH, if the "eater" knew that the entire loaf was earmarked for later
garlic-and-butter-fication, that's an entire different can of worms.

Ah... now I understand!  :-)))
