I would like to the meaning of "So, we're back to one piece again, are we?" in the next passage.
StartFragment>
A man who dined every day in his favorite restaurant complained about the bread. It wasn't fair, he emphasized, that other restaurants served lots of bread with the meal. But here he gets only one piece. So the next time he came in, they brought him four pieces. He still complained. Couldn't they bring more? On his next visit his server brought him a dozen pieces of bread. The man still complained. For his next visit they put a large basket of bread on the table. But still he complained. After all, the other restaurants give "all the bread you can eat." They decided to be ready for him the next day. They had an enormous loaf of bread prepared. They plopped it down in front of him. It took up half the table and hung over both sides. The chef stood back, pleased with himself, to see how the customer would react.
The customer looked over the loaf and commented, "So, we're back to one piece again, are we?"
