bread basket
Table's carb container
A bread basket is a container for serving bread at a table.
By extension, bread basket refers to an agricultural region that produces large quantities of grain—the American Midwest is called the nation's bread basket.
In older slang, bread basket means the stomach: He took a punch right in the bread basket.
