breadbaskets

Slang for bellies

Breadbasket has both literal and figurative meanings tied to providing sustenance.

A breadbasket is a basket for serving bread at a table.

By extension, a breadbasket is a region that produces grain abundantly—the agricultural heartland that feeds a nation: Kansas is part of America's breadbasket.

In slang, the breadbasket is the stomach or belly: He took a punch right in the breadbasket.
