Thinking about words, as usual

Brioche (bree-aash) is a light sweet pastry or bun.  For lunch today, I plan to order an Avocado Panini.  Our Cafe's menu describes that as "avocado, munster cheese, onion and tomato on freshly baked ciabatta bread."  Wiktionary says "ciabatta" is a broad, flat, white Italian bread.  One day I asked if I could have it on brioche instead, and now prefer it that way.  The illustrations I found show brioche (above) and ciabatta (below).
Compared to brioche, I think ciabatta bread is hard, especially those corners.  That's why I order the softer buns now.  I used to throw away the corners of the ciabatta bread.
