Why can't you use a metal spoon or bowl when making Amish Friendship Bread?
You are not to use a metal spoon or bowl when making Amish Friendship Bread because the recipe is made using sour dough. Sour dough is made by mixing yeast, water, flour and mixing it well. You let it raise and there are several more steps to this, and any good cook book will tell you the rest of the process.
The friendship cake is because you take out a portion of this mixture, which is now called a starter, and give it to a friend. You then add more flour and water to your own mixture and let it raise. And you now have more starter to share with the next new friend you meet. It is like having prepetual yeast.
This is what the cowboys used and why they were called old sour doughs. Now the reason you should not use a metal spoon or bowl, is because the metal reacts with the starter and it does something to the starter. Personally I have used stainless steel bowls and my sour dough came out all right. But the best bowls and spoons for making sour dough is made from wood. But DUDE I say go for it. Try it

It's eaten at virtually every meal in a Tuscan diet. It's made without salt because it was believed for a long time that the bread kept fresh longer (though I can't imagine this is true).
Here's a picture... as you can see, it's kind of plain.

Is bromate a preservative used in bread?
Potassium bromate is added to enhance the rising characteristics of the dough. It is an oxygen source. What has not been harvested for its oxygen content by yeast, breaks down to potassium bromide upon (fully) baking the dough into bread. Most countries have banned its use, starting in the 1990's, because some organisms develop cancer when they consume potassium bromate. Its use here has largely been replaced with ascorbic acid (and other selections). Potassium bromate is also used to "modify" barley malt used in brewing. Sodium bromate is used in permanent wave solution.
What would you not get enough of if you only ate foods from the bread and cereal?
You may get some iron deficiency (depending on how well your cereal is fortified). You may lack some vitamin C (no fresh fruit/veg, and minimal amounts of vitamin C used as a bread improver. You would not be lacking enough vitamin C to get scurvy, but you would still be deficient). You will be lacking in essential fatty acids, and possibly calcium (if you're not having the cereal with milk). You would also be lacking in protein (especially if the cereal does not contain a lot of nuts/seeds). It would not be a healthy diet, but you could survive on it, especially if you ate the right breads/cereals.
