PlunkettPrime reports spotting this unusual food truck this afternoon on Academy Hill Road in Brighton Center. Perhaps the owner has a rye sense of humor.
We'll need a additional ingredients - a few onions, some butter, various herbs, salt & pepper, etc...
Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Uncover; let cool. Cover; chill.
Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).
Then, you stuff it most of it into the turkey, although I generally leave some on the side for vegetarians.
I don't know if it's after Passover, but usually during Passover Orthodox Jews would either burn leavened items or give them away to Gentiles during Passover. This could be why all of these rolls and breads are in that truck.
Unlikely. The selling of chametz is, for the most part, a legal fiction. One boxes up/dedicates a cabinet to etc. all their chametz and seals it off. They then sign a contract with their rabbi or other "broker" for the congregation who "sells" the contents of said cabinet, box etc. to a gentile. Theoretically, this gentile could come over to your house to check on his or her chametz but of course, they don't.
Now, in order to minimize the amount of chametz in your house before the holiday, you could give it to someone for keeps (e.g. starving graduate students, homeless shelter) but I doubt anyone is riding around in a bread truck.
As for burning the chametz, there is a ritual done the morning of Passover in which a few pieces of bread are burned in a pan. It is symbolic; no one is out there lighting up vast bonfires of rye.
I've always found Judaica interesting, so I made the connection between the loaves and Passover that way. (And yes, burning large quanities of bread would get attention...if not from the fire department, at least some students looking to make large quantities of french toast.)
When I worked at a farm supply store in high school I used to always see pig farmers with truck beds full of old bread they bought for cheap to feed to their pigs. My guess is that's what's going on here.
When I was a McDonald's manager eons ago (like in the 1990s), we used to save all our old food from the queue bins (that bin that used to have premade food ready before McD moved to 'made to order') and put it into bins for the pig farmers.
They loved it. The only thing we weren't allowed to give them was the McRib.... (but the employees used to take those before they ended up in the 'pig bin')

We all have a roll to play....
We demand tribute!
A tribute is a great idea.
First we have to prepare it though.

Possible post-Passover chametz?

Passover ended Saturday evening at sunset
(unless you're Reform, in which case it ended Friday evening at sunset)
That would have been a good
That would have been a good food truck to park in parts of Brighton or Brookline on Saturday night.

Probably pig food
When I worked at a farm supply store in high school I used to always see pig farmers with truck beds full of old bread they bought for cheap to feed to their pigs. My guess is that's what's going on here.
Given the condition of the truck
which looks like an old El Camino to me, I second your theory.
McDonald's

Hahahahaha

Where do you think your bread comes from?
