Good golly.

First it was Miracle Whip Hell.

Now it seems like I'm dangling dangerously close to Breakfast Hell as well.

Is there ANYTHING having to do with food or meals that DOESN'T have a specially designated place in hell, or am I just out of luck?! :oops:o_O:cry:
Just stay away from the hell foods and you're good. 😜

In Australia it's Vegemite. In New Zealand it's Marmite. NEVER NEVER EVER EVER EVER confuse the two or you will be banished to breakfast hell forever. They both taste like tar, btw.
I can personally confirm that they have vegemite in New Zealand. I can also personally confirm that it tastes weird and should be avoided.

As for toast, I like it somewhere between correct and furious. If toast is being eaten as a side or snack, butter is enough of a topping. If it's supposed to keep you going for a while then put peanut butter on it, split a banana in half and roll the banana in the toast like a hot dog.

But this song is all you really need to know about toast mania

Delicately done please and thank you, and then perfect it with some butter, cinnamon, and sugar.

I was also looking for an image with cinnamon and sugar applied as delicately as the bread was toasted, and I had to settle for this image as the best available :confused:
but, rather, it should resemble a lightly 'sparkling' delicately done toast. :love:

Good to see a fellow CC'er who likes things only "lightly toasted" as well. :LOL:



I have heard of the legendary Vegemite, but have never had the chance to try it...

Once upon a time, Australia and New Zealand were at the top of my travel bucket list. But now due to motion sickness, claustrophobia, and the insane expense and hassle of traveling, I don't know if I'll ever get there -- but one of these days I'm going to have to track down this mystical condiment...

I know I could order some from Amazon, but I wish I could buy it in a shop that pretends to be at least halfway authentic -- like when I purchased what was supposed to be authentic British tea from a tea house in the USA ran by two British women. :)
If and when you get it, make sure you spread it thinly. Americans don't know how to do this. They lay it down with a trowel. An American comedian said that Vegemite looks and tastes like axle grease. I want to know how he knows what axle grease tastes like.......

If I have to eat dry toast, at least I put a glob of Grandma's fresh butter on it, and top it with chunk of her mayhaw jelly, or my cherry bourbon (no alcohol) jelly.

If I'm just snacking on toast, which is acceptable anytime of day, I like it at about finally, with butter on it (not margarine). If I'm preparing buttered toast to dip in my very runny eggs, I guess I like it somewhere between warm bread and finally. That way it has some flex and that makes it easier to scoop up a good bit of egg with it. My preference in most cases is sourdough bread. I use toast for BLT sandwiches and like those at finally too.
I've always wanted to try fresh butter, but alas, have never had the opportunity.

I went through the "low fat" craze of the 90's, so I don't think I ever tasted real butter unless at a restaurant or until I finally got out on my own.

The media had brainwashed people (around me, at least) into somehow thinking margarine was healthier (just like all those Snackwell's cookies that used twice the sugar instead of fat,) and so butter was considered a forbidden (fat-inducing) luxury.

As @NightTwister, would say, I'm guessing there must be a special place in Food Hell for margarine...

Well... There is a place for margarine. It's not as good as real butter - it's just vegetable oil - but it doesn't make my sinuses act up and keep me awake all night if I eat it at 7pm.

I have. Tastes like axle grease.
How exactly does one come to know what axel grease tastes like? Did you run out of everything else that might go on your toast and say to yourself...well, let me try some axel grease on this toast. It can't be any worse than Vegemite...

Lol!

Well I guess when you're out of everything else and desperate to put SOMETHING on your toast... :ROFL:

Actually, @NightTwister explained in this post:

I do. I worked as a mechanic for a few years.

Again, I worked as a mechanic for awhile. Grease on your hands was always a struggle.

If you spread it as if it was axle grease, it will be hard for some people to take. I can eat teaspoonfuls at a time.
It was spread incredibly thin. A NZ'er did it for me. Still tastes like axle grease. It's just something you have to grow up with to gain that acquired taste. I certainly never will at my age.

Actually, @NightTwister explained in this post:
Coming full circle, I prefer my bread in the liquid form (beer). I don't really have to worry about "what to put on it."
