Excellent analogy. I find the Promite somewhat more bland and meaty,
perhaps, than Vegemite which has a more tangy quality to it. Given
all that I like both better than Marmite, although there is an Australian
production of Marmite that I have never tasted, perhaps it grows
better down under. And of course there are many who will like the
Promite better.

You are cruel. <g>
I've not had cinnamon toast in at least a couple of years!

And if you are going to do hot cocoa, better add heavy cream and a shot
of brandy or rum!

Then make cinnamon french toast...

Or at least sourdough english muffins drowned in butter and cinnamon
sugar.

Unless you're referring to me in the above, then you've actually met two - I
love both Marmite and Vegemite, although unlike those raised on them, I
can't tell the difference between the two.

Then there are two! The person I was referring to was Canadian.

Yay you!

BTW, it really doesn't need to be kept in the fridge -- it could survive

I'm coming when I can afford it, and I'll definitely be coming to the

Lettuce wraps!

This pic is ham slices wrapped in Boston Butter lettuce with some
scrambled eggs and lentil sprouts that I made a couple of weeks ago:

Oh wait! I saw some LC rye... either pitas or wraps. I hope I

I really hope I can find the rye whatevers. They looked so
useful. One could make something like a Reuben!

My friend, R, in Dunedin once sent me 2 large cans (like, .5kg EACH!) of
Chelsea syrup. Must have cost him an arm, leg and yet another precious body
part! That was, probably, 7 years ago. I used to make ANZAC bikkies for
our campus antipodeans but, now that I am Chelsea syrup-less, no more
bikkies :-( Lyle's just doesn't do the trick.

Nick Cramer swears by dark Rye bread and he has and uses a glucose

Oh, you sweet thing!

I've honestly no idea.
I'm just currently avoiding bread completely, but it's more for the
weight loss issue. I'm avoiding starch and sugar.

I love all sorts of toppings on toast! My top three toppings a

1. Cream cheese and strawberry jam (mm, i know what im having tomorrow morning!)
2. Butter and sugar. My mom and grandmother would make this for me as a kid.
3. Peanut butter - the crunchy kind.
