Only the sugar was replaced either saccharine or cyclamates. We thought of it as a sweet roll/danish substitute.

Wed Apr 22 16:35:12 -0700 2009 1861637 124045 huaqiao 1 4619750 I was going to say that I couldn't possibly choose, but then I remembered. La Brea Bakery (only available from the actual bakery, not the lousy par baked stuff) Fruit & Nut Loaf, toasted, with a healthy bit of Humboldt Fog on top, with the merest drizzle of honey. But toast is pretty much my favorite food, so it's all good. Pumpkin seed bread with avocado and salt is a nice one. Good, crusty white bread with a smear of chevre and a slice of perfectly ripe tomato. But at the end of the day, I'm perfectly content with PB&J on whole wheat. Wed Apr 22 16:49:53 -0700 2009 1861637 17827 cyberroo 1 4619775 I apologize for this random tangent, but I was scanning the boards and as I glanced over it I though the title of this post was "what is your favorite way to spread contamination?" in which case I would say, kissing. But to answer the question at hand I will say everything bagel, cream cheese and tomato. Although in the spirit of the season I love matzah with cream cheese and tomato as well, but I guess that doesn't count as toast. Wed Apr 22 16:58:09 -0700 2009 1861637 220674 Cebca 1 4627301 I answered this post ages ago, but now I have a different answer because I'm in a different mood. 1. crumpets (for Americans, they're slightly like English muffins but much hole-ier) toasted with butter and marmite. 2. rye toast with chicken liver pate.

Sat Apr 25 06:10:09 -0700 2009 1861637 24468 chicgail 1 4628352 omg i know I answered this or one similar as well. I am sure I've a new favorite, but such a hard decision. Something about toast with a great topping that is so good and heart warming. But to pick today, I would say a bagel, not over toasted, still soft in the middle but golden. Smeared with cream cheese, and tomato - salt and pepper as needed. Sweet - would be Russian rye with apricot jam Sat Apr 25 15:06:27 -0700 2009 1861637 50431 chef chicklet 1 4628499 Multi-grain seeded bread, slightly toasted spread with nutella or chunky peanut butter.
