They are good, what is cool about them is you can turn them into a pizza successfully, you can put butter and jam on them, I have put peanut butter and jam AND my Father used to make me a sausage sandwich with them. They come in whole wheat and white and low fat as well.

A German or Norwegian taco might be truly frightening.
Now the Norwegian one would NO DOUBT involve fish which could be disgusting, maybe the German would have sauer kraut on it, YUK !!

OH, I have another thing, I love this kind of bread called English Toasting Bread. I had it years ago in Texas but have been finding it here at Walmart. The quality of the bread is so different. Its more like a croissant maybe but in the shape of a regular loaf of bread. Its good no matter what you put on it as well, but its more flakey and pastry like. Makes a good peanut butter and jam sandwich AND a nice bacon sandwich also but you could do something like putting Nutella and Straweberries in it as well.

You're in Bromsgrove, right? They're exactly the same as the things that they sell in Tescos. If the American ones look slightly different in the picture then it's only because they're a little messy around the edges - in all other respects they're identical.

I think its funny in our foods how we label something like English Muffins, or French toast or French frys when they are entirely American.

Can you think of more examples?

Anyone from England or France can tell us what French toast is called in France or if you have it at all?
What is sold as French toast in the UK is called a "Biscotte" in France ( bread which has been dry crisped) .

French Toast in america is made with preferably stale bread - "french bread" is best - briefly soaked in a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, beaten eggs and milk/cream then fried up in butter until each side is nicely browned.

Serve with maple syrup and possibly powdered sugar and you have some very happy breakfasters. Sausage is very nice on the side.
