I'd love the refrigerator rolls or bread recipe, if it's not too much trouble or a cookie recipe. Whatever you think looks kind of interesting. Some of those oldies are really good. Thanks!

Chery, any pastas?? Other than spaghetti though, think pasta dishes aside from that and macaroni salad are a rather recent innovation, don't you??

Here's an ancient recipe which tastes better than it sounds:

Candied Bread
30g butter
1 tablespoon oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 slices bread, crusts removed

Melt butter with oil in a frying pan, add sugar and lemon juice and cook until mixture begins to caramelise and turns a light brown. Add the bread, cut into halves, quarters or fingers. Turn after half a minute, baste and after a minute or so take from the pan and serve on a heated, sugared plate.

I'm interested in the Cakes, and Baked Desserts, and Pies.

Daisy, that looks delicious! Have you served it as a breakfast roll or dessert? Will keep trying to post a legible copy.

It's a dessert, or a naughty midnight snack.

Here in Australia, breakfast is always savoury, never sweet (unless you visit Macca's or are staying at a place where they cater for American tourists!). Most people are content with a bowl of cereal, and some toast, maybe bacon and eggs on toast at weekends, or something similar. I always thought I had a sweet tooth, but I'm constantly astonished at some of the breakfasts people in here manage - all that sugar to start the day!! I'd never heard of sweet French Toast until I visited these forums - I've only had it with bacon, tomato and cheese etc. It's a lazy-day meal or a special-day breakfast.

Another sweeping generalization, Daisy. Most people I know eat cereal, fruit, eggs, toast or a variation thereof for breakfast with coffee or tea or even less than that. A lot of the baked goods & French toast are weekend treats or for special occasions.

I agree, Ginger. Sweets for breakfast like coffee cake, pancakes with syrup or fruit, french toast, etc. are far and few between for anyone I know. In fact, most people don't even have a "substantial" breakfast like bacon and eggs, or another breakfast meat.

Breakfast in my part of the country is usually English Muffins with peanut butter, toast and yogurt, maybe some fresh fruit, cold cereal, bagels or oatmeal. Not all of these things, just one or maybe two. Occasionally I'll make muffins for breakfast but those are usually reserved for snacks or a dessert.

Actually, I like to have sweet breakfast things for dinner from time to time. If I fix something sweet in the morning, I will be eating all day long. So, I like protein as the mainstay of my breakfast.

I apologise if I've offended anybody, but it's difficult to escape generalisations when you see so many recipes for things like sweet muffins and pancakes intended for breakfast eating.

A few people I know have visited America, and they come back with some amazing stories about the food over there. It does make me wonder at times, whether these Aussie visitors have had their IMPRESSIONS of America's food preferences catered for!

I mean, if Americans think that Aussies eat kangaroo all the time, then is that the reason certain places actually serve kangaroo to American visitors? I don't know any Aussies who actually eat the stuff! Not humans, anyway - quite a few dogs have to eat it, and not many of them like it either!!

I don't know, I have seen an awful lot of recipes for breakfast casseroles and frittatas and such but I suspect that people do tend to post recipes that they make occasionally that are special. We have breakfast/brunch here every Sunday but I wouldn't think of posting our sausage, eggs, grits, toast menu. But then I have never thought that Australians eat kangaroo either........guess that comes from liking to read so I know better.

Who said anyone was offended? I've never thought Australians ate kangaroo but then I'm not anxious to jump to conclusions about how people in other countries live.
