Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 This reminds me so much of the steamed crackers my Mom made for me when I was sick. A pile of saltines crushed into a bowl, a bit of salt and pepper, a few dabs of butter (it was the real thing) and some very warm milk. She covered the bowl with a plate and left it steam for about 10minutes. It was incredible. She did the same thing with big thick hard pretzels...Hammonds is the brand she used. Absolutely delicious!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Just for the fun of it Google either milk toast or Milquetoast and you will find some interesting history of this famous 19th and 20 th. centruy recipe. It seems that it is also popular in Asian countries. I believe some recipes called for it to be made with condensed milk but in rural communities fresh milk was used.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 http://www.ibiblio.org/chineseculture/contents/food/p-food-c03s04.html toast with butter and condensed milk - in Hong Kong, we eat Milk Toast with any cold or hot milk tea or coffee, 2 pieces of thick white toast, spread with condensed milk and butter then cut them in half. The above link is a general introduction for Asian Milk Toast. This is still an all time classic popular tea time call for any Asian around 3:15-3:30pm in any old Asian fashion Cafe.

I was talking to a friend, this morning, about the lack of refrigerated air, those filmy nylon see through shirts that made you hotter, and the bands of sweat that showed up on our seersucker suits; just an old man, talking about the past, and hoping it's gone for good.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 The milk toast topic has been a memory booster! We ate it as kids...a thickened milk over a piece of toast with salt and pepper and a dab of butter... We also ate Shredded Wheat...only when we didn't feel well, my mom ran it under hot water first to soften it...truly a comfort food.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 What about Milquetoast (I believe he was a cockroach) from Bloom County? It was the awesome comic strip written by Berkley Breathed (Opus the penguin) who by the way is a vegan.
