omigod - visions of Chevy Chase and Vacation! 😛 Or is anyone old enough to remember when Mom tried to send warm turkey or meatloaf sandwiches wrapped in wax paper? By the time you got your lunch (usually after some nauseating class like Biology or Health) and everything was melded into one giant glob of goo? Hurling at the thought…(Whiney Valley Girl Voice) eeeuuwwwwwww! ---

There is one thing worse than soggy bread, my friends, and that is sweaty bread. Imagine you are at an Anglican communion. (Gimme a break, the ex and I had to go there to get married in that church.) The vicar is tearing chunks of bread off a loaf and handing them to parishioners for the service. You are almost last in the queue to reach communion. Just as you get there and kneel down, you notice that the vicar’s palms are sweaty. And as you put the bread he hands you into your mouth, you notice that it’s moist. ---

So long as it’s sweat, I wouldn’t worry. Were the altar boys smiling? ---

My boyfriend likes this…thing…he calls milk toast. It’s just what it sounds like, toast soaking in milk (with cinnamon) until it’s all soggy and icky. He eats it when he’s sick. I guess it’s better than just plain bread soaked in milk, but still. Ew. I call him a milquetoast for it, but he doesn’t seem to find that as funny as I do. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Francesca \* > \*\*How anyone can eat bread and butter pudding is beyond me. \*\* I like it, but when properly made, bread and butter pudding is **not** soggy. _Summer_ pudding on the other hand is like eating a wet towel. ---

I have no idea where the name comes from, and I’m almost afraid to ask. I’d be afraid to ask, too. There have been times that I’ve felt that I had to get better to die - sounds like your wife’s recipe would be the means to achieve that end. Again, (WVGV) eeeuuuwwwww! ---

Soggy bread is vile. When I was a little 'un, I took a packed lunch to school. In the lunchbox would be sandwiches, a yoghurt, a chocolate biscuit, a piece of fruit and a little bottle of lemon squash. Sometimes, when the Devil felt like tormenting me, he would climb up from Hell and loosen the cap of the bottle ever so ever so slightly, just enough to allow a minute amount of squash to leak out, breach the wrapping of the sandwiches and render a corner of the bread COLD, SOGGY AND LEMON-SQUASH-TAINTED. ---

Until I was about 12, my mom would occasionally pack an me omelette sandwich for lunch. Now, fresh out of the pan and onto the bread, it’s not bad. But after a couple of hours in cling-wrap - uughhh!! soggy bread, cold omelette - NOT very appetising.
