And what the hell were they talking about anyway?

Heuraspedd

Crack three eggs into a bowl, add a dash of milk, and a shake or two of cinnamon. Preheat a pan and stick a slice of whole wheat (very important that it is whole wheat) bread into the bowl. Press it down so it soaks up a lot of egg, and flip. Repeat on the other side. Slide this gooey mass into the pan and soak two more slices. Okay… it’s pretty much French toast, but really gooey, and with cinnamon. That’s not where it ends. Once all three pieces are in the pan you pour the left over egg on top. Nothing is wasted. Nothing.
When toasty on both sides, but deliciously soft in the middle, it is finished cooking. Here comes the beauty! Spread peanut butter over the top (as thick as you like but actually I keep it pretty moderate on Heuraspedd) and top that with strawberry jam (you could use a different kind I suppose, but since I’ve invented this I declare that it is not proper without strawberry jam; you would have to say it was Heuraspedd with a different kind of jam).
The H is silent, and the name is credited to my sister, Faye. But the double D was mine. All me.


Also, Heuraspeddedd is the same only with white bread because only losers eat white bread. LOSERS!

    Heuraspedd is pretty much my favourite food. With the occasional Chookie to add that dash of chocolate to the over all flavour you cannot go wrong. It fills you up for so long, and the taste cannot be beat. It’s soft, and sweet, and peanut buttery. I can’t even describe it. Along side Spud Spread it is King of foods. King-of-all-foods.

    Was it really necessary to make the explanation so complicated?
    For anybody that was confused, here is a summary of the recipie:

    1. Make French Toast
    2. Pour leftover egg on top when half cooked.
    3. Make a PB & J sandwich with French Toast.

    I was caught up in the passion of the moment. It's hard not to get worked up about Heuraspedd, especially after you've eaten it. I like your explination, but really, this is something you pass down to each generation. One day there's going to be a blustery Christmas morning when only you and your youngest grandchild will be awake and that my friend is the day you will teach her the ways of Heraspedd. Or him. Yes sir indeed.
    Besides that, it's not a sandwich. It's just a gooey, delicious, mass.
