• jam on toast? preposterous. in cincinnati, where toast was invented by Coriolanus Toast III, it is customary to have navy beans, hubbard squash, and chili oil on toast. in fact, if you go to the community theater and get jam on your toast, the MC will squirt you with lemon juice and paddle your bottom with a bible.

      Jam is a dessert food. It doesn’t belong as a central part of a meal.

      Yet Americans will eat it with sweetened peanut butter and sweetened bread and call the resulting creation, whether in its squishiness or its sogginess, a full meal.
