In Oz we have a plain biscuit known as an Arrowroot - a biscuit that is a common childhood denominator for many of us. It's up there with watching the ABC when you got home from school and dinking on your pushie (translation: giving a friend a ride on the front fork of your bike).
They are also extremely boring. They have no real taste. They are the biscuit equiv of water. They are marginally less flavourful than McDonald's cookies.
Consequently they get enhanced a lot. Typically if featuring in your lunchbox they had a smear of butter and were wrapped in gladwrap like a poor man's condom ("seriously baby, it won't come off, I added a rubber band and everything").
Recently I discovered something. Peanut butter on an arrowroot is good. It's in fact delish. Sure, it's likely not good for me but in my current sensitive stomach life I can digest it readily and it doesn't get stuck like toast does.
Anyway, Arrowroots and peanut butter - worth a try.

Hmmm. Interesting. Still can't go past Arrowroots and vegemite. The mixture of sweet and salty is noice.
ReplyDeleteI've not had any for aaaages though.
I haven't had arrowroots since I was a kid... I know I used to have those 'wheatmeal' biscuits with butter before I stopped eating butter ~6 y.o., but not sure if I ever buttered an arrowroot... I think I liked them as is...
ReplyDeleteWeirdo...
ReplyDeletesays peanut butter man
ReplyDeleteIt's a fair cop.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to defend Arrowroots here. I really like very plain biscuits & plain cake. Madeira cake is totally yum.
ReplyDeleteMikey I wanted to ask you (and was going to a few posts ago, the red rooster post) why does your food get stuck and/or come back up? You've mentioned your stomach surgeries & IBS. Being relatively new 'round here I'm just curious I suppose. Will this food difficulty stuff improve for you?
Maybe I am a flavour whore but plain stuff doesn't do it for me. Prob explains why I don't drink enough water.
ReplyDeleteThe surgery? Corrective on my stomach. It just means I have to be careful with the sorts of food I can eat otherwise it won't make it easily down the chute.
Sometimes ... not so careful. There have been some unpleasant moments that's for sure.
