    I see YouGov has already done the PIneapple Poll.
    So I did! Corrected.

        In the course of looking up something else I came across this from an NHS site
        Two thick slices of wholemeal toasted bread (6.6g of fibre) topped with one sliced banana (1.4g) and a small glass (150ml) of fruit juice...
        Soggy toast anyone?

          My life was revolutionised when I - authentically - placed pieces of bread (ugh!) at the bottom of my ribollita. Now I frequently put a couple of pieces at the bottom of the dish for some home-made soups. They would be incomplete without soggy bread!

          I thought I would share that (the information, I mean) with everyone.
          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            Thank you for sharing, it helps to remove the thought of orange juice soaked toast...

                  I must admit it was the soup-soaked sogginess rather than the orange juice sogginess that I was thinking of. I will report back if I hit on a revolutionary idea for orange juice soaked toast.

                  Aïgo boulido and Soupe au lait are good for the soggy bread treatment.

                    Yes, in a real sense, because stale bread is best, as it's easier to rub with garlic if the surface is slightly hard.
