Dwarf Bread Roulette
Toppings clockwise from 1 o'clock: cream cheese, barbeque sauce, peanut butter, Vegemite, sundried tomato pesto, mint sauce, lemon curd, redcurrant jelly - and kiwifruit in the centre as the coup de gras...
Okay - my extended family in New Zealand are (like certain of my immediate family back in Britain) big fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. One legendary invention therein is the dwarfs' notoriously inedible Dwarf Bread, inadvertently recreated and christened by my second cousin Amy's chef boyfriend Paul. I first tried ameliorating a slice with honey, then as there was a lot of this dense, hard savoury loaf to go round I decided to experiment with a whole gamut of semi-appropriate toppings to see which went the best and worst with the stuff - and ate them all consecutively, marking them as I went! I knew about it afterwards, I'll say... For the record, I believe the pesto won and the peanut butter came last!
