I like vegemite (having been raised on it). I also like Peanut paste, I like
various jams too, but peanut and
jam together is a needle pinner on the yuckometer.
Really? Wow, I really like them together, so do most people
(Americans, that is) I know. But then, I was raised on it.
Kids don't go thru this, some parents put it on
kids dummies when they are
younger. By the time they are 2 or 3 they have it on toast at least daily.
What would be the American English translation of "dummies" in this
context?
