True...But if i use them i drain them first otherwise the toast goes soggy...NO ONE likes soggy toast .
(this is just my assumption, no offence meant to soggy toast eaters, & no intended potential legal action will be taken seriously)

Solution: Put the topping on the side of the plate, using a knife and fork cut the toast bite size and scoop topping onto toast before popping into mouth.

It fun to grow them, and then easy to get several varieties. With local ones, those from the Royal Projects aren't too bad, sometimes.

 

And back to the OP - sun dried and as in pesto works too.

I imagine black olives, Italian tinned tomatoes, garlic and chili thrown in a blender might make a nice toast topping.

Sounds close to a bruschetta to me. Yum.

I have found at Villa on Suk 33 some very good jelly from France.

Excellent advise on ACV.....the non-pasteurized organic stuff is best.  Brands like Bragg etc.  But I would not take it every day, only during an attack.  As for those tablets, highly toxic and best avoided.

[anchadian]

If you looking for healthy spreads, either Marmite or Vegemite both available at TOPS or Ayum tinned mackerel or sardines available almost anywhere.

This post is about breakfast spreads, but I read no hard evidence that says it damaged the kidneys. If you want to talk about gout start a post in the Medical Section.

There's a mysterious, locally made (Best Foods?) 'sandwich spread' that's on most supermarket shelves. Buggered if I know what's in it but guaranteed to be sweet.

Actually its very good and not sweet

The first one IS Chicken and Ham, look to the left of the Best Foods printing. They are both sweet.

I thought tomatoes were a no-no if one has gout.

Thankfully, I've only had one gout attack. Could not bear the weight of a thin cotton sheet on my right toe. One course of Indocid, and I've never had it again. Fingers crossed.

I doubt that one course of a particular tablet will cure gout, also the tomato thing is a myth.

 

"There is a misconception amongst certain gout sufferers that tomatoes actually cause gout attacks. This is simply not true if you closely examine the ingredients. Tomatoes are 90% water and water is important for us gout sufferers. Next, tomatoes are a low purine food and all of my readers should know by now that foods that are high in purines can trigger a gout attack. What else? Tomatoes are low in sugar and carbs as well. Heck they’re even very low in calories. 100 grams only has 18 calories! Furthermore, 100 grams of tomatoes has 237mg of potassium! So where do people get the idea that tomatoes are bad for us"?

The spreads mentioned by the OP are all artificial, factory made sugar,fat and salt mixture. I like the three nuts organic butter, marmite, avacado etc. But in general nothing made in a factory aimed at children. Marmite is an exception and packed with vitamins but I drink it as the problem with spreads is that they involve bread and wheat products....another no no.

The spreads I bought were merely to try what is available in Thailand, I won't be buying them again, neither will I give up my Vegemite on toast, and in future will be trying my hand at making my own spreads, all to be enjoyed with bread converted to toast..

Opinion is divided. Tomatoes are classed as a "possible trigger" due to their uric acid and glutamate content. I don't know how potassium affects the equation; however, foods rich in potassium should be avoided with certain medications. No, can't remember what they are.

All I can tell you is my experience with gout. Had it once only about 30 years ago, have never had it again. Diagnosed and prescribed for by a doctor.  If you choose not to believe me, that's not my problem.
