[Opinions] Re: Melba
in reply to a message by Bear
I've never even heard of Melba toast before. I had to look it up just to see what it was, and it doesn't seem to me like something a lot of people would know about, though apparently they do?I think Melba is pretty. I know what you mean about names ending in -ba, the only other one I can think of is Rosalba.This is a completely new name for me, so I'm not sure how good these combos are going to be-Melba Ambrosine

Are you in Europe? Maybe Melba Toast is a N. American thing. People in N. Am. would tend to know about it, but the mindset of some of your posts makes me think you're likely from elsewhere... which would explain why you've never heard of Melba Toast before now.

No, I'm born and raised in the US. Though, moving to Europe (Slovakia please!) is my life-long dream. Hopefully within the next 10 years! I have no idea why I've never heard of Melba Toast.
