        Best FOS yet discovered! I toasted the garlic bread, sprinkled with cheese, dropped into soup and stuck all back under the grill. Wonderful! Garlic has same antiviral properties as onions. So got to be good.

        Hi Kenny,
        Not as healthy , but is the margarine healthy ? i think butter is more natural then margarine which contains additives.
        Of course , toasting the cheesy garlic bread is the way to heaven if i can tell ;-)
        Have a nice lunch! ;-)

        Hi Lezzz - yes definately the butter would be better, but then perehaps not as healthy. I like the idea of the cheesy garlic bread - definately going to try that - what about gently toasting it? - Regards Kenny

        Hi Christophe - sounds like a good plan, also making it suitable for vegaterians. I'll give it a try - thanks.

        Can substitute Vegetable stock for Beef and tastes just as well. Also for a richer flavour used Butter instead of Marg.
