Toast was Jenny Everywhere's favourite food, consistent across all of her incarnations. (COMIC: The Late Shift)
Jenny Everywhere's favourite food
Jenny Nowhere, making a point about how individual incarnations of Jenny Everywhere did not possess true free will, once mocked the fact that her nemesis's love of toast was so great that “Jennies from worlds that haven’t invented agriculture yet shift[ed] across dimensions just to pick up a snack”. (PROSE: Parallax)
One account suggested that Jenny's love of toast — specifically, when it was “crunchy and warm, soft in the middle with butter and sweet from the whipped honey” — was a holdover from her original childhood before she was splintered across the Multiverse and became “the Shifter”. She was six when she ate her first piece of toast, having breakfast with her sister and her mother, and she would associate the taste of toast with the memory of her mother ever after. (PROSE: Memories of Nowhere)
Jenny had strong opinions about toast; different incarnations favoured different kinds of bread, making it a common topic of conversation during multi-Shifter events. Most also considered it a personal offensive to use inappropriate condiments (such as mustard) in their presence. (PROSE: Paying It Forward)
