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.

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) Dropping by the retail store Suppa$hoppa in one universe to buy a shopping cart's worth of sliced bread, one Jenny then bumped into employee Jeff O'Donnell and had what he would subsequently describe as “the most intense debate ever… about bread” with him.

History

Artifector Spamblodgett of the Strange and Wonderful House had been “designing a new invention for the burning of toast” when he was disturbed by Lally coming out of the Alarum. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Lab: The Alarum Goes Off)

One universe's Jenny's love of toast, which she had every morning for breakfast, was shared by her father. (PROSE: The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere)

The accommodations at Rio P’Brytje did not offer toast as part of the room service, to Jenny Everywhere's dismay. This struck her as a greater strike against the place than the fact that it was mostly made up of bridges hanging precariously over pools of lava. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

When celebrating Jenny Everywhere's return to the Multiverse after her temporary, mysterious disappearance, her friends celebrated by proposing a literal “toast”, whereby they raised slices of toast rather than glasses of alcohol. These slices of bread had been toasted using a Heat Ray invented by Laura Drake as a present for Jenny. (PROSE: The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere)

The food arranged on her dinner table by Jenny Nowhere when she tried to set up a date between herself and Jenny Everywhere included toast and tea. (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral)

Thymon made toast for breakfast on the morning following his first night with Jenny at his house, using star whale butter. (PROSE: Family Business)
