Very nice hot from the machine, spread with creamed honey, but surprisingly good the next day cold with vegemite!

Not sure what surprises me more - that it is good with Vegemite, or that you actually tried it with Vegemite.
Orange + poppyseed = win
The picture in the cookbook had a chicken and salad sandwich on it, so I figured it was ok for savoury. Plus, the night before, fresh from the oven, it wasn't very sweet or orangy. Either the flavours developed overnight, or the salty vegemite brought them out.
I'm not afraid to do the salty/sweet thing though. I use to dip my fries into my 30c Cone at McDonalds... ah, remember the days when they were only 30c?
I've never seen orange and poppy seed bread before, only cake or muffins! I guess they would be pretty similar though!
I guess. It didn't have a very pronounced orange flavour though, so it was more like a regular poppyseed bread, with a subtle hint of orange in the background.
I wonder what it would be like toasted?
Oh Jo, I wish I'd thought of that while there was leftovers still!
Mind you, there was only two slices left the next day, and they didn't make a second night without getting eaten! We ate almost the whole loaf hot with melty butter fresh from the bread machine.
