Description:

After watching the forum thread of this same name, I decided that an official swap was in order!

It seems that there are all manner of scrummy things that we spread on our toast bread and crackers. So many things that we have never heard of or seen before from around the world - what a perfect opportunity to try something new :)It could be sweet or savoury, or even a bit of both!

This will be INTERNATIONAL!

For this swap you will send your partner at least ONE small size pot/tub/tube of a spread that is local to you/your country. I wont put a monetary value on this, but please make sure you send a package you would like to receive yourself.

Maybe a recipe that includes the ingredient you have sent would be nice?

If you have a preference to whether you receive a sweet or savoury spread, or have any allergies, please post in the discussion. (however, if you do have allergies etc, please be aware that it might be more difficult for your partner to send you the right thing - for instance, i do not have access to specialist shops where I live)

Also, if there are any restrictions regarding customs in your country, please make that quite clear too, or the package will be sent at your risk.

Minimum rating 4.8 and no nosends. No newbies this time Im afraid.

I have given a long lead time, to give everyone a chance to have their Summer holiday!

Any questions or queries, PM me :)

Please remember, "Swap as you would wish to be swapped by" I want everyone to enjoy this!

Are homemade jams/jellies acceptable?

hoppyloo 06/24/2008 #

I think probably not - not because they wouldnt be good, but because of customs etc. Id love to swap homemade chutneys, jams etc, but think they might get confiscated.

Aww I would love to participate, but I am new to the site :(

Here are my preferences:

  • no Marmite or Vegemite or chutneys (like my Great-grand mother used to say "oh I do like them, but they don't like me" ;)

  • no liquor-flavored spread,

  • all kinds of sweet spreads are ok, especially chocolate, nuts of any type... maple butter a huge favorite.

This is going to be fun ;)

Please no marmite or vegemite for me, or any fishy spreads!
