OK at least there is something we call the same LOL though it is called Gypsy toast as well and I do remember once that mum did sprinkle some cinnamon on it rather strange to me maybe she had read something about cinnamon toast in the States and she was experimenting. Cinnamon to me is associated with fruit cake, or sprinkled on top of rice pudding or included in various apple dishes.
I have apple (and pear) trees ripe and have been making apple sauce and apple butter (and pies and crisps and...) with the apples and cinnamon....makes my mouth water
Hi Snugs, must say I've never run into someone who didn't like cinnamon toast. Think the difference from what you may be used to is that we mix it with sugar, and therefore probably not as strong as what you're used to on top of the pudding and apple dishes. Maybe your mom used it full strength and if so that can be pretty bitter tasting
