A soldier, in
British English, is a thin strip of bread or toast; the soldiers that a slice
is cut into are reminiscent of soldiers on parade. The toast is sliced in this
manner so that it can be dipped into a soft boiled egg that has had the top of
its shell removed. A lot of people also take pleasure in "vegemite
soldiers" in Australia or "marmite soldiers" in the UK which go
after the same principle and are spread with Vegemite or Marmite correspondingly.
In 2005 The
Daily Telegraph accounted the creation of a device for cutting bread into
soldiers. Shaped cutters to produce soldiers shaped like human soldiers are
also obtainable.
