CycleChat Investigates - Toast

[slowmotion]

Have we got any of those fuss-pots who cut off the crust? Degenerates.

I basically see toast as merely a vehicle for conveying more butter into my fat face.

I knew someone who in addition to having "some toast with their butter" would apply extra butter to the inside edges after each bite.

Whole slices here * well browned and allowed to coolin the toaster before butter and 'toppings' are applied.

* the one exception is Christmas Day when I do my infamous 'brunch'. This is wholemeal bread well browned and allowed to cool in the toaster (a 4 slice model by DeLonghi) this is then buttered before being cut into 4 triangles which then have a good 'dob' of Philadelphia cheese and a piece of Smoked Salmon on top with either a Caper or 2, some Dill or Black Pepper. I can normally get a 2nd batch of 4 slices toasted whilst preparing the 1st batch then place them all (artistically arranged) on a big plate before presenting them to the 'locusts' in the front room who just seem to inhale the lot in seconds.

I do love my toast but I sense that the younger generation are not into it.

They are into cereals, fruits salads, muffins, croissants, yoghurt and even bacon and eggs with no toast. Those keen on artisan bread won't bother to toast. I am not sure if Toast will go past the next generation. Not sure if they can't wait or just too messy.

Hello you. I'm told squirty toast is soon to be available.

Great thread to start my introduction to this site!
Cut in half and dripping with warm butter. Shoved into my gob as fast as possible and then back for more 🐽
Preferably door stopping wedges of granary bread

Has to be decent Chorleywood sliced bread, toasted on a three-prong extending fork, over an open coal fire, nothing electrical can sear and brown the surface while leaving the interior soft. Then it’s a quick rub with butter and put the sardines on.

Did you go to boarding school?

How do you cut yours? It seems that the manner in which you prepare the nations favourite hot snack says a lot about you.

Commies, pipe smokers and cardigan wearers tend to cut theirs into 2 x Soviet style rectangles.

Freedom loving capitalists, NRA members and Smokey and the Bandit fans tend to cut theirs into 2 x traingles.

Eric Pickles, John Prescott, Mr Creosote etc eat their slice whole, probably in one bite.

So which do you favour, and why?

Why waste time cutting it?

 

[Reynard]

A whole slice, medium done, which, after toppings have been applied, I nibble all the way around the edge before eating the middle.

I think they are avoiding carbs and worried about becoming a heifer 🐮

Variation, butter when hot/warm so the unsalted butter melts, then once cool add extra unsalted butter, then apply genorous sprinkling of coarse salt. If you are adulterating toast with other products then it's best buttering it when old as the butter is counter-intuitively a decent bonding agent for a subsequent layer.

Toast for me has to be 'toasty bread',not medium sliced and definitely not that very thin stuff! I sometimes cut the crust off before toasting and i do cut toast into soldiers when i'm having a boiled egg or two.

 

[Reynard]

Ah, soldiers for boiled eggs. Preferably well buttered prior to dunking.

Plenty of olive oil spread for me. Butter gives me gut rot.
