Toast Poll

Just received notice my FP count went up by one

my conscience is clear

The Guardian weighs in...

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/09/how-to-eat-toast

Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?

I don't know for sure but if Irish white bread is similar to what in Scotland is called 'plain bread' then DM's enthusiasm for it is entirely justified.

Just had some now, without butter, with parfait and salt and pepper

I'm enjoying this because now I'm the dark horse of the thread and I've never, ever been the dark horse of an ILX thread before

ugh, tony naylor, how, why

'broil' has the ring of a word invented when a small colony of ppl arrive ashore and they person they consult on matters linguistic if doubt arises is a chancer of the highest order

dmac's most important contribution to ilx

Cold toast? "So the butter doesn't melt"?? What's the point of any of that.

m&s high bran bread, avocado oil spread in place of butter: turns out not even a health kick can ruin toast

^this is an otm post btw and it's kinda amazing how much time passed before anyone commented on this absolute lunacy

bc its dmac taking the piss

its like pouring the milk then the cereal

i believe i countered it with my first post tbh

i am so having marmite and toast for supper

NB: the main reason supermarket white bread from a commercial bakery toasts up such an even golden brown is that it is formulated with a higher sugar content which helps increase its shelf life. Toasting, for example, a traditional baguette just cannot compete in that department. Different beasts.

used to love lightly toasted slices of baguette when I was a kid

But, despite tasting delicious, I'm pretty sure those baguette slices never achieved a perfectly even golden brown.

Oh yeah you're right

Fuckit having more toast

toasters seem like they are a lot shittier now

like the bread browns too fast & the insides just steam so the toast gets soft right away when you spread butter etc... but if you turn up the heat it burns

yeah, plus my toaster doesn't even fit a full slice of most loaves - i know the obvious solution but i'm not made of money

My insistence on cooling the toast so that the butter doesn't melt in is sincere and one of my only irl foibles

I make a triangle of the slices to cool them the quicker.

It's because uniformity of butter or any comestible lubricant is not just boring but an actual travesty. Getting more than the fair share of the heartstopping stuff in any given bite is like a second Sunday in the week.

Not to mention that to make the toast soggy by melting yr butter on the hot surface is a desperate choice. Be reassured that I find your decision to do so as wrongheaded as you seem to view my methods, but I forego the self-indulgent urge to label you pisstakers on the back of it. For shame.

staggering tbh

xp

does cold toast vs dmac using nuclear butter look like hiroshima post a-bomb

Cold toast is more like t-bomb tbrwu

I'm glad we finally talked more about this. For the past 2 years I've pondered the question of dmac's cold toast pretty much every time I've eaten toast.

My mum goes the cold toast route. It's inhumane, in my opinion.

This is the hill of beans I'll die on, no bother

does it get toasty up there

i don't eat cold toast but i generally let it sit for about 30 seconds in the toaster so it's not quite piping hot either - also if you transfer directly to a flat surface it gets soggy (which i guess everyone knows hence the existence of toast racks)

I thought 'It's hardly worth a poll' immediately followed by a realisation that I Love Toast a lot more than I Love Music and they'll poll any ole shite without a care.

this was the real motivation ftp

Is "grilled bread" simply toast?

I dread to imagine what else it could be
