Atleast the toast is on mute.
ummthatguyAccents like that and the shit cropping are becoming the sort of artifacts that authenticate a human touch. Like using dogs to weed out Terminators.
Until T2000 comes melting and oozing outta the side of your flat screen. Then we’ll all be muted toast.
Imperfection is often the defining feature of art.
SynapseI learned the other day that British have a delicacy called the toast sandwich which consists of a slice of toasted white bread between two slices of untoasted white bread with optional butter in between.
It is true and this is a real thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_sandwich?wprov=sfla1
Cost one side of the middle slice in butter, the other side in honey.
Now youre there.
An 1861 recipe says to add salt and pepper to taste.
Woah, slow down there Guy Fieri.
That actually sounds kind’a dynamite.
Delicacy is maybe not the word I’d use, but it certainly exists
More of a wartime rationing delicacy.
As a Brit I’ve never heard of such a thing. Sounds awful like putting a pie on a muffin (bread roll, barm cake) 🤮
I’ve not heard of anyone else making such a thing, but not surprised it does exist. However, I can 1-up that with my childhood creation - the triple fold sandwich. One slice of buttered bread, one slice of buttered toast & one slice of butter fried bread. Fold each one in half, overlapping half of the adjacent piece. You get a mix of three different bready textures & flavours in each bite. I haven’t made it in a few decades so I may not enjoy it so much now, but it was good at the time!

SeeMarkFlyI like toast but I don’t like MAKING toast.
I would like to buy a loaf of toast. Then I could just warm it up in the microwave.
I have good news!
Industrially dried, flour product. It is less like toast and more like big cracker.
endlessedenThere is toasters that toast in seconds, toasters that rehydrate while toasting to keep the bread perfect and toasters that let you midway pile on the toppings and make a filling toasted sandwhich.
None of this can be done in a microwave XD
You know the best part about this, you can put so much on toast. SOOOO much. Butter, syrups, jams, nut butters, or even just go plain and dunk it in something tasty (Hot Tomato soup in a mug, to dunk your lightly buttered toast is amazing).
you know the best part above all else, you can toast nearly anywhere in 2026. There is USB powered toasters, as DC buck-converters easily take USB-PD and warm up some coils!
Is toast technically biscotti then?
BjörnI’ll bet it was the french. Those motherfuckers LOVE maillard.
We should all love Maillard and the wonderful culinary reaction he invented! Can you imagine trying to enjoy food before we created caramelization? That had to be just awful.
Has anyone tried cooking it again? Projections show an incredible increase in flavor!

That was only an option if we were terribly ill.
Yeah it does look a bit thin
It’s remarkable how England and English colonies have a whole variety of thick slabs of batter that they consider ’food’.
try making a loaf of bread with like 6-12 tbsp of chestnut honey, specifically chestnut. Eat some fresh but let it cool and toast it after. It goes with everything and it smells amazing. I eat it with ice cream for an unparalleled ice cream sandwich that make those store bought bricks look and taste like dirt in comparison.
It’s crazy because chestnut honey smells and tastes kinda not food like IMO. Like a mouthful of worn pantyhose that has done an office shift and then inhale through the nose. Not saying I’ve done that but that’s just the image I have in my head from trying chestnut honey on its own.

Even without comparing them to anything, it’s an accurate description.
Get a load of this guy who has beehives in entire groves of chestnut trees.
I wish, except kinda not really because chestnuts are gross. Back when I worked in a grocery store chestnuts were a decidedly rare item to see people buying too.
MintyFreshI thought chestnuts were like almost extinct?
I freaked out and looked it up and it seems like its only american chestnut that is critically endangered and european chestnut, which is most likely the one the honey I have tried was made from, is least concern.
This is probably why I never heard of chestnut honey before going to europe and why even if you can find some here it’s imported.
I like to buy Chewy Chips Ahoy!™ and then finish cooking them.
You’re gonna lose your mind when you find out about the original Chips Ahoy!™ in the blue package.
In Germany we call bland white bread “toast bread” because it can only taste good when toasted.
samus12345Yeah, what we call “bread” in the US is “toast bread” in Germany. I’ve heard stories of Germans going to US supermarkets and wondering where the real crusty bread is.
I’ve heard stories of Germans going to US supermarkets and wondering where the real crusty bread is.
Most US grocery stores I’ve been to have that too. Usually an entire bakery section filled with freshly baked bread.
The bigger ones do, yeah, but EVERY place doesn’t like in Germany.
