CycleChat Investigates - Toast

[Drago]

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?

Whole slice for me. And none of this namby pamby only slightly brown colour toast. It's not toast unless there are severe carbon deposits and the kitchen is full of smoke.

 

[Oldhippy]

Whole slice, no butter, marmite or cream cheese.

PS I look like neither Pickles, Prescott nor Creosote. Any suggestion that I do and I'll send my second round and demand satisfaction at dawn. Swords or pistols?

And accompanied by a good smothering of Marmite Don’t forget the Marmite

 

[DCLane]

Missed an option; whole slice, snapped along whatever curves and creases it may naturally have.

 

[Drago]

I would agree that Marmite transcends the political divide.









NB, other brand socialist-acceptable spreads are available.

I have a certain way of making toast for me. Toaster on high, enough to make the bread go almost burnt but not charcoal. Allow it to cool in the toaster (important, it has to cool down slowly). Then return to it to make another cup of tea then apply butter and marmalade. This makes for toast that is brittle, AND IT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT SO THERE!!!!!111ONEONEONE

Correct answer. 😊

 

[flake99please]

The whole slice. Cut toast is like ketchup... For kids.

Agreed.
Whole slice folded wherever the natural line is.

 

[mistyoptic]

Whole slice. Butter and home made marmalade or, if the mood takes me, butter and Bovril. None of your disgusting, vegetarian, Marmite in this house.

agree, toast needs to be starting to scorch. No warm, anemic, bread. Bread should be, at least, from a bread maker. No shop bought in this house

[Low Gear Guy]

Why would I want to cut it before eating it? You have reminded me that the bread maker should have a whole loaf waiting for me when I get home

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.
