So according to my distant ancestors, having buttered toast for breakfast is basically a sign that their lineage won at life or something.

Sorry but I actually feel very passionate about my morning toast. I like that it's chilly outside but my slices of bread are being warmed up. I like how the butter starts to melt on warm toast. I love the texture and flavor combination when you eat it. I enjoy it so much that I don't even want coffee with it anymore. It's SO GOOD.

I literally made SIX SLICES OF TOAST this morning just for myself, and I don't know what's gotten into me?

Does anyone else get like this sometimes?

Have all the toast lovers on this thread read the Mercy Watson (children’s) books by Kate DiCamillo?
They are amazing books- and Mercy is the spirit animal of all toast lovers (I include myself).

Where do you get your sourdough? And is it sour?


Local bakery (I don’t live in DC) and it is sour. I love it.

We started baking our own bread twice a week at the beginning of the month. It has completely smitten me with toast. Whether it’s butter, butter and jam, butter and honey, or cheese. It’s just so good.

OP, I'm not familiar with that story about George Washington, but you might like a wonderful (fairly) recent biography of Washington by Alexis Coe, You Never Forget Your First. It's a modern spin and quite unlike most presidential biographies.

How did this never cross my mind? This is one of the most genius - obvious but I didn't think of it things I've seen in a long time.

My whole life, how many thousands of toast sides did I waste?

My husband's grilled cheese sandwiches are so good for this reason--he butters both sides of the bread!

Rye toast. Kerrygold butter or Normandy butter. Bonnie Maman jam.

I love toast with butter! When I was a kid I loved staying in hotels because they used to serve perfectly toasted buttered white bread.

Of course I also adore white rice with ghee.

Simple carbs are my simple pleasure.

Irish butter on toasted brioche. My kid home from college had that for nearly 2 weeks.

I'm bringing some to the weekend toast meet-up, then. I plan to arrive early enough to smell the grinding of coffee beans, but I'll pop the juice in the fridge so we have have icy cold, sweet juice with our hot, buttery salty sour toast

You are my favorite person!

I will splurge and bring along butter so thick, so creamy, and so flavorful that it might as well be cheese.

ya'll I love me some white bread. It's fluffy and airy, true. It's full of sugar, true. It disintegrates, true. But there's a reason why in medieval times (I think...don't quote me) they basically considered white bread to be the equivalent of cake. Because it's SO processed and sweet...but that's what makes it delicious!

It's an old fashioned toast indeed. White bread and butter. Classic.
