Toast sandwich
I have always contended that bread is just raw toast.
Toast is life.
A brilliant confluence of skill and purpose!
Now french it
What's even better, spread mayo on both sides and fry it on a flat top.
I don't even like mayo but this is the correct way to make a grilled cheese. The mayo is just oil and makes the bread really nice and light and crispy.
And yet, why I dint exactly know, miracle whip doesn't work nearly as well
Watch the shock on OP's face when they learn of bis-cuit.
Do you mean crunchy cookies, or savory butter scones?
EITHER ONE!
You bake bread and you toast .. toast.
Rebaked bread.
Sourdough is good. Toasted sourdough is bread's best life.
I love sourdough because it doesn't even need butter!
Maillard, there is a special place in paradise for you.
Maillard Place would be a funny name for a mansion.
John Toast invented toast in 1439 when he tried to cook bread twice.
I don't enough about the ways of toast to dispute this. But I kind of love that there was a guy named John Toast that went around cooking shit twice until something stuck.
I was making toast once at work.
A particularly baffling coworker saw this and went "oh you like toast do you? I had an uncle who liked toast"
I'm not sure if he just didn't like to leave good silence alone, or if he had a bizarre family where nobody else liked toast except for Mad Uncle Toast Eater, who presumably died from his crippling toast addiction.
Elder Scrolls NPC type conversation.
fucking incredible sentence though. what a legend.
I hope you didn't respond to him, to make him uncomfortable with the silence again.
Maybe that silence is his Toast though. The more you have, the more you want.
I mean, you can make toast the first time you cook it, if you do it at the wrong temperature and for too long. Also, it definitely won't be toasted evenly.
Still you'd end up with enough toast that you could try it out and see if you liked it, before anyone had invented it. Since this happens by accident all the time, it's reasonable to assume we've known about toast exactly as long as we've known about bread.
Toast is where the sliced non crust part of the bread gets cooked. You can't make toast when originally cooking because you just end up with thicker darker crust. The inside of over baked does not become toast.
