Correct way to eat toast

[SlimPig]

AIBU to think that the correct way to eat toast is to eat the crusts on 3 sides, then the best, middle bit, then the last crust?

I swing between thinking hot melted buttery toast is best vs cold toast with unmelted butter, variously too.

If I had any to loan you, I would! 😀

I really want toast now.
Hot, cut in triangles, salty butter.

Sorry why is this even a question? Are you that bored you need to ask strangers the correct way to eat toast 😂🙈 wow.

Jesus Christ

The crusts are the best bit so you leave them till last.

Cold, with a layer of salted butter so thick you leave tooth marks in it.

Whole slice, eat the crusts, save the middle for the last mouthful.

I'm in both camps,butter it while it's hot and top it up when it's cooled down a bit.

I am eating toast now. I eat the slice whole, in no particular order, but I keep a centre bit for the last bite.

Oh and I butter and eat it while it's still hot/warm.

10000% this. I didn't think anyone else did this so I am thrilled

Seems to be lots of people interested all the same.

slightly cool, with thick slab of butter on so it doesn't all melt into the bread, in triangles if I want to dip it in my cup of tea. Ok I'm a slob, but just drooling thinking about that right now!!!

I'm sure you'll find threads elsewhere about politics today/the meaning of life/whatever you find more interesting, if you look.

I thought this was a good-natured thread until I saw your post, OP.

It is, but eating toast crumbs from tea with a spoon is a going a bit far.

I won’t eat toast that’s warm or too toasted. I like it very lightly toasted and then left to cool propped up so it stays crispy and doesn’t get all disgusting wet condensation underneath. Toast sweat 🤢
Then a liberal application of proper salted butter (absolutely nothing spreadable from a plastic tub) and cut in half. Begrudgingly eat the crusts but if there’s one left at the end it goes to the chickens.

It's hardly a good-natured thread. But you keep telling yourself that it is.

Move aside everyone, I have just eaten a slice of toast so am clearly an expert.

1. Toast must be as hot as possible. Add toppings quickly. I recommend spread (oh, butter, I miss you since my lactose intolerance developed) and marmite OR homemade jam OR marmalade.
2. Toast must ALWAYS be accompanied by a Nice Cup of Tea, to be dipped in between bites, so get the kettle on.
3. Cut prepared toast in two. You can change it up by going diagonally, vertically or horizontally.
4. Eat crust of first half, then savour lovely middle.
5. Repeat step 4 with other half of toast.
6. Make second slice as first slice was so gorgeous.

Replace retriever with Labrador and that is exactly how all toast is eaten in our house.

Surely you CANNOT eat 3 sides??? The middle bit must go floppy and you’d have to contort you face to get the correct angle to catch the middle part?? Madness!

You quite obviously should take the toast out of the toaster straight away, butter it and cut diagonally. Then eat each half from one end to the other. Thus giving you the stability of the crust in each bite and no chance of a saggy middle.

I just eat evenly, don't like eating crust and being left with soft bit. I like variety 😂 Oh and last bits of crust are for cats.

Yes. And then I scoop them out with a spoon and eat them.

The police are on their way

Make the toast, let it go cold, butter it, eat it.

Anything else is just self indulgence.
