To think toast is one of life's greatest pleasures?

Lighthearted thread.

Couldn't decide what to have for tea, so I settled on toast. Fresh white loaf with loads of proper butter on with a cup of tea. Simple but absolute heaven. Perfect combination.

DH couldn't care less about toast and rarely eats it

AIBU? What's your little pleasure?

Oh bagels. Ive just remembered another terrible thing I used to eat loads of. So toasted M&S sesame seed bagel, lots of butter (LOTS) and then M&S seafood sandwich filling slathered over that.

Its a real mystery to me how I managed to be so overweight!

Oh God, I miss toast. I miss it so much. Soft, white bread.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago. What I wouldn’t give to travel back in time to eat toast.

Gluten free bread isn’t the same. I’ve tried them all, believe me. Every brand, even baked it myself. It’s not the same.

Bloody love toast and all things toasted! Tea this Thursday is a halloumi, honey and harrisa toasty.
Off to look at toasting forks as well, feel we may need one of these in our lives!

And bagels and crumpets 😭😭😭 Gluten free crumpets are a crime against humanity.

Favourite lunches:-

Mushrooms on Marmite toast
Tomatoes on Marmite toast
Poached egg on Marmite toast
Scrambled egg on Marmite toast
For afters honey on toast

Each of those options can also be improved by adding cheese. Even to honey on toast.

@MyDogSmellsTerrible I used to work for Betty's and their toast was immense we could have as much as we wanted when working! Their marmalades were pretty good too, must go and stock up for Christmas.

It's a no from me.

I'll eat almost anything, but don't like toast or tea!

Toast is life. I'm currently working on shifting my Covid two stone by following a low carb regime. I don't miss rice, pasta or even potatoes but it's the dream of a Sunday breakfast of toast, butter and marmalade that keeps me going.

Perfect toast would be 6, with president butter.

I'm partial to a 9, left to go cold then slathered with butter.

Wonder if they’re hiring?! 🤔

The butter is divine. It’s a bit salty, but just the right amount. I’m meeting a friend there on Friday - will definitely be having some toast!

😯

Have you thought about therapy?

It is the number 1 most memorable and comforting meal ever.
My daughter is a midwife and there is a toast making skills test before qualification!!!

Try marmite and banana on toast too 😊

Toast is my favourite food

Yep. The perfect meal replacement. I had it tonight for my tea (homemade bread with butter and marmite) - with a cup of tea!

I don't eat toast often but the optimum is a 4 or 5, although I'll accept anything from 3-6 :-D

I like when the margarine is fully melted, but there's a small, thick still-melting blob on the toast!

Toppings I like, varies according to my mood:
beans
Cheese
Peanut butter
Raspberry, pineapple or strawberry jam
Honey
Lemon curd
Eggs (scrambled or fried), with avocado on if I have it

Toast is DP's signature dish.

My lovely old Dad used to have a bit of toast for his supper at night but it would be black as coal 😄Crumpets were the same, he only liked them utterly burnt to a crisp. I'm not quite that bad but I do like things properly toasted, otherwise it's just hot bread and not toast, right??

Proper toast (and almond croissants) are the only things I've really missed since going gluten free.

The gluten free bread just isn't the same 😔

I want toast now 🙁

Yes toast is absolutely one of life's great pleasures. Tea for me tonight was 1/2 large slice of sourdough toast spread with Utterly Butterly AND drizzled with good slug of with olive oil topped with 2 fried eggs( made myself eat some veg too), followed by the other half with butter and strawberry jam( then made myself eat some fruit). See it can be a balanced meal!!

Coming back into the house when one of the DC has made toast is almost as good as toast itself. The smell is so homely and comforting!

5!
