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 Grin

AIBU? What's your little pleasure?

The question is, do you like it light or dark? Somewhere between 3/4 is my preference!

No 6 for me, 7 at a pinch. I love toast, but if I had really fresh crusty white bread I wouldn't toast it, i would just have it as it is with butter and cheddar cheese.

Anybody in Yorkshire who's tried Betty's toast will agree it's the best toast in the whole wide world.

It's utterly delicious and now I'm really hungry thinking about it 🍞

Betty’s cinnamon toast is my absolutely favourite.🩷

6 is about perfect. I've recently discovered that I love cold buttered toast too.

Oooh yes, like the toast you used to get in hotels in the old days when it was put on the table at the start of breakfast - not like this awful stuff you have to toast yourself

Yes! Loads of butter and cheddar.

I love toast.

If I had to choose one thing to eat for the rest of my life, it would be toast.

Yes! Loads of butter and cheddar.

And maybe some crisps on the side

ChilledToTheBone · 27/11/2023 22:06

Lived on this or a bowl of cereal for tea for many months. Loved it.

Deathwillbebutapause · 27/11/2023 22:07

Toast with Heinz tinned tomato soup, or toast with poached eggs.

Sahara123 · 27/11/2023 22:09

Mmm Allinsons seedy with raspberry jam or honey, or thick white toasty bread all buttery with marmite and a strong mug of tea! Heaven

HRTQueen · 27/11/2023 22:10

I absolutely love toast so does my cat he always has his own little square 🥰

i like it either very light or burnt (this isn’t given to the cat) burnt buttery toast with very soft scrabbled eggs is an amazing combination

nettie434 · 27/11/2023 22:15

Love toast. Just sad I could not show my love in a poll! I like 4/5 browness. I actually enjoy hot buttered toast on its own but sometimes have honey or marmalade

lissie123 · 27/11/2023 22:18

I sometimes treat my dogs to marmitey toast for a treat. A small square each. They love it .

chimichangaz · 27/11/2023 22:21

I had toast on Friday night after sinking a bottle of wine while out with the girls. Heavenly.

It has to go cold and then be buttered though.....

Rockfordpeach · 27/11/2023 22:21

Cold toast and pate is my favourite food

Icanttellyouanything · 27/11/2023 22:22

6 or 7 for me.
Showed DP the chart and he's gone for a 5 or 6.
My first job after leaving school had a toast trolley that came round every day at about 11. You ordered and paid when you started work and it was delivered to your desk by the lovely lady with the magical trolley.

mumda · 27/11/2023 22:23

Lidl sourdough bloomer. It's the best.

mrsbyers · 27/11/2023 22:25

Cold toast butter then set honey and a good crunchy layer of maldon salt - my heart

CyberCritical · 27/11/2023 22:27

Yep, it's just the perfect food, whenever DD has her friends round I end up making a load of toast for snacks because it's almost universally liked.

My lunch tomorrow is beans and cheese on toast.

Thats dangerous talk.

Brown seeded bread, 5 or 6, with peanut butter and banana for lunch today. Only disappointment was using the smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy, but it was too late and I couldn't stop myself once I'd started. Will do better tomorrow

HumerousHumous · 27/11/2023 22:50

Number 7.

With slices of cold cheese (not cooked, so just off a cheese block) and smothered in HP Sauce.

Sourdough or wholemeal seeded bread or even better, bread I've made myself.
