"Toast! A little bit of toast!" as Paul Young sang back in the days before he was famous.

Hmmm. Loverly warm toast.

However, just like in the song there is so many options when making toast.
which sort of bread is best? Should it be really fresh? Butter or marge? Hot or cold?
What do you put on it?

I think everyone thinks they make the best toast; so fellow forumers I put it to you : what's your recipe for the perfect toast?

Lightly toasted, just warm enough to melt butter (not margerine).

anyone who disagrees can google fight

I don't really like toast. It's just burnt bread, and it goes cold too quickly.

I disagree.

Bread is just raw toast :P

Wilf

Toast has to be made with thick bread, toasted till brown on both side, and buttered straight away so that it melts into the toast. Nothing else on it.

light or dark brown?

It makes a difference, because dark brown is too cooked

Wilf

I like my toast well done, but not burnt and left to cool on a toast rack (or my fave way, stacking it into a pyramid :P) then spreading cold butter (not marge!) over it

making it the wilf way you may as well butter some bread and stick it in the microwave :loopy:

Toast? well done?

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's just not right, it getss tuck on your teeth, like crisps do.

you want it to be flexible, not able to snap, otherwise you get crumbs everywhere.

What is everyone's favoutire topping?

I'm a tradiionalist: butter, or butter and jam.

Wilf

Mid brown. So it is cooked, not too light so it is still like warm bread and not dark brown and crispy so loadsa crumbs don't come off. Buttered straight away so that it fold easy and the butter melts.

Our headmaster at school has arranged for toast for the staff at break on a Friday morning and it is nice, but you have to get there early to get the right done bits.

I like toast well done with butter on thick bread.

I've been banned from making toast due to nearly burning down the house last Wednesday.
I have a combination microwave and put some cheese on toast on which i adore and rather than grill it for 6 minutes i microwaved it and caused havoc.
She would have hit me with the frying pan if she could have seen me through the thick smoke :D so from now on she makes the toast.
However I like thick bread only and lightly done though the experts say leave the toast to cool for 2 minutes before putting the butter on.
I like my butter on as soon as it comes out of the toaster.

Thick uncut wholemeal bread.toasted both sides.served hot, with soya margarine, liberaly covered with baked beans. Heavenly!!!

Why have cheese on toast... ...when you can have toast on cheese?

Think about it - a nice load of partially melted cheese on a plate, with a piece of toast slapped on top of it. Mmm.

Now then. Cheese on toast is art form in itself. Do you toast the bread on just one side or both? Do you slice or grate the chesse? Do you toast so as the chesse just melts or do you blast it so as it browns and bubbles?

My recipe: grate 2 or three different cheese and mix them together. Add some Worcestershire sauce and a dash of milk. Mix in with cheese. Toast bread on both sides (preferably thick cut granery). Liberally coat toast with cheese mixture, add a dash of black pepper, and then toast until cheese just bubbles. Serve and eat immediately.
