I always butter my toast then strap it face up to my cat, drop the cat on the floor and see which side up it lands.

NO!!!!

The best bit is the melted butter dripping down your arm, all lovely and warm, mmmmmm

I does this sometimes too. Either that or a melt the butter and pour it on it till it's soaked

brianthedog · 18-01-2008, 10:11

I'm the same. It's got to be cold before getting buttered. I even stand it up so the slices lean against each other in a 'T' shape to ensure it doesn't go sweaty from the steam! The last bit is a must if you're intending to cut them into soldiers for your soft-boiled egg!

That's just plain wrong. You should not be allowed to eat toast.

Although I eat my toast warm, eating toast cold is an accepted culinary practice. Toast racks actually allow toast to cool evenly. Apparently posh folk preferred eating cold toast in peace (ie the servants left everything out and then they came in to eat) rather than having servants hovering about during breakfast.

Ooh no, red hot toast for me every time with dripping Lurpak. Did John Tickle too ever get that toaster out that was going to pop the second slice up around 20 seconds after, therefore, having 2 perfect slices? I've never seen one?

laughalot01 · 18-01-2008, 10:19

no has to be cold with lurpak cant stand melted butter on toast yuk

Shiesh · 18-01-2008, 10:20

cressida · 18-01-2008, 10:23

a schoolfriend used to bring about four rounds to school every day, she always used to share it out, and it did taste rather good, mind you we were probably ravenous

julado · 18-01-2008, 10:23

I am another one who likes cold toast.....well I would like it hot or warm but I don't like melted butter....so ergo the toast has to be cold.....mmmmmmmmmm.......haven't had breakfast yet.......TOAST, TOAST, TOAST!

Actually, when I was growing up, the bakers days off meant there was no fresh bread available on either a Sunday or a Monday. And as we didn't have a fridge or freezer at the time, if we took a packed lunch at the start of the week, my mother used to give us sandwiches with the bread toasted.

laughalot01 · 18-01-2008, 10:30

Surely it will just spin in mid air, that's the formula for anti-grav.

*binty* · 18-01-2008, 11:01

Cold toast, thats rank! It has to be nice warm toast with loads of butter/marg on so it's dripping....

Code13 · 18-01-2008, 11:04

[QUOTE]my mate only browns his on one side. foul [=QUOTE]

That was the norm when I was growing up, as people tended to make toast with the grill, not with a toaster (indeed toast made in front of open fire was the ultimate way to go).

It is also recognised as a trait of the English in Sting's "Englishman in New York" of course.

blondie-blue · 18-01-2008, 11:04

YEAHHHHHHHHHH...... i always stand my toast up against each other so it cools down really quickly, i love cold toast with loads of butter on .......
