Are you a toast snob?

Question

I love breakfast toast. I have to have speciality bread (usually bought at the day old bread store). My favorite bread for toast is real sourdough or anything with nuts and/or seeds. And it has to have real butter to spread. I eat healthy spread on everything else-but leave my toast alone!

Answer 1

Count me in on this one Debi, it has to be thick farmhouse white bread, dripping with butter, the brand of butter we had at home when I was a child, no other is the same, this is the only time I eat white bread as I know it isn't healthy with all the bleached flour etc, but I have to confess, I use real butter on jacket potatoes too, I'm very naughty....lol

Answer 2

Love dark toast when using seeded rye bread. Like homemade breads the best.
Love Artisan bread with rough crumb and crispy crust.

I want REAL butter - don't use that artificial stuff.

In the evening, before bed, sometimes I will have a cup of dark tea and a coupla pieces of toast with butter and cinnamon sugar.....MMMM!

Answer 3

Yes i am. Here is a really good recipe called pop eye.
You put butter all of both sides of toast. Put the oven on medium, and put a pan you would put eggs on. Once you have the Butter all over take a cup and push it on the bread so you have a circle on the inside. Take out that circle and put it on the pan. Then out the 'crusty' part of the bread on too, and get out 1 eg. Open the egg and pour it into the hole in the crust. What untill it cooks on one side, and flip it over, and you have delicious pop eye!

Answer 4

I make my own bread, and I judge it's worth on its toast-ability.

Toasted: it's butter.
Untoasted, it's an olive oil dip.

Sourdough is a fine art: It requires butter and I don't make it myself. The best comes from local mom-and-pops in Frisco.

I love rye with caraway seeds: it begs to be toasted, and yes, it requires butter.

My French bread requires cheese, country-side picnics and California Wines. You can't toast it because it shouldn't be sliced: it needs to be torn apart in the heat of passion.

My Italian bread requires garlic, and butter or quality olive oil, and a descent California Zin, with spaghetti or other hearty Italian meal.

I, too, am picky about my bread.

If you're in my area, let's start a restaurant!

Answer 5

I've given up on the spreads where toast is concerned and i've gone back to butter.

It does rip the bread up though in this cold weather!

Answer 6

Yes - my favorite toast is made with Pepperidge Farm thin sliced white...and it has to be a deep golden color, and it has to be spread all the way across the slice to the edges! NO jelly...[I can't stand pre-buttered toast in restaurants...they never butter the whole slice!]

Answer 7

I was diagnosed with MS last year and have completely revamped my diet. (on side note, it has worked great, feel better than I have in 20 years!) Part of that is not eating bread with preservatives and avoiding gluten.

Therefore........my toast is a whole grain dark rye bread that I get from Trader Joe's! YUM!

Answer 8

My very favourite is pumpernickel rye, which is a black bread with whole grains in it giving it a nutty flavour, toasted (you can't tell by sight, but it crunches) with a light skim of butter or margarine...I don't really care, and a large spoonful of strawberry preserves...like jam only twice the fruit--tastes like fresh strawberries!!

Answer 9

I love toast. I could live on toast. Whole wheat with real butter and coffee. Yummy.

Answer 10

I will toast whatever is here but prefer whole wheat with low fat peanut butter as the only spread.
