What Makes the Best Toast poll

Anyone have a good recipe for toast?

If you start adding recipes I'm going to have to move this thread to the recipe section.

Just so you know.

Bingo!  Mr. 95 included this add in, which I just happened to save, in this years festivus card.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. 

Rye Toast, Provided its Good Rye bread to begin with.

Sounds like Buridan's ass to me!

  "Or the even more perplexing question the Egg Roll....Egg or Roll, laid or just rolled...the mysteries of the food world are endless.... "

 
 
 
Regarding the "Egg-Roll"--I suffered a real problem when I was rolled once just after I was laid. It took a long time to regain my identity! That was a very long time ago!

Returning to the topic at hand (pun intended), I do remember enjoying the cinnamon/raisin toast we used to have with our weekend breakfast when I was a kid. That cinnamon spiral loaf with the frosting that always messed up the toaster was delicious !

You know, I have some pictures of toast that I took at breakfast the other day, I'll find them and post them so that we'll know what we're talking about. And everyone can oooh and aaah at my pictures of toast.

Well, if there was any travel involved...say between toaster and table, please place in trip report section. Trying to maintain some order around here!

Flag, you're, IT!

IMO, A good Italian bread makes the best toast.  The gold standard for me is either at the Kenmore Diner in Worcester, MA  or II Fornaio at NY NY in Las Vegas.

I've gotten toasted many times!

I fell in love with the Cuban style toast. They take a long baguette of bread and slice it into long wedges similar to a pickle and then toast it. It is d-lish ....

I am not a fan of Cuban bread as it is too doughy and has little taste, however I do like it toasted when it is buttered and pressed instead of placed in a toaster with some strong Cuban cafe con leche, more coffee than milk. I prefer the egg rools of a media noche sandwich more than the bread of a Cuban sandwich
 
My favorite toast is San Francisco brand extra soudough sliced bread loaf, slightly buttered and slighty toasted

I really dont like toast( i voted for an English muffin)Why take a wonderful piece of bread, dry it out, and add butter or jam? Just my opinion.

Now wait a minute.. How about the Howard Johnson's Toastee's??????
Did Howard have a stutter?
Toast or no toast?.. It was cornbread, but they call it toast-ee........

Whoa.. I tried to google image a toastee, and I got some pics of a porn star......well maybe in her mind.......
 
 
 
Ah... never mind..
 
I like rye.. love cuban bread but ya just cannot stick it in a TOASTER...( hence.. "Toast")...... unless you make it very small....Cuban bread should be drilled or pressed......

This is so funny to me, how in the world can a poll about something as simple as "toast" turn into a matter of symantics?
 
Pass the butter please, and I'd really like some blackberry jam.  TIA!

I hope nobody starts a thread about boiling water - it could get really bloody.

Last Sunday I breakfasted at a local restaurant and as always I ordered rye toast, and to my surprise the slices were about 3/4" thick (it was marble rye in the common loaf shape).  This is a new one on me; usually the slices are thinner although I've had white and wheat/multigrain toast that thick before.

I was surprised at how good it was.  The outside was nice and crisp with plenty of butter while the center of each slice was still soft and chewy.  Unfortunately I didn't think to ask the waitress about it, but the next time I'm in the local bakery I'll have to check to see if I can get an unsliced loaf to try it this way at home.

Agreed -- it has to be bread first to be called toast. Hence the names "white toast," "wheat toast," "rye toast," etc. You don't say "bagel toast" or "muffin toast."

Although NY rye bread is my favorite toast I think Amish White and Wheat bread makes great toast - here it is - in its nude condition:

When I get some in stock I will post it in its gorgeous toasted condition.

I love my toast with butter and cinnamon sugar!

Back to Smart Balance on the toast...no PHTP!

I'm amazed that no one has mentioned FRENCH TOAST! I make French Toast with 2 types of bread depending on my mood. I use French Baguettes or Challah Bread. I slice both of them into 3-4" slices on the bias so I call it Bar Mitzvah Toast! In a 9X13 baking dish, I scramble 1 egg for each slice of bread & 1 pack of artificial sweetener for each slice of bread. I add milk & GOOD quality Vanilla and mix it thoroughly. Melt copious quanities of butter in a high sided, flat bottom pan. Some people like browned butter, others do not. Your call.  Put the bread slices in the baking dish and flip over until both sides of the bread are coated and some of the egg mixture is absorbed. Put bread in the pan over medium heat until the surface is browned to your liking. Put on a plate & sprinkle with powdered sugar. The secret to good French Toast is the quality & the thickness of the bread---The thicker, the better.

I really love to toast a slice of pound cake!

A homer Simpson quote...
 "the toasters never lied to me before"

I really enjoy a Toasted Five Way. Toast, Cincinnati Chili, red chili beans, onions, cheddar cheese. Now that be some toast, right there!

From my childhood...one of the first things I would cook for myself...toasted white bread, heavily buttered and sprinkled with my mix of white sugar and cinnamon...my comfort food...melts in your mouth.
