Were you using a toaster or old school grill action?

Toaster, but it got cold cuz I was watching Doc Greene teaching his daughter to drive, so I put it in again and forgot about it worrying about Doc Greene collapsing.

I scrape if there's no more bread. Needs must. (Though I can never remember if charcoal is good for you after all or not.)

Scrape - because FOOD MUST NOT BE WASTED

Sorry, just had a flashback to childhood there.

― Ray M (rdmanston), Monday, 19 August 2002 11:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Somehow I always seem to wind up doing both - hubris (I can make this taste OK if I try hard enough) clobbered by nemesis (no matter how hard you try, charcoal generally doesn't taste very nice) Gah.

I like burnt toast, settles the tum

Depends on the amount of burning. Worse comes to worse you just have a very crunchy sandwich.

Do you ever shove it in the bin and then dig it out and eat it?

Rock bottom in only three days!

Disguise the dry charred tastelessness with tons o' jam! Oh who am I kidding, actually I just throw it in the backyard "for the birds to eat" (ha).

― Poppy (poppy), Monday, 19 August 2002 23:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Archel, I heard that charcoal "cleans your blood".

― rainy, Monday, 19 August 2002 23:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I vote for scraping. But you do have to put a lot of jam on it.

I wish I had a Ned's -fanny samwich

Scrape it. Binning it will not make the smoke alarm turn off any quicker so I may as well be eating while the damn thing screeches. However sometimes you have to use an industrial strength spread to mask the burnt flavour- Vegemite anyone?

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 20 August 2002 03:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Vegemite? Pah! MARMITE is the hardcore version. And that way you don't even have to burn the toast in the first place to get the same taste.

― Ray M (rdmanston), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 08:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Let it cool, then break it up into your stinky runners and it'll make them less stinky.

Then you can make new toast without feeling like some wasteful eco-vandal who is ruinning the world and deserves to be stabbed in their sleep.

― Winkelmann, Tuesday, 20 August 2002 09:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Mmmm toast. I wish I had some toast. I am a lightly toasted person so any burnt offerings get sacrificed to the god of the BIN and I do not worry about it. Better to have intended to eat it than to let it go mouldy and throw it away anyway.

Seeing as we are without toaster as the last one went up in flames, we have been using the grill. It's not a patch on the toaster. I would like a four seater Dualit job. Mmm.

We took a picture of this old toaster at the design museum. It is beautiful.

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 09:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Gasp! I ate toast from a Dualit toaster quite similar to the one pictured on Sunday. It was made tastier by the fact that said toaster had been half-inched by my friend from her place of work! Hurrah! Contraband toasters!

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 09:55 (twenty-three years ago)

That's exactly the same as my toaster except it's pink.

Burnt toast is carcenogenic, reportedly.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 10:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Carcin bleh

Don't pregnant women often get cravings for lumps of coal? I'm so not having kids.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 12:13 (twenty-three years ago)

i quite like burnt toast. not CREMATED you understand, just lightly carbonised. num.

! Though allegedly some might agree.

(Note the logical not at the beginning of that statement)

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 14:44 (twenty-three years ago)

US fanny or UK fanny?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 14:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Sources report something resembling a Momus Fanny.

― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Bin. I waste food because I am still a spoiled child (and I like it).

Momus Fanny should be copyrighted or trademarked or whatever. Having a little letter in a circle immortalizes things.

― Maria, Wednesday, 21 August 2002 00:50 (twenty-three years ago)

bin. even if you scrape it still tastes like burnt.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 01:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Such was not my intent.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 03:22 (twenty-three years ago)
