Toast Poll

yeah i got bored even just typing it out but face it anything other than the cold option is a red herring, deal

voting "while hot, golden" but i'm not hardline about white bread tbh

i find slathering more butter on top deals with the melting ish

yes yes but i mean that's hardly just a toast issue and i haven't all day man

note i have all day obv i mean look at the poll i just started

i was gonna start a poll about "do you prefer to read the book first or see the film first" so i'm feeling you on these key issues

not a big fan of cold toast i've got to admit

feel free, i suppose, to elaborate on yr alternatives to white bread or to introduce a finer grading system of carbon crusting or temperature w/e below the line, once i have the headline censored idgaf really

i will be requesting a threadban for anyone protesting butter tho, fair warning. arsheesh notm.

xp ya but i took today off to code an array of 10,000 non-repeating numbers and suchlike

but, and this is v much a blue saturday xover i think, the thought of writing a simple but useless program that does the same thing as the other twenty ppl in the class that will not in any way approach an already-existing most efficient way of solving this non-problem let alone address the inherent ridiculousness of repetition by humans of these simple logical steps when we invented the alu to do just this type of thing well i mean i just spent the morning making toast

i vex my lecturers in class discussions and have incited more than one revolt form nothing but sheer malevolent whimsy

dude that is one of the key things that makes me give up learning programming right at the start even tho i think it wd be fun

also i am having toast when i get home

ok well let us know

ps it is fun but yknow this is a task with a set deadline and well you know

I voted wrong! I meant to choose Butter while hot (real butter, white bread, toast that shit just golden, yeeeahhh)but I hit the first option instead. Just saying in case it's a close call.

"golden" is definitely the optimum toasting level, maybe a decent wholemeal/granary can't achieve said colour but i think it can reach the same level

hot, golden, yeeeahhh

ha ok who's fb friends with me cos that wording now looks less than unintentional one a couple of levels

Man, I think I am the polar opposite to you on this toast issue. Butter while hot - some kind of margarine type spread - brown bread - toast dark.

Also Marmite.

Have never had toast

Fuck that white people shit

takes all sort emil.y, all sorts of depraved and evil types obv but nevertheless

shit did i forget to put the 'wites only' tag on this thread? shit, can't reasonably call jjj to do a threadban based on race can i

can i?

might mail him.

Using a toaster is way overrated. Soften the butter, butter the cold bread, grill it in a pan on the stove. Bread gets hotter and you've got better brownness control.

when americans say 'grill' i dont know what they mean but it surely cant be grill

makes u wonder what else hilarious or confusing misunderstandings you could have online with americans, rly

it's almost as if there were two nations divided by a common tongue - Bob Marley

For whatever reason, there are times when you just can't go out back to grill. It's these times when you need to know the basics of broiling in your oven. There are similarities and differences that can make your broiling successful. Many recipes give instructions on the use of a broiler as an alternative to grilling, but they just don't explain the fundamental differences that you need to know.

^ no fuck it repeal whatever and invade these sick fucks all over again, we'll help this time

'broil' has the ring of a word invented when a small colony of ppl arrive ashore and they person they consult on matters linguistic if doubt arises is a chancer of the highest order

to be honest, I have never known what to call it when I melt butter on bread in a pan, but it's not the same thing as toast.

it's FRY ffs FRY you are FRYING that's a TIP

i feel like i'm talking to crazy ppl here but i mean it's calming me to realise that i am in fact talking to crazy ppl

well, we didn't all go to fancy cooking school like you.

"grill" as in "grilled cheese sandwich," i.e., butter side down in a hot flat pan. OK, frying.

yeah, I just didn't think it was frying if you applied it to bread.

is that a grammatical or a culinary rule, and either way why on earth

no wonder my broiled steaks are turning out less than great

So you can't makes toast OR steaks right? Dang, son.

Wait, my mind is being blown... a grilled cheese sandwich is actually fried?

i had figured this out somewhat after numerous HOOSian updates but i think that i recoiled from full implications, yknow?

and may god have mercy on my soul

I eat toast dry.

you have yr option, feel free to use it and by god dont let sunset see you in this thread or else

Wait, my mind is being blown... a grilled cheese sandwich is actually fried?

first found this out when looking up grilled cheese recipes and yeah my mind went moebius too

currently dipping warm buttery toast into a bowl of Scotch Broth btw

ya i'll gonna have another slice i think

onto the hot cross buns now

butter on hot golden toast

anything else is incomprehensible to me

butter while hot - but spread sparingly, toasted to golden or slightly darker

a grilled cheese sandwich is actually fried?

haha what

The weird thing is that grilling as in actually grilling with a grill is a good way to make toast

How do you make yours? xp

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Acceptable

I just searched for a thread on toast cos I had toast and idnr starting this

I did FP a few posts again tho

Jesus tho, toast, eh

idg the white-bread haters itt -- what do you sop up your bbq sauce with? also, a pan de mie fresh out of the oven is a lovely thing.

pain de mie even.

Just received notice my FP count went up by one

my conscience is clear

The Guardian weighs in...

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/09/how-to-eat-toast

Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?

I don't know for sure but if Irish white bread is similar to what in Scotland is called 'plain bread' then DM's enthusiasm for it is entirely justified.

Just had some now, without butter, with parfait and salt and pepper

I'm enjoying this because now I'm the dark horse of the thread and I've never, ever been the dark horse of an ILX thread before

ugh, tony naylor, how, why

dmac's most important contribution to ilx

Cold toast? "So the butter doesn't melt"?? What's the point of any of that.

so help me je55e I'm doing p well avoiding ilx but don't test me

m&s high bran bread, avocado oil spread in place of butter: turns out not even a health kick can ruin toast

^this is an otm post btw and it's kinda amazing how much time passed before anyone commented on this absolute lunacy

bc its dmac taking the piss

its like pouring the milk then the cereal

i believe i countered it with my first post tbh

i am so having marmite and toast for supper

NB: the main reason supermarket white bread from a commercial bakery toasts up such an even golden brown is that it is formulated with a higher sugar content which helps increase its shelf life. Toasting, for example, a traditional baguette just cannot compete in that department. Different beasts.

used to love lightly toasted slices of baguette when I was a kid

But, despite tasting delicious, I'm pretty sure those baguette slices never achieved a perfectly even golden brown.

Oh yeah you're right

Fuckit having more toast

toasters seem like they are a lot shittier now

like the bread browns too fast & the insides just steam so the toast gets soft right away when you spread butter etc... but if you turn up the heat it burns

yeah, plus my toaster doesn't even fit a full slice of most loaves - i know the obvious solution but i'm not made of money

My insistence on cooling the toast so that the butter doesn't melt in is sincere and one of my only irl foibles

I make a triangle of the slices to cool them the quicker.

It's because uniformity of butter or any comestible lubricant is not just boring but an actual travesty. Getting more than the fair share of the heartstopping stuff in any given bite is like a second Sunday in the week.

Not to mention that to make the toast soggy by melting yr butter on the hot surface is a desperate choice. Be reassured that I find your decision to do so as wrongheaded as you seem to view my methods, but I forego the self-indulgent urge to label you pisstakers on the back of it. For shame.

staggering tbh

xp

does cold toast vs dmac using nuclear butter look like hiroshima post a-bomb

Cold toast is more like t-bomb tbrwu

I'm glad we finally talked more about this. For the past 2 years I've pondered the question of dmac's cold toast pretty much every time I've eaten toast.

My mum goes the cold toast route. It's inhumane, in my opinion.

This is the hill of beans I'll die on, no bother

does it get toasty up there

i don't eat cold toast but i generally let it sit for about 30 seconds in the toaster so it's not quite piping hot either - also if you transfer directly to a flat surface it gets soggy (which i guess everyone knows hence the existence of toast racks)

I thought 'It's hardly worth a poll' immediately followed by a realisation that I Love Toast a lot more than I Love Music and they'll poll any ole shite without a care.

this was the real motivation ftp

Is "grilled bread" simply toast?

I dread to imagine what else it could be
