Re: toast
Let us not forget the reason for this particular recipe thread. We conscience students of gastronomy have gathered on this thread to pay a sincere homage to one of the greatest food staples known to mankind ever. Toast.
The Ancient Egyptians are credited with coming up with the first form of toast. That was about 6,000 years ago. I was basically bread left out in the sun. But Toast evolved. Today, toast with Toast.
Toast. What can you say?
No matter what you top it with, you still got toast. Toasting bread in ancient times was a means of preserving it. The Romans spread the idea of toast throughout Europe, even into Britain, and the colonists brought toast to the Americas. The word 'toast,' in fact, comes from the Latin word tostum, meaning scorch or burn. Toast is essentially burnt bread, so the name makes sense.
Fruit, Vegetables, Meat, specialized preparations and spreads. Regarding edibles, you name it. You can have it on Toast.
So, please don't take toast lightly. It's been around the block. Kings have been fed Toast. yes, Toast is a Regal Food. Paupers eat toast. It holds the basis of life itself. Water goes well with toast, if that's all you have.
You can bet a baby will work a piece of toast over, and the elder folks will make short order of a nice piece of whole grain toast, as long as it's dry enough. Toast runs the entire Gamut.
Long Live Toast!
