Toast is sliced bread which has been browned by exposure to dry heat. This browning reaction is a form of Maillard reaction. Toasting warms the bread, making it more pleasant to eat for some, and makes it crisp such that it holds toppings more securely. Toasting is also a common method of making stale bread palatable. Toast is often served with butter, cheese, marmalade, or any number of other toppings. Toast is a typical breakfast food.

[edit] Toasting methods

The usual method of browning bread is by the use of a toaster, first used in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century,[1] a small appliance made for that purpose. For a modern toaster, sliced bread is placed into the narrow slots on the top of the device and the desired toast setting is selected (some toasters have more elaborate settings than others). Then, the lever on the side of the toaster is pushed down, simultaneously turning on the heating elements.

[edit] Using a grill

Toast can also be prepared under a grill (UK definition, not a BBQ). This method requires turning the toast halfway through the cooking process, making it less convenient than using a toaster. This method also allows a range of toast based dishes to be created, for example cheese on toast where the bread is toasted on one side, turned and topped with cheese before finally grilling the second side.

[edit] Using an open fire

Traditionally toast can be prepared on a wood or coal burning open fire, using a toasting fork. As with the grill based method this requires turning the toast during the cooking process.

Care must be taken while toasting bread to avoid burning toast unless it is desired in that state. Burnt toast is possibly carcinogenic, due to elevated levels of benzopyrene. [2]

Toast is commonly eaten with butter or margarine spread over it. Jams and jelly are also commonly used as toppings. In some countries a more popular practice is to spread a yeast extract, such as Marmite or Vegemite on toast. "Beans on toast" and "Eggs on toast" are both very popular simple meals in the United Kingdom. Other methods of preparing toast include to sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon on buttered toast, creating cinnamon toast.[3] Toast spread with jam, jelly, apple butter or marmalade is commonly associated with breakfast. It is sometimes used instead of fresh bread for making sandwiches (such as a BLT sandwich).

Toast is a common component of many breakfasts, and is also used in some traditional bland specialty diets for people with gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea, or morning sickness during pregnancy, such as the BRAT diet consisting of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.[4]

Bread can also be cubed before being toasted, sometimes after being coated with seasonings. These toasted cubes are called croutons, and are often added to salads, soups, and other dishes.

I watched that flash of yours and thought: 'Why did he use sprites? I thought he hated them.'

Unless if you made the sprites yourself...

EXPLANATIONS AND ALL ARE NEEDED.

Was a good shorty. hahaha.

Ooh! C'mon, girls!

Rock all day
Sniff that line
Roll that money
No more clowning around for you!

Got it bad?
Then get some blow
They say it's gonna snow
Put cool white christmas up my nose!

I ain't no weatherman, don't know if it's gonna rain
'Cause I'm a rock 'n' roll clown, I do a lot of cocaine

One of these days they're gonna take me away
'Cause I'm Dr. Rockso, and I do cocaine!

Huh? What's that, Judge?
Oh, why is my nose bleeding?
Oh, well, you see, I... I fell down.

I tip my hat, say goodnight
To the lovely lady dressed in white
A smooth white princess in the night

Aaah, you know it makes me so sad
Parting with my albino friend
But all good things, they must end
Goodbye snowy road

The jitters make me so sad
You know I cannot take it no more...

You need more wittles.

There's a lesson in there somewhere, something important that everybody should know.
