Toast Is Good

You have this sudden pang of hunger in your stomach. You go where anyone would go to fulfill your needs; the kitchen. But as you look around you find nothing but bread, so you make the only thing reasonable and satisfying enough: toast. Toast is a snack food; a light amount of food eaten in a hurry or in between meals. It’s available and quick to make. Those are the very important aspects of snack foods. When it gets down to making other snacks, what can you think of? An apple, sure, or even a bag of chips, but there's nothing as wholeheartedly magnificent as toast. Toast only requires bread and a toaster; so simple a child could handle it. For those of us who are too lazy to make the effort of preparing a meal we look towards toast because it's the easy way out. Toast cannot be eaten just by itself, that’s sacrilege, so it has to have toppings.

I am currently consuming two slices of toast, made just two minutes ago. Now you can’t just eat straight up toast without having any decent toppings on it. Each of these slices of toast has different toppings on them. In the domain of toast there is the possibility of putting on a multitude of different toppings. With my two slices one topping is sweet and one is savory. On my first slice I have a fine layer of butter spread on it and then I smothered it in Lyle’s Golden Syrup. An interesting and peculiar topping it may seem to some people but it’s something I’ve grown up with. Upon the second slice of toast I have just plain peanut butter spread across the surface. Peanut butter on toast is a classic that some of us don’t get tired of. We all may see ourselves as connoisseurs of toast, having years of experience in the matter. There’s an option to toasting your toast to your own personal liking that is very important to all consumers of toast.

You want your toast to be at the most perfect toast level. What in the world would we do if we didn't have the option to change the cooking level of our toast. It would ruin some of our own preferences. Some people love their toast only slightly browned and just crunchy enough to be actually referred to as toast whereas others prefer their toast burnt and dark. With the different levels of how you like your toast done it just perfects the toast experience. Toast is delicious with melted butter on it, but try having bread with melted butter on it, doesn't seem too appealing does it? Overall, it's one of the most perfect options you could have in the world of toast, how you like it done. It's similar to how people like their steak done when the waiter asks them. Burnt to a crisp or just slightly crunchy to the bite. Toasting your toast to perfection is an art.
