 MY
TOAST FETISH
I could live off toast, I could eat it for breakfast, lunch,
dinner and for any other snacks in between. The only
thing that goes on my toast is margarine, to put anything
else on would take the scintillating taste of the toasted
bread away. The type of bread is important but not crucial,
you can use a loaf that costs around ten pence, you know
that dead cheap white type that supermarkets are quite
literally giving away. It is okay but you do have to
realise that as soon as you taste it that the old adage
is true, you really do get what you pay for. I don’t
have a preference for white or brown bread it just depends
on the kind of mood I am in at the particular moment of
time. Though I do find it better to toast the bread when
it is fresh rather than toasting it straight out of the
freezer mainly because it goes extremely crisp and has
no soft centre to it when you bite into it. Even writing
about it now is making me feel a little peckish so you
will have to excuse me for five minutes while I go and
get myself some toast. I recently purchased a new toaster
though I am not really sure why as I make my toast using
the oven grill instead. By choosing this method it means
that I can keep a close eye on the bread as it quickly
changes colour to a lovely golden brown, no matter what
type of bread you use. I find it quite hypnotic to crouch
down and watch the bread crisp up, then when it is done
to your perfection you have to quickly turn the slices
of bread over so that both sides are done to your liking.
Then as soon as you turn the grill off you have to spread
the margarine on straight away, the amount that you put
on is entirely to your own taste. I find that the best
thing to do next is not to eat it right there and then
but to wait until the margarine has melted into the toast
and then it is ready to be devoured. Everyone has their
toast done differently and when someone else makes it
for you somehow, no matter how hard they try, it is never
quite right. Toast is lovely, so simple, uncomplicated,
quick and easy, I admit it now, I am a toast fiend.
