Toast


I'm scraping the carbon off my burnt toast when it occurs to me, why is there a setting on my toaster that burns toast? Why would anyone want that?

You might well have hit the nail on the head there Fewclewz. I'm, however, inclined to think that the manufacurers are cunts.

Dear old Da.
I remember how we used to come to him when something didn't work and hang on his silence until his eyes lit up and he'd anounce, "I know why it's not working, It's broken!"
He was serious. Thought we hadn't realised.

I guess they're set for freaks like me. I kind of like the burnt bits.

It's the "You need to buy a new toaster" setting!

To offset your 'carbon footprints' or 'carbon toast' in your case you must plant a tree in the back garden

maybe it's a nostalgia thing for some folks - reminds them of mum.

At least you scraped the carbon off....I'm too lazy and just slather on extra jam or peanut butter to mask the flavor.

Fewclewz- I can't toast another slice, it's the post war 'waste not want not' ethos.

Snooze- So it's all your fault. One lady in Vancouver has dictated the settings for the whole world.

Lippy- Are you saying your toaster doesn't burn toast. Mind you what should I expect for £4.60.

Frobisher- I'm not planting anything on the cliff face that constitutes my back garden. Instead, I'll commit to washing my sideplate at a lower temperature.

Phlegmfatale- Oh yes, waking up to the sound of scraping toast. It's all comming back to me.

MJ- I'll paint the image of the virgin Mary in water on the bread before it goes in. We'll make a fortune.

I- I'm the same with shell in my fried eggs. Just eat them with a bit of crunch.

Vancouver? God, no.

Maybe some bread is a bit resistent to toasting...or a maintain a high insensitivity to heat and therefore require a much higher level of heat in order to toast.


Yeah, I'm reaching!

Very astute of you, Awa' then again, if I'd acknowleged that it wouldn't have been funny:-)

I know!

I quoted your question about toast to a friend. "This is funny", I thought. I added that the last two settings on mine were for "Fire" and "Must now replace burned toaster".

His answer came instantly, and ended all mirth within a 600m radius for at least an hour (there was a pub within that radius, and it was indeed very solemn when we were there. This may not be proof, though).

"Frozen bread", he joylessly intoned.

I could weep. That's just not the spirit!

Anyway, don't freeze bread! Buy it when you want it!
