Would you like a piece of toast?

Growing up I thought my Scottish uncle had lost his mind. He would take his toast from the toaster and put it into a holder until it was stone cold. Then he would put on butter and a topping. Then enter my Australian hubby who likes his toast cold too and he puts that horrible Vegemite on it too. I guess it is what you do in those strange countries. I like my toast warm and my butter melted and topped with peanut butter. I think Marmalade is over rated and only use jam when Peanut butter is not available. Am I a toast snob? How do you like your toast?

I like it with cinnamon and sugar sometimes too. I also like to put a piece of cheese on bread and stick it in the oven for a little bit so the cheese melts and the bread is crunchy.

I love toast - cinnamon toast, toast with peanut butter, a good jam. It is a quick breakfast. We used to put butter and powdered sugar on it, but had to be hot when you ate it. I remember my grandpa always dipped his in his coffee.

I like mine warm with melted butter and Marmite (Vegemite is very second-rate compared to Marmite!). Occasionally I will have marmalade and often I just have toast and butter.
Crumpets are another favorite. They have to be hot so the butter melts into the holes. They are best just with a sprinkle of ground pepper.

I knew you had to be English as soon as you said Marmite was superior to Vegemite. My Aussie says Marmite is second to Vegemite, I think they both taste like sh*t! I love crumpets and have never tried them with butter and pepper I think that sounds pretty good. I like honey melted on my crumpets!

I discovered recently that Trader Joe's stock crumpets. I don't know if you have Trader Joe where you are - I believe they are a West coast store.
Another excellent thing for crumpets is cheese (cheddar or something like that) gently melted into the holes.

I only do this once or twice a year...I spread honey roasted peanut butter on toast right out of the toaster, nice and hot and then top it with cherry preserves. I know, I know..how fattening is that!
But wow is it good.

I hate melted butter so I always let my toast go cold too!
It's yummy! I know a lot of people think I'm odd for doing it though.
I also like Marmite (a lot like Vegemite) and peanut butter!

Nope, just salt.
Isn't it odd that melted butter tastes so different to unmelted?!

I read somewhere that agreement does not make for a good discussion, but oh well, I too am a toast snob. I don't use marmalade at all, but I do like a little honey swirled into my peanut butter. And I like the butter to be dripping... I passionately believe in doing whatever gives you pleasure!

I like my toast warm with butter on it or peanut butter and jelly. I dont like cold toast. I have seen other people do it and when I was younger I went on trips with our church and we stayed at other peoples house and they sat a plate full of toast down and it was all cold. I did not eat any.

I take my toast out of the toaster and put butter and grape jelly on it. Sometimes I take it out of the toaster and put peanut butter on it. I like it when the toast is so warm that it kinda melts my peanut butter just a little. I don't wait until my toast is cool because I like to eat it when it's still warm.

I only eat my toast cold if the butter was melted on while the bread was still warm. Sometimes I eat butter only. If I top it with something else it is butter and grape jam.
I don't put butter on if I am using peanut butter.
When I was a kid, I would melt the butter on, them dump sugar all over it. It tasted good, but thinking about it now makes my teeth hurt!
