I have phases where plain, untoasted toast bread is exactly what I want to eat. And I live in Germany, good bread is quite readily available, though it's getting pretty expensive these days compared to storebrand toast. On that note, good bread with butter is great. Truly great bread tastes good plain!

The annoying part is that getting a fresh loaf with just the right amount of moisture depends on luck and/or getting to the baker really early. For my tastes, German rye/wheat sourdough bread turns from "great" to "just OK" rather quickly, especially if you're buying half loafes because you're living in a one person household.

One of my last memories of my father is making him toast. Then he asked for another. Then we laughed when he asked for more. We ate the whole loaf laughing.

Toast is a weird thing where you take bread, which is baked, and you say "no, this needs to be baked even more! In fact I'll buy a machine specifically for doing this!"

Phase? You mean the craving for good butter toast is going to end at some point?

restrain yourself

What’s that?

My dad and I used to eat an entire French baguette on the way home from the grocery store. I love bread.

Did someone say buttered toast??

There are people who don’t experience this?’

Only when I make my own bread. Store bought bread is basically tasteless and should only be used as a medium to contain sandwich ingredients when you wre too tired/lazy/incapable of making your own.

Id rather have some olive oil and balsamic vinegar but yeah I'd eat that every day if I could

My daughter came over once & I had fresh sourdough I'd made so I offered her bread and water.

"May I offer you fresh sourdough with butter and chilled filtered water?"

Yes I don't get tired of that. Good bread is good. So good.

Yup it's happened to me too

Toast with butter and jam.

Toasted English muffin with cream cheese and jelly goes crazy.

Doesn't every culture on earth have some sort of bread product? I would guess that is because once you have it, it is addictive.

Used to up until my early 20s, I very rarely buy plain white bread now and it's not that common in stores here (Sweden). Obviously there's two or three brands of basic white toast bread and some in store fresh white bread but we have tons of choices with so many different ingredients, and never any weird additives or bread that is as much bread as american cheese is cheese (seen those kinds abroad and from images and videos from the US).

My current two favourites are a wholegrain durum wheat sourdough with flaxseeds and sea salt and the other is a rye sourdough with wort, barley malt and a small amount of dark treacle (similar to molasses in taste). But I often try new kinds, even the smaller food stores here have like 30 different breads (not including stuff like burger and hot dog buns etc.)

Mmmmm Fresh sourdough from a bakery

Try fresh tortillas, they work the same way. Not the precooked ones, but the raw ones you cook on a pan.

Depends, only if its fresh bread and preferably sourdough :3

Yeah. Most evenings when I get back from work.

re: buttered sourdough bread: also fantastic is texas toast on a skillet - just melt the butter, let the bread soak it up on each side, then pan toast that shit. it's glorious.

I don't experience the restraint

Buttered toast with peanut butter. If you can get some homemade apple butter to make it a sandwich, now that's the best thing ever.

Folk Wisdom: The whiter the bread the quicker you're dead.

That's just being French, but yeah, we hear you ;)

I miss the days before I'd made the very upsetting connection of the digestive consequences for eating a loaf of buttered toast with eating a loaf of buttered toast.
