If we put bread in our toaster "standing up" it doesn't toast the top fifth of the slice. It's not a quirk, it's a necessity.

This might be smart-alecky, but: it depends on the shape of the bread. ;)

If the loaf is wider than it is long, it might be better to put it in on its side. It might be vertically short enough that it would be harder to fish out, or it might be horizontally too wide to fit. I usually buy French bread, Italian bread, and European-style rye; they're baked on flat surfaces and don't have that vertical loaf-pan aspect ratio.

Then there's bread machine bread, which doesn't have a 'top' or 'bottom'. It has a lid end and a kneader end, but when you're cutting sandwich-sized slices, they're symmetrical.

You need to discuss this with Alex, because he said "standing up".

Real men don't eat toast.

They eat bagels. Raw.

Toast = warm, stale bread.

"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that..." *shrug* What he does with his toast is his business.

The only time I really eat toast is if I've melted garlic-and-herd cheese over it and there's a whole bunch of sauteed-in-garlic avocado on top.

What do you use to sop up the yolk from over easy eggs?

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I don't eat 'em that way. Scrambled or omlettes for me.

The necessity is to get a toaster that is more spacious!

Now,

What end do you open a banana from?

Why?

[thebitterguy]

The end that bunches.

That is the perfect use for toast. I have to make toast with eggs, just for that purpose. :)

I remember my university psychology profressor suggesting that if you wanted to blow someone's mind, try peeling off one section only of a bannaaa peel then eat it like a watermelon in front of them.

[doc-mystery.livejournal.com]

If you really want to blow their mind, open it from the non-stem end by simply pinching it.

The stem side, the side we always use from habit alone, is actually more difficult to open.

Exactly. Dry toast + egg yolks = Crazy Delicious.
