Texas Toast

texastoast

For them as don’t know what Texas toast is, it is, in the words of the astonished Danny Kahn, former music director of WORT-FM (Madison, Wisconsin), “nothing but thick slices of Wonder Bread, toasted!”

P.S. Y’all, this is not a snapshot of something in my pantry.

    As well as an “excellent source of calcium”.

    TOASTED! Friends, you must toast it. Just the bread is not toast. I had this discussion with a friend from California (booooo!) about this, and he was convinced that since manufacturers are packaging bread and calling it toast, that just thick bread is Texas toast. Friends, he is not right. And I object to the packaging that labels bread as toast.

    In certain Chicago coffee shops (not cafes), as perhaps elsewhere, Texas toast is known as Greek toast.

    Thick bread is not Texas toast! It must first be squishy aerated bread, and then you gotta toast it.

    Mary –

    You hadn’t even heard of the phrase “Texas Toast” before — so shut the fuck up and quit being all Larissa

    I merely said there is thick white bread called Texas Toast

    Friends! The Freemasons are behind this conversion in meanings!

    Don’t forget the BUTTER!

    Butter? Cooper, Cooper, Cooper. Margarine. Or — another variety of ‘spread’.

    If you stick regular bread in a toaster bread gnomes take it and give you toast. If you stick thick bread in a toaster the bread gnomes have to call their heartier Texan cousins, which leave you heartier (Texas) toast.

    I’m confused about what the colonies mean by toast! I mean, here toast is bread toasted – simple really – under the grill or a fancy dancy toaster but heated until it goes brown on both sides and then apply whatever makes you feel good!

    Of course we don’t sell bread here and call it toast – that would be silly!

    I’m not a butter person – I like garlic rubbed on mine then a nice scrape of Marmite. I usually look for someone to kiss afterwards – just to share the experience. It always seems to be the cat in line though.

    That’ll be your animal magnetism, Phil.

    A regular cat magnet, he is, that Phil.

  13. Phil Bebbington on March 28th, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    Sheila, most would say a shit magnet!

  14. Dave Vogt on March 28th, 2009 at 11:24 pm

    *shrugs*

    Some people don’t like cats.

    But nobody doesn’t like Phil’s Timmy B.

    [...] Texas toast. Not just LARGE. Manifold. Variform. Ubiquitous. [...]
