Specialty Definition: Toast

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Toast is bread that has been browned by exposure to dry heat.

The usual method of toasting bread is by the use of a toaster, a small appliance made for that purpose. Bread may also be toasted in an open oven, lying on an oven rack. Toaster ovens are special small appliances made to be able to toast bread or heat small amounts of other foods.

Bread may also be toasted over an open flame. Special toaster utensils are made for this purpose.

French toast is not toast in the usual sense, but is bread fried with an egg-mixture coating.

Toast is an important component of many breakfasts, and is also important in some traditional bland specialty diets for people with gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea (such as the BRAT diet consisting of bananas, rice, apples, and toast).

Toast is most commonly eaten with butter or margarine spread on it, which ideally melt into the toast once spread. It may also be eaten dry or with preserves or other toppings. Toast is sometimes used instead of fresh bread for making sandwiches.

Toasting is also a common method of making stale bread more palatable.

Bread is sometimes cubed and toasted, sometimes after being coated with seasonings, and then used in salads or other dishes. These bread cubes are called croutons.

Also see Jaffle, Melba toast, Toasted sandwich. A toast is also a shared drink in honor of someone or something.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

BEG, v. To ask for something with an earnestness proportioned to the belief that it will not be given. Who is that, father? A mendicant, child, Haggard, morose, and unaffable -- wild! See how he glares through the bars of his cell! With Citizen Mendicant all is not well. Why did they put him there, father? Because Obeying his belly he struck at the laws. His belly? Oh, well, he was starving, my boy -- A state in which, doubtless, there's little of joy. No bite had he eaten for days, and his cry Was "Bread!" ever "Bread!" What's the matter with pie? With little to wear, he had nothing to sell; To beg was unlawful -- improper as well. Why didn't he work? He would even have done that, But men said: "Get out!" and the State remarked: "Scat!" I mention these incidents merely to show That the vengeance he took was uncommonly low. Revenge, at the best, is the act of a Siou, But for trifles -- Pray what did bad Mendicant do? Stole two loaves of bread to replenish his lack And tuck out the belly that clung to his back. Is that all father dear? There's little to tell: They sent him to jail, and they'll send him to -- well, The company's better than here we can boast, And there's -- Bread for the needy, dear father? Um -- toast. Atka Mip
