But my answer has always been the same. Quite simply, I love toast. Now it seems I’m not wrong.

The Benefits of Toast

Firstly consider toast’s versatility. It tastes great with hundreds of spreads and foods, it can be used in almost any meal and is pretty much a meal in its own right – toast is the way that many people start the day.

Cheese, jam, marmite, peanut butter and much more – there are hundreds of ways to enjoy toast that suit a wide range of situations.

One of the main reasons I love toast is that it is easy to cook. No messy pans, complex recipes and the like. Toaster, bread, electricity. Ok maybe complex if you had to invent and make all those things yourself but thankfully someone has already done that for us, all we need to do is combine the 3!

It’s cheap too. Bread is very cheap and available from almost every newsagent, petrol station and supermarket in the world for very, very little. Margarine doesn’t cost much and most toasters are available for next to nothing as well – and last for years and years.

Toast as a Super Food

Well it may not cure cancer, make us immune to swine flu, get world peace, win a world series or any of the other ludicrous claims that those trying to sell me ’super foods’ claim theirs will, but I don’t believe them either.

The fact is that toast IS healthy. Or can be if you don’t cover it in too much jelly, which I admit I may do from time to time.

White bread toast is unhealthy (no matter how good it tastes) because of how white bread is made. But when you start looking at brown bread, wholemeal bread etc you begin to realize that actually, toast really does have some health benefits.

The fact is that as part of a balanced diet toast can really work at helping bring down cholesterol, fight diabetes and much more. Now I am no scientist but that seems to be all the qualification I need to dress it up in a red cape and underwear and start flying it around the city calling it ’super food’.

Yes it may get some odd looks but it should get the point across!

I love toast because it tastes great. I love toast because it is so versatile. I love toast because it is cheap. I love toast because it can be so healthy (when done right).

In other words, I love toast. Do you?

These costumes are completely original and one of a kind. Audrey and her mother spent days designing and sewing the garments together to get ready for the big event.

This transparent toaster allows you to see the bread while it is toasting so you’re never surprised by toast that comes out too dark. This idea is based on a transparent heating glass technology. Although the glass does not currently get hot enough to toast bread, the vendor explained with some R&D this application may be possible. The concept was developed by the Inventables Concept Studio.

Michael Jackson fans have come up with a novel form of memorabilia to mark the singer’s acquittal on child abuse charges – toast with his face on it.

Slices of toast with the star’s likeness and slogans such as “not guilty” have appeared on internet auction site eBay.

Vendors claimed the slices were not faked – but popped out of their toasters before or during the verdicts.

Toast said to look like the Virgin Mary sold for $28,000 (£15,400) last year.
