    Unevenly-cut bread that catches on an edge in the toaster (hot cross buns are almost impossible to get any decent colour on without a fluffy bit catching)...
    I should probably confess at this point.

    I once evacuated a financial institution's large central London office building for an hour using only a fluffy seedy roll.

    Breakfast in the in-house canteen.
    Next to the conveyor toaster, there's only white sliced packaging-foam... or delicious looking fluffy seedy rolls.
    Well, there's only one answer here as to what to wrap the sausages and bacon in, isn't there?

    Slice the roll in half, onto the chain-link, and wait...
    Except it got snagged inside...

    As the thick smoke turned into flames, I grabbed the two slices of toasted white just landing into the out-tray, and joined the orderly queue heading for the door. Eventually, the fire brigade let us back in.

    I toast hot x buns in my halogen oven.  It takes a bit longer than the toaster but you can get them to the exact level of “toastiness” required and no burnt bits round the edges.
