  • I often scrape the toast,mind you I like my toast very well done and it has to be cold,if it's hot It just is'nt the same and it just has to have butter and marmite on it.OH will only eat it cold as well.

    Oh thank heavens it isn't only me! I only like cold toast too. I like my butter etc to sit on top, not sink in.

    It's called Murphy's Law :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I suspect it happens in all households!

    I tend not to burn toast anymore if I can help it but yes I would give it a scrape.

    My great grandmother – bless her was a feisty Welsh woman, only 4”11 but with bags of energy. My mother always describes her as a 100 mile an hour cook. Everything was boil or off and I remember with some nostalgia waking up when she was down for a visit the sound of rapid, energetic scraping of toast after she burnt it – every single time. There was actually a circle of charcoal round the bin where she’d been a bit overzealous!:eek:

    I could make it better myself at home. All I need is a small aubergine...

    I moved to Liverpool for a better life.
    And goodness, it's turned out to be better and busier!
  • I love this post, made me lol. I always manage to burn the toast even with a toaster. So in the morning the sink is awys full of black bits. Come to think of it my mum always burt the toast I wonder if this is a learnt behaviour.

    I used to eat it like that - with real butter it goes paper thin and drippy!:rotfl:
  • This thread has made me laugh so much - especially the remark about toast sweat!!!!! (Laughing out loud - colleagues think i'm crazy!)

    I always throw out burnt toast - i think its after years and years of enduring scraped toast after my mother had burnt it.

    We had the joke too where my dad used to say you know breakfast is ready when you can hear the scraping!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  • I like my toast to be done, even it means putting it in the toaster again!
    As for the 'toast sweat', I usually put a piece of kitchen towel on the plate to stop this happening. I hate soggy toast!
