Why does toast taste so much better than bread and butter? when all you are adding to the bread n butter is heat?

Dont say, "Crunchy" or "Hot".... mad.gif

I thought the only reason people liked it is because it is crunchy and hot. mellow.gif

I like bread and butter. I wouldn't say one is better, just...different. Wait a minute, why is this in "Mysteries of Mind, Space, & Time"?

[mitch_hedberg]I like toast. Peter Frampton, do you like toast, also?[/mitch_hedberg]
RIP, man

You are changing it chemically by toasting it, therefore changing the taste. Hence, it tastes better, in my opinion.

I've heard this also, as well as the resulting change in chemical composition effects the levels of seratonin in the brain of the eater. Someone in my HS used to say: "Toast makes people happy!" (and no, they weren't retarded; suprisingly) and there may be some truth in that.

Plus, it kinda melts the peanut butter; which I enjoy.

If you burn your toast and eat it after a night of drinking, the charcoal is said to absorb the alcohol in your body. Helping you overcome/prevent hangovers and feel fresh for the next day. I'd recommend this for college students to try.

Interesting, i read recently that toast combined with honey the morning after was a good hangover cure. Do you eat it before going to bed? I'll have to add that to my post-drinking rituals. I need all the help I can get.

Toast is better because it is:

1) Warm
2) Crunchy
3) Dryer
4) Melts butter
5) Slightly burnt (prealant)
6) Makes a crunchyish sound when you eat it
7) You had to make the toast, greater personal satisfaction of eating it yourself.
8) The heat makes it smell good and helps spread the aroma
9) "Toast" sounds better than "bread and butter"

Correction:
The chemical composition of toast is not changed unless it is burnt. However, it does lose a lot of water.

This reminds me of an email I got, here it is.

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households

score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home,

the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality

rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and

diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole

nations.

4. Every piece of bread you eat brings you nearer to death.

5. Bread is associated with all the major diseases of the body. For

example, nearly all sick people have eaten bread. The effects are

obviously cumulative:

* 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have eaten bread.

* 100% of all soldiers have eaten bread.

* 96.9% of all Communist sympathizers have eaten bread.

* 99.7% of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate bread

within 6 months preceding the accident.

* 93.1% of juvenile delinquents came from homes where bread is served

frequently.

6. Evidence points to the long-term effects of bread eating: Of all

people born before 1839 who later dined on bread, there has been a 100%

mortality rate.

7. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven

that as little as a teaspoon of dough can be used to suffocate a lab

rat. The average American eats more bread than that in one day!

8. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low

incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and

osteoporosis.

9. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread

and being fed only water begged for bread after as little as two days.

10. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder"

items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

11. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more

than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your

body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into

a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

12. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

13. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit!

That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

14. Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between

significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following

bread restrictions:

1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV
spots and bumper stickers.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal
ills we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal
to children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

This may be of interest to you toast lovers. tongue.gif

Mmmm! original.gif The BEST toast is when you slather hugely unhealthy amounts of butter on one side of a slice of bread and then toast it in a toaster oven or under a broiler. The butter melts and makes the bread all soggy, but the heat makes it lightly crunchy again. Yum!

Even better . . . GARLIC toast! original.gif

Dang! This thread is making me hungry. 'Scuse my drooling. hmm.gif
