I learned the other day that British have a delicacy called the toast sandwich which consists of a slice of toasted white bread between two slices of untoasted white bread with optional butter in between.

Well now I have a delicacy called the toast sandwich.
That actually sounds kind’a dynamite.
Sweden: hold my sandwich cake!
Smörgås tårta.
I've not heard of anyone else making such a thing, but not surprised it does exist. However, I can 1-up that with my childhood creation - the triple fold sandwich. One slice of buttered bread, one slice of buttered toast & one slice of butter fried bread. Fold each one in half, overlapping half of the adjacent piece. You get a mix of three different bready textures & flavours in each bite. I haven't made it in a few decades so I may not enjoy it so much now, but it was good at the time!

I’m fascinated by the existence of so many foods. Who decided to boil tree sap for 3 weeks to make maple syrup? Who agitated cows milk vigorously for 20 minutes to discover butter? Who saw cheese for the first time and decided to still eat moldy milk?
I thank those nameless humans for their service to society.
Butter was discovered by accident when humans were still nomadic tribes. Milk was transported in animal skin bags and the agitation from travel turned it into butter. Probably being chased by something or running very fast.
It's proposed that cheese was discovered the same way, when the rennet in sheep stomach sacks used to transport milk curdled the milk into curds and whey.
The question remains - how hungry must they have been to still eat that?
As the old saying goes: " 'twas a brave man who first ate an oyster." (Pretty sure this is an Oscar Wilde quote)

For every person that managed to make maple syrup there must be several that made a stew from danger-mushrooms.

I think there's a lot of "dare you to eat that" in food history.
There's also a lot of " Tom didn't make it" and "Not gonna do that again" in food history.
blue cheese was discovered from a guy eating lunch in a cave, and leaving it unfinished to go talk to a pretty girl. when he came back months later the cheese had molded into blue cheese and he ate it and it was good

Who though to stab a tree and collect the juice? I want that mf knighted
Right? And trees that leak, like pines, have sap that tastes like absolute ass. You’d think they’d avoid tasting tree sap at all costs

Has anyone tried cooking it again? Projections show an incredible increase in flavor!

Update: my house burned down
You don't have to specify that the house burnt down, they usually don't burn up.
Me realizing with horror that "burned down" and "burned up" are often completely interchangeable
That photo looks more like a pancake than toast
Yeah it does look a bit thin

In Germany we call bland white bread "toast bread" because it can only taste good when toasted.
I also often call it that (I'm Polish-British)

Answer: people said the crust was the best part of the bread. How can we get crust on more of the bread? Slice the bread and bake it again.
try making a loaf of bread with like 6-12 tbsp of chestnut honey, specifically chestnut. Eat some fresh but let it cool and toast it after. It goes with everything and it smells amazing. I eat it with ice cream for an unparalleled ice cream sandwich that make those store bought bricks look and taste like dirt in comparison.
It's crazy because chestnut honey smells and tastes kinda not food like IMO. Like a mouthful of worn pantyhose that has done an office shift and then inhale through the nose. Not saying I've done that but that's just the image I have in my head from trying chestnut honey on its own.

Just wait until you try doubled fried french fries. It's the only way i eat then now.
Dat Maillard reaction tho....
I'll bet it was the french. Those motherfuckers LOVE maillard.
We should all love Maillard and the wonderful culinary reaction he invented! Can you imagine trying to enjoy food before we created caramelization? That had to be just awful, it’s no wonder they just ate everything raw.
Probably first did it to kill off mold
Atleast the toast is on mute.
Accents like that and the shit cropping are becoming the sort of artifacts that authenticate a human touch. Like using dogs to weed out Terminators.
Until T2000 comes melting and oozing outta the side of your flat screen. Then we'll all be muted toast.
Imperfection is often the defining feature of art.
You know the best part about this, you can put so much on toast. SOOOO much.
Butter, syrups, jams, nut butters, or even just go plain and dunk it in something tasty (Hot Tomato soup in a mug, to dunk your lightly buttered toast is amazing).
you know the best part above all else, you can toast nearly anywhere in 2026. There is USB powered toasters, as DC buck-converters easily take USB-PD and warm up some coils!
