I have phases where plain, untoasted toast bread is exactly what I want to eat. And I live in Germany, good bread is quite readily available, though it's getting pretty expensive these days compared to storebrand toast. On that note, good bread with butter is great. Truly great bread tastes good plain!

The annoying part is that getting a fresh loaf with just the right amount of moisture depends on luck and/or getting to the baker really early. For my tastes, German rye/wheat sourdough bread turns from "great" to "just OK" rather quickly, especially if you're buying half loafes because you're living in a one person household.

I miss the days before I'd made the very upsetting connection of the digestive consequences for eating a loaf of buttered toast with eating a loaf of buttered toast.

One of my last memories of my father is making him toast. Then he asked for another. Then we laughed when he asked for more. We ate the whole loaf laughing.

Did someone say buttered toast??

I'm staying in a friend's spare room at the moment, and one of the staple foods they always have in is bagels. I have been going nuts for buttered, toasted bagels lately. At first, it was just because I was hungry and there wasn't anything else in that I could eat, but lately I've been enjoying them so much that I've had to make them one of the items that I buy (so that I don't end up eating so many that they run out)

And cinnamon

Phase? You mean the craving for good butter toast is going to end at some point?

restrain yourself

What’s that?

My daughter came over once & I had fresh sourdough I'd made so I offered her bread and water.

"May I offer you fresh sourdough with butter and chilled filtered water?"

Yes I don't get tired of that. Good bread is good. So good.

Depends, only if its fresh bread and preferably sourdough :3

There are people who don’t experience this?’

My dad and I used to eat an entire French baguette on the way home from the grocery store. I love bread.

Try fresh tortillas, they work the same way. Not the precooked ones, but the raw ones you cook on a pan.

Mmmmm Fresh sourdough from a bakery

Occasional?

Folk Wisdom: The whiter the bread the quicker you're dead.

I don't experience the restraint

Id rather have some olive oil and balsamic vinegar but yeah I'd eat that every day if I could

This is me, but with naan and baba ganoush. Can put away 10 slices of naan if I'm left unsupervised.

Doesn't every culture on earth have some sort of bread product? I would guess that is because once you have it, it is addictive.

Toast with butter and jam.

Yup it's happened to me too

re: buttered sourdough bread: also fantastic is texas toast on a skillet - just melt the butter, let the bread soak it up on each side, then pan toast that shit. it's glorious.

That's just being French, but yeah, we hear you ;)

"Occasional"?

Yeah. Most evenings when I get back from work.

I really struggle to get through bread. Even whatever the hell the McDonalds brioche is made of, I can’t always finish it.
