I don’t know about elsewhere in the world, but every drive through, fast food, breakfast choice in the US has a huge array of dough items on the list: muffins, bagels, croissants, English muffins, French toast, buns, rolls,tortillas, pancakes, biscuits, and sourdough bread, but NO Toast! One cannot drive
through and order Toast. This just baffles me.
Now, I love toast for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Therefore there are an unlimited amount of toppings one may put on toast, also. [see link-Mr. Breakfast has 271 toppings]
I propose, a wonderful bakery that makes breads only to add a drive-thru window for Toast only. Of course there will have to be a ‘toast condiment bar’ located inside for all the extra, added toppings, but the usual ones will be offered at the drive-thru like butter, sugar, cinnamon, peanut butter, jam, garlic, cheese, Cajun spices, etc.
I like whole grain breads and rye with caraway seeds, so this bakery would bake many hearty types of bread that could stand up to becoming the very best toast. Obviously, much attention will be made to serve the toast to one’s liking. It will be available in light, medium and dark toasted. Wrapped with care, folded tenderly in wax paper left open just slightly, so the toast will not become soggy.
I think maybe the bakery can be shaped liked a loaf of bread, (but it doesn’t have to be) with the Crust Arches at the Drive-thru section for ordering and pick up.
Please do not complain about the crumbs in the car! If you love toast, this is just a small price to pay for a warm serving of delicious toast ready when you want it.

Easy on the garlic though. |
|
| |
nice link [skinflaps] I wonder if it would still be warm delivered to the US or would it still be 'today'? |
|
| |
Good idea. I've been known to order two eggs with bacon, primarily for the toast that comes with it. Never occurred to me to just ask for toast. |
|
| |
Xandram, the English eat their toast cold. They also appear to be willing to pay ten dollars a slice for it. Great link, [skinflaps]. |
|
| |
Toasty slice of croissant for the idea. American breakfast fast food is sadly lacking in taste and health. |
|
| |
Wow, //Mr Joseph Hocking, Cornwall : "Excellent. I buy in bulk and freeze. The whole process makes early morning starts a breeze." // - from [skinflaps'] link. |
|
| |
I can only assume this website is a joke - is it possible for someone to find it quicker to buy in bulk and freeze it rather than just cook the raw toast? |
|
| |
there could be chain of restaurants
stretching up the road, starting with the
toast then the beans, then the eggs, then
the coffee, then the chemist for the
indigestion tablets.... |
|
| |
(a friend of mine in New York once ordered
a single fried egg from Teresa's on First
Ave, and had it delivered ! (+) for a most
excellent idea by the way. |
|

Well, now I must admit that I had thought of "Tunnel of Toast" where one picks the bread and places it on a converyor belt / toaster and you drive along til it becomes the toast of your choice and you pick it off and end up at the condiment place, but then I thought the condiments would get all yucky, so I scrapped that idea.
I REALLY didn't know that the English like cold toast, but sometimes I like this also, because it can get real crispy, and that's what I like--crispy toast. |
|
| |
Now, now leave our toast alone. |
|
| |
All in all its just another loaf in the wall. |
|
| |
We dont need no thought control. |
|
| |
No dark sarcasm in the kitchen. |
|
| |
BrauBeaton, leave our toast alone. |
|
| |
Hey,BrauBeaton , leave our loaves alone! |
|
| |
//Xandram, the English eat their toast cold//no-one bothered to tell me. |
|
| |
hot toast, cold cheese and marmite mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
|
| |
Now I'm thinking I would like to travel the world sampling toast from all countries! |
|
| |
My method is to bring it as close to burnt as possible without burning it. Wait a second before buttering as I like it crispy and butter tends to make it soggy if applied immediately. It's still warm when I eat it. |
|
| |
[Ian] Please tell me why you are placing your bread under a gorilla? Or better yet, don't I don't think I want to know. |
|
| |
[po] it' nice to know not ALL English folks like cold toast. I don't care for sterotyping, so Thank you. |
|
| |
yeah, I saw the gorilla thing, but hey---each to his own. |
|
| |
A lot of things are sold toasted though. |
|
| |
I had an aunt who dunked it in tea... |
|
| |
and I had a GrandMother who shared her toast with her parakeet every morning....he'd get on the table and nibble away at the toast. |
|
| |
Thanks [prufrax] Love the link!! |

Cold toast: The Bane of My Existance |
|
| |
Because we put our butter in the fridge, it doesn't matter how hot my toast is, by the time I finish buttering the damn thing it's gone all cool and lipidity. So genius that I am, just put the whole thing back into the toaster oven for a warming up session. I leave it for the cat to clean the toaster oven. |
|

It's not supposed to be cold over here, it's just how it ends up by the time it makes it to your table, bearing in mind the UK in the winter is not exaclty a warm place (although there are a lot colder.) Some better places will bring a toaster to the table on a trolley, now THATS toast ;-) Now if you go to a little cafe, not a restraunt, you have a better chance of getting warm toast too. |
|
| |
[skinflaps] - like the (sic) Floyd. |
|
| |
Dark Side of the Rainbow anyone ;-) |
|
| |
Talking of toast, anyone remeber Talkie Toaster? |
|
| |
//Because we put our butter in the fridge// |
|
| |
There's your problem, butter does not need to be put in the fridge, unless it's really hot where you are. It was never refridgerated for centuries and suddenly we seem to think it needs to be cold. I hate cold butter, you can't spread it. |
|
| |
Now margerine, that different, it definitely DOES need to be kept cold. |
|
| |
You are right, butter does not need to be refrigerated normally but I grew up in Tucson, AZ. Mucho hot! And come to think of it, we do use margarine now- allegedly 'healthier'. Whatever that suppose to mean... |
|
| |
[xenzag] Thanks for the toast links. I just got a new computer this week and for some reason, I didn't hear the sound......dying to hear it, so I better get this working soon. It's like 6:30 am right now, haven't had my toast yet, either! |
|
| |
it's a quicktime file so it should work on
anything |
|
| |
And quicktime goes very well with lemon curd. |
|
| |
woo-hoo! [xen] I had to re-install my media player!! That song is SOOO cool! I love it. Wow, now I'm experiencing Multi-Media 'Bakery. |
|
| |
I can't thank you enough, because the desire to hear this helped me forge on to find out how to do stuff on my new computer. [I'm not a techie or anywhere near it] |
|
| |
Hey, great idea. I'd love to spend $2 on something that cost $.35 to make.
Seriously, I'm big into toast, but not markups. I'm bunning it for a unique concept and certainly as a side dish, but fishboning every bastard that tries to buy a Rolls with the proceeds. |
|
| |
[elhigh] We've never discussed the price.....anyway, I drive a Subaru. |
|
| |
[reensure] mmmmmm, that chocolate toast sounds delish!! but I didn't know the word *toast* came from the French! |
|
| |
I'd like to thank everyone for the votes as this is my first idea that has 'gone all the way'......
Thanks, and stop in for a *FREE* serving of the toast of your choice. |
|
| |
I love toast - and I'm a fan of it hot, or cold. I'd like to drive through a massive slice, but fear that I might get crumbs in my radiator. |
|
| |
One of the best things about toast is the rich gamut of toasty variations and associations: crumbs, hot butter-drips, toast-racks, crusts, toasters(the pop-up kind, both electric and gaseous grills, not to mention the high-bandwidth conveyor-belt type), melba toast, toasting forks, buttered toast landing butter-side-down (The BSD Principle) - oh and a whole host of other things. For as long as there's toast, there'll never be a dull moment. |
|
| |
I like cold toast. And cold pizza the next morning straight from the fridge. How about a drive-thru cold leftover pizza place ? |
|
| |
you know, I have thought about "cold pizza doughnuts" before, but I remember finding something like this existed somewhere... |
|
| |
...I've been out of *power*, ie. electricity for days at my house and had to make my toast in a woodstove holding it on a long fork!!
handmade toast! |
