Stand the toaster on its flattened base in the middle of a plate, insert a slice of bread between the sides, turn down the lights and put a match to the fuse. The toaster flames up briefly before its embers glow for a minute.

This magic moment is over when the bread falls over. Brush off any benign ash, spread butter on the warm, crispy, golden surface and enjoy.

Mmm, lapsang souchong bread.

baked? I think the first toast ever made was probably made with real-live fire instead of electric resistance. This just adds a disposable / highly consumptive element. FarmerJohn usually does better.

I've made toast over a fire before. It feels wholesome.

Maybe if it was a thin plank of cedar or something. I'll have to think about this idea more before I give it my vote either way.

[etherman] Nobody bribes the farmer.

[jutta] Think candle lit breakfast. Think sunset or rainbow. I think sometimes a piece of white/whole-wheat toast with just butter can release myriad taste sensations of yeast and grain(s).

[sophocles] I’m probably more environmentally conscious than you. Even some of your electricity is produced by coal and gas. No, the farmer doesn’t usually do better. This is about average – my best for the moment.

The Farmernator will be back.
