Yeah toast!

I like some butter on mine, but sometimes I go for orange marmalade.

I'm a fan.

My mom sends me maple creme from VT which I enjoy spreading on my toast.

But I like plain old buttered toast too.

As a child, I was all white, all the time. Now I am an enjoyer of the interesting texture of a hearty whole wheat multigrain toast.

Homemade bread, toasted until dark brown, with a somewhat unhealthy amount of butter

I suppose, though I've always felt that if it's a good, properly made, fresh bagel, there's no need to toast it.

Unless it is fresh but not hot, like when you go to the bagel store and they took out the everything bagels a half an hour ago and they have cooled down. Of course, if one of the bins has the "Hot!" sign on it, I always go for that one, unless it is one of abominable sweet bagels like cinnamon raisin or blueberry.

What about english muffins? I'm a big fan of those too.

When I was a kid we'd often have toast with butter and Dutch hagelslag. I never talked about my breakfast much at school because saying you had toast with chocolate jimmies was just weird.

Today I'm more of a toast-and-peanut-butter fan, particularly when I'm under the weather. I just feel better.

Crunchy peanut butter, mind.

Toasted croissants with butter and honey.

Toasted 1/2 split croissants with a light bernaise sauce, choices of meats, cheeses and tomato or asparagus or artichoke hearts. (papillions)

French toast with butter, and syrup or honey.

And a camp favorite (said in sing-song, schaukelieder fashion):

"A toast to the ghost
Who ate most of the roast
And died of a stomach-ache--too bad!"

I like it enough that yesterday I threw away my toaster that was refusing to toast and replaced it with a nice toaster oven.  I celebrated by using my new oven to broil a steak and then to toast some fresh sourdough bread to put under it.  Then I did a happy dance.  I will make more toast to eat with the rest of the steak tonight.  I will do another happy dance while the bread is toasting.

1) English muffins with cream cheese and Lekvar's prune butter.  (DO NOT DOUBT ME.)

2) Homemade oatmeal bread with lots of butter and a sprinkling of sea salt.

3) Homemade white bread (buttermilk bread is best) with lots of butter and apple butter.

4) Cheese toast! 

5) Cinnamon toast!  (The Only True Method: broil slices of bread on one side while you mix up softened butter with appropriate amounts of sugar and cinnamon; spread over the unbroiled side of the bread and broil till it bubbles.  Once it cools from nuclear temperature, it forms a delightful crystalline crust.)
