No need to be high, hot buttered toast is, in fact, amongst, if not the, tastiest creation on the planet. It's got carbs and it's got fat, a combination which is almost as temoting as sugar and fat.
You also sprinkle some stuff on it for variety, cinnamon, curry, cumin, sprinkles, sugar, etc.
Have you heard of garlic?
Yes, raw garlic needs to be cooked and the powdered salt just isn’t the same. Now it’s no longer “just sprinkling” something on if you need to manipulate it first. Even if you need to chop it.
garlic only needs to be cooked for babies :P, but it can be part of the toasting process too.
I melt the butter in a pan, put the garlic in with it. Then use the bread and soak up the butter/garlic mix, before sprinkling paprika on top and throwing it in the oven.
I went through a butter toast phase when i was about 10. It started as just 1 slice after school. Then, it was 2. Then, 3. Then 1-2 every hour before bed until my mom finally put a stop to it. You could smell that the downstairs neighbors were crack heads, but i dont think i ever had a contact high to trigger the butter toast phase. I just liked toast for the toast of it.
I remember fresh bread and butter. Yum.
Not anymore though because my body decided it makes sense to attack itself when I eat the tiniest particle of gluten. Celiac disease. Ugh.
Potatoes and butter.
I'd probably pick bread as my favorite food, but at one point doc had me try going gluten free to rule out some possibilities. No gluten issue, but it really made me value a nice potato! Potato is just underground bread.
Yes but don't forget the salt there.
Syracuse, New York is nicknamed Salt City, as it was a huge commercial salt producer for many years. There is a dish called Syracuse Salt Potatoes which boils the potatoes in a very saturated brine, as salt was in no short supply.
The skin on the small potatoes keeps too much of the salt from being absorbed, and the centers get such a creamy texture while as the water evaporated off the skins from residual heat, it leaves a beautiful powdered salt coating all over the outside. Then cover or dip (I like to dip so the salt doesn't run off) in melted butter and enjoy! Must be tasted to be believed.

I love potatoes. I used to talk down on them too. Not anymore. Meat and potatoes, or beans and potatoes whatever you want.
As someone who was diagnosed at 43, I relate so much to this comment. Most things, buttered toast included, aren't worth the weeks of pain. Although, I have seriously considered a Dick's Deluxe burger on a couple of occasions.

You probably know this stuff better than me since you're coeliac, but just in case you don't: try the Loopy Whisk's bread recipes. I have a couple of coeliac family members and these are by far the best results I've gotten for making gluten free bread for them
Thanks. I'll check it out.
Buttered toast with some garlic powder was one of my go-to "I'm broke as hell, but at least this is tasty" foods.
TF I'm in my 40s and when I make bread with dinner it's basically the same thing with some kind of fancy bread. Olive loaf is calling my name.

Sounds like a "it's 2am and I'm stoned" thing. So sometimes, yes.
After how many decades should I expect this "occasional phase" to end?
This is mainly why i don't buy bread loafs anymore. I will make 4 or 6 slices of toast and wonder why i'm such a fatass.
That all depends on if I smoke weed or not.
Its just you. I'm not restraining.
On of last memories of my father when he had cancer was eating an entire loaf of toast with him. We just kept laughing and making more until there was no more bread on the house
Yes, but with real bread.
It's super delicious and I feel fulfilled after 2 or 3 slices.
Not only real bead, the kicker is good yeast, there is a yeast that gives this Great Taste of bread, it's hard to find. But some yeast is vastly superior to others.
Yep, i sometimes bake bread and using different sourdoughs (which is wild yeast) changes the taste considerably. And using only industrial yeast is immediately noticeable.

Come to France and try toasted baguette with salted butter, it won't be a phase.
i used to work next door to a bakery. the owner/baker grew up (and learned to bake) in belgium. she imported her flour. probably still does. it was my first job and i still miss that summer sometimes. Tina and I still do coffee once a month.
Lately I have discovered plain toast is pretty good.
Peanut butter and jam is an amazing combo.
Instead of putting it on toast, make a grilled PB&J. Butter it and cook it in a skillet just like a grilled cheese.

"occasional phase", sir you mispelled "permanent condition of humanity"
Yes, but only if I squeeze a bit of honey on top too. Honey toast is where it’s at.
Wait till you try different breads. Raisin bread, rye, rye with caraway seeds OMG.
Even just butter melting on warm fresh bread. I love my breadmaker for that, it's so simple, cheap, and easy. Throw the ingredients in (flour, salt, yeast, sugar, water and margarine) and walk away. 3 hours later you're scarfing it down while the whole house smells like freshly baked bread.
Let me tell you all about a little thing called buttered toast dipped in hot coffee. Hell of a breakfast.
When I lived at my dad's a long time ago now he got furious at me for eating straight slices of bread with butter on them instead of making a sandwich.
I loved that shit and I'm sure I still would but that experience kinda killed it for me.
