Toast was all about finding ways to use stale bread again. It also kills mold.

I'd be interested to know if toast came before the end of the frequent consumption of stale bread.
Many of our recipes are based around using and eating stale bread, and in modern times require you to toast bread as most don't keep bread that has gone stale.
If you think of things like French Onion Soup, that traditionally used stale bread, not toasted bread.
So I wonder if toasting was a way to compensate for not having stale bread, or if folks were in fact toasting bread long before the norms changed.
Toasting does freshen up stale baked goods somewhat. When the necessity to eat stale bread vanished, people started toasting non stale bread, because they liked the taste of toasted bread.
What’s your go-to toast topping though? Because if it’s just butter we’re basically soulmates, but if it’s something cursed like Marmite or ketchup we might need to have a serious conversation 😂
Butter is king. I like a bit of honey with it from tie to time, but plain buttered toast is the dog’s bollocks.
