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.
Very similar to papas arrugadas, a traditional dish in the Canary Islands.

I love potatoes. I used to talk down on them too. Not anymore. Meat and potatoes, or beans and potatoes whatever you want.
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

OP probably high when writing the post
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.

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.
Buttered toast with some garlic powder was one of my go-to "I'm broke as hell, but at least this is tasty" foods.
Hmm.. I wonder how onion powder would be. Onion is my favorite bagel.

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.

After how many decades should I expect this "occasional phase" to end?
Sounds like a "it's 2am and I'm stoned" thing. So sometimes, yes.
Carb loading
My daughter has just discovered the joys of fresh baguette with butter. It's all she wants all day long
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.
"occasional phase", sir you mispelled "permanent condition of humanity"
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.
I also do all sorts of Homebrewing, maple wine, sometimes it's sugar, I'm getting into beer as soon as I can find a good source of monitoring for cheap which I apparently cannot do but I have used some native keys and it is amazing different flavors again from how awful the taste from Turbo yeast is.
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.
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 only if I squeeze a bit of honey on top too. Honey toast is where it’s at.
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.

That all depends on if I smoke weed or not.
Lately I have discovered plain toast is pretty good.
Sometimes I like toasted sandwiches instead of grilled. Toasted bread is just 🤌.
Butter that toast. Make super rich hot chocolate. Use some half & half in it, even. Dip that buttery toast in the hot chocolate.

Im going to go make some toast right now
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.
I'm french, I call that breakfast.
Its just you. I'm not restraining.
