Do americans eat toast?

[Lisa]

I hardy ever eat toast. Just not used to it I quess.
Only eat toasted ham and cheese sandwiches sometimes and for me there's only one way to prepare them properly.

So here it goes, THE BEST WAY to prepare toasted ham&Cheese sandwiches:

Get two slices of bread
butter them on all 4 sided
Then heat up the cooking pan and butter the pan
Make sure you use a lot of butter (real butter)
Put on each slide of bread a thick layer of (young) cheese
Put a thick slice of ham in the middle and make it a sandwich.
Put the sandwich in the pan
Make sure the pan is not too hot cause you'll need to melt the cheese completely and not burn the bread in the proces
Flip the sandwich over a couple of times so the cheese will melt evenly and the outsided of the bread will get an nice golden brown look.
When the cheese is melted and the bread is goldenbrown your ham and cheese toasted sandwich is ready

And I'm sure even Pinky won't be able to resist

You can also use two cast iron pans. Butter up both sides of the sandwich, heat up both pans and put one cast iron pan on top of the sandwich that is in the other pan. An alternative to those sandwich grills.

I love toast with butter, jam, jelly, preserves...whatever.

However, I prefer biscuits. Not those crumbly mid-western jobs, but the chewy layered ones that they serve in the deep south. I love em' with syrup (ribbon cane), honey, jams and jellies, but most of all, with some good gravy...

I'll toast a bagel & top it w/ cream cheese, tomato, onion and a bit 'o smoked salmon. (Add salt & pepper to taste.)
I'll also toast an english muffin right before I put canadian bacon, poached egg and hollondaise sauce on it.
But by far, grilling w/ butter is the best way to make sh%tty american bread edible.
Consider the mighty grilled cheese sandwich!
Or the lowly grilled Tuner samich!
(I'm still trying to find someone else who keeps their food warm on superheated Sony HT amps. Good for warming Cognac too!)

No, don't eat much toast.

i'm suddenly reminded of the movie "made" when the scotsman is complaining about how many different kinds of toast you can get in america. anyone else see that? i don't know, it just struck me at the moment for some reason.

American biscuits are more like bread, sort of similar to scones. Well, I think. That's at least what "tea biscuits" in Canada are like..

Oh! well that's a bit more palatable sounding for sure

I thought he meant "biscuits" as in hob nobs or custard cream style.

I believe that toast is eaten in every continent. Even in non Western countries, toast is commonly known.

That’s said, I do not own a toaster.

I also believe that toast was way more common in America like 50 years ago since the food variety was not as wide today.

You can still easily find toast but people tend to be more modern and eat less traditional these days. Many people would rather just go to a Starbucks and eat a snack with their coffee in the morning.

This is cheese toast. Cheese in the middle and cooked in a pan. Cheese toast.

 

[Spareribs]

Japanese toast. Tomato sauce and cheese. Thick bread is a must.

When I stopped by the UK, I was surprised how the breakfast looked similar to the US, except the beans. They add beans.. To me, it's strange to be eating beans during breakfast.

UK breakfast looks like diner style or farmer's breakfast in the US. In the diners it's pretty common to see pancakes instead of toast.

I figured UK was the origin of US breakfast. Other parts of Europe not isolated like the UK across the water, they eat sandwitches for breakfast. Weird. Deli in the morning with coffee.
