Yes I believe the UK breakfast influenced America. Irish breakfast is very similar too.

You’re right about other parts of Europe. Breakfast is different.

There’s an authentic bakery near me that makes high end plain white bread with thick slices. It’s expensive around $5 for a half loaf but it’s excellent and the toast and grilled cheese sandwiches are on a higher level. Worth the splurge.

In my opinion, the quality of the bread makes a huge difference If you want to improve your toast.

I looked up pancakes and Scottish pancakes looks identical. It seems American pancakes came from Scottish. So, largely there's UK influence in American breakfast.

Electric toaster from around 1910. I’ve seen one similar in age at an antique store. Pretty advanced technology of that time period since many people back then did not have electricity. I’m probably the only person I know that has seen these this type of toaster.

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

That's a "grilled cheese sandwich" in Canada. Delicious, especially with a nice cheddar. Frying radically changes the texture of both bread and cheese.

When my wife visited the UK, she was served toast, but it was bread, fried in a pan that was just used to fry bacon.

I like toast and eat it often, but I prefer bread untoasted as long as it is fresh and well made. The sliced white bread that most Canadians eat has no flavour and no nutrition, a waste of time and calories.

When I was a kid we did a lot of camping and cooked toast using a wire frame (or metal coat hanger) over an open flame. The flavour is quite different than you get with an electric toaster.

Something I've always wondered about. Do the English toast only one side of bread?

I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear​

I like my toast done on one side​

I know it’s called grilled cheese sandwich but I like to call it cheese toast because technically nothing is actually grilled so “grilled cheese” is a bit of a misnomer.

It's grilled.

Definition of grill (Entry 1 of 2) transitive verb
1: to broil on a grill
also : to fry or toast on a griddle

This is the definition I found.

Most people in the food world won’t view cooking something in a pan as being grilled in a literal way.

A 19th century style toaster that you put on some burning embers. So it is like a grill.
