All my relatives have to bring a bag of paper shop rolls on every visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially nothing but a shower head and a bit of glass in the corner of the room, particularly those with a gap underneath just to help flood the room even more. The term "wet room" is very apt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit that this puts me in the OFTW category, but I used to be quite partial to severely burnt toast, allowed to cool, with butter then applied. You can't put the butter on while hot, this is important. I would still have it as a treat, but the missus goes on about cancer etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder to spread and it won't melt into the toast which is a large part of the benefit to adding butter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is harder to spread, but if you do it hot the burnt surface of the toast mixes with it and it goes black and manky. Also it sinks into the bread. You have to treat this snack as a totally different concept to hot buttered toast, which is a completely different delight. With cold burnt toast the butter is spread on, but remains separate and distinct to the bread. 5 minutes ago, NorthernJambo said: Right, ignore the cold burnt toast, ignore the butter, what's this about toast and cancer?

Shotgun Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The cold/flu/Ebola that I've been fighting all week has now turned into a sinus infection of biblical scale. Seriously considering chewing off my own head just to get some relief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 A toaster makes a great substitute for a lighter so I can see the link between toasters and cancer. Always feels satisfyingly caveman-like lighting up off the toaster elements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've actually never had a well-fired roll. I like burnt toast though, so I reckon I'd like them. I tend to get those morning rolls that newsagents and so on stock. The ones with quite crispy tops and a decent chewy texture to the bread. You don't seem to be able to get a decent roll from a supermarket. Well fired rolls are fantastic now and again. You need to find a good bakers or newsagents that does them. Just like a morning roll with a nice fired top to add a bit of extra taste. Supermarket rolls do tend to be rather poor in comparison, but sometimes they're okay. 'Well-fired (burnt) rolls' are weird. Why would anyone want deliberately burnt food? They're not burnt right through though. Well, the good ones aren't. Just a nice char on top. Right, ignore the cold burnt toast, ignore the butter, what's this about toast and cancer? I fucking love toast... Aye, there was some bollocks on the news last week that some experts reckon we all need to stop eating toast especially if it's burnt, because we'll all get cancer from it. We'd eat fuck all and die of starvation if we listened to these experts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
