Anyway, here's a few fun facts I found online about toast. All sources will be linked. Let's get to it then!
1. The word "toast" comes from the Latin word "tostare" which means "to toast".
2. Contrary to unpopular belief, “toast” denotes any bread product that has been toasted.

3. Canadian neurosurgeon Dr. Wilder Penfield, while operating on epilepsy patients, discovered the “toast centre” of the human brain, which is wholly dedicated to detecting when toast is burning.
4. French toast, while delicious, is not true toast because it’s the eggy coating that is browned, not the bread itself. moreover it is typically prepared in a pan and therefore fried, not toasted.

5. “Soldiers” are the colloquial name for sliced strips of toast, commonly used to dip into boiled eggs but may also be covered with any type of spread and eaten as a less messy and cumbersome alternative to eating a whole piece of toast. The number of “ranks” depends on how many slices are made of the piece of toast, and it is commonly believed that eating the colonel first is bad for morale.
6. The process of toasting involves closely exposing a bread product to a source of radiant heat for a short time, causing the outer surface to crispen and thereby become delicious.

7. Bread was sometimes used as an offering to the gods in Ancient Greece. As well as being a staple food.
8. Why does buttered toast, always land butterside down? This “buttered toast” phenomenon is the fact of when the toast slips out of one’s hand, your hand is already at an angle. Therefore, the toast only does a half turn from your hand, most likely no higher than 6 feet meaning it nearly always results landing butterside down. This was first published in the New York Magazine back in 1835.
