Watching this movie I saw the Fab Four eating prodigious amounts of toast with tea. Whole trays fulls of the stuff. Couldn't tell if there was anyone on the toast ... butter or jam.
shareSomeone please explain British toast to me, the kind that isn't served hot out of the toaster and covered with melted butter as well as other things?
Toast served in racks is dry and crunchy, I see no melted butter, and I can't see why anyone on Earth would want cold dry toast when they could have the good kind of hot toast with melting butter.
British toast is exactly the same as toast everywhere on earth, I promise you. Why do you think we eat it cold and dry?
Tea and toast is my default hangover breakfast
I assume the toast is cold because it's served in racks, which not only take several toaster-loads of bread to fill, they are an efficient air-cooling mechanism. Toast should be eaten as close to just out of the toaster as possible, not stuck on a rack until ten more slices of bread are done!
shareYeah the toast rack is probably antiquated, not seen one for years. Must have led to some accidental eating of cold toast
Erm is this still moviechat?

shareWhat is the consensus on toasting brown bread? The move of a sociopath surely...
shareWhat kind of brown bread? Dark rye? Whole-grain or "wholemeal"? Pumpernickel? That stuff that comes in cans?
Most kinds of brown bread are great toasted, except for that canned stuff, which should be fried in butter.
Too many lading questions about brown bread. I do not know enough to engage. Bread comes in cans?!?
shareThere's a kind of American brown bread that comes in cans, it's called "Boston Brown Bread" and it's old-fashioned but can still be found.

It's a dense, slightly sweet bread with raisins in, and is probably a variation on an old British steamed pudding like Figgy Dowdy. If you fry the slices in butter, the result is quite good.
Farmhouse white is best. Wholegrain / seeded can provide a decent alternative if buttered nicely. However, yes bog standard toasted brown bread is very poor...
shareSome people like dry white toast, some like it with butter, jam or anything they want on it.
I prefer just plain butter myself.
It's not true to say that most British people prefer plain toast though.
The Beatles were English. Alll born in Liverpool
shareThe Beatles were all of Irish descent - except George Harrison who was actually English - the only one.

Americans think if you wear something green, that makes you Irish.
They have no idea how much the Irish laugh at them.
I appreciated George saying that he had been dead hungry and had a huge breakfast as an excuse for turning up late then directly proceeded to start munching on a piece of toast!
A clear power playing two fingers up to Paul...
