The Toaster That Always Burns
This one slice, one shot toaster is a rectangle of thin cardboard impregnated with charcoal chips, dipped in wax and folded in a U shape. | |
Stand the toaster on its flattened base in the middle of a plate, insert a slice of bread between the sides, turn down the lights and put a match to the fuse. The toaster flames up briefly before its embers glow for a minute.
This magic moment is over when the bread falls over. Brush off any benign
ash, spread butter on the warm, crispy, golden surface and enjoy.

Naked flame, you say? [+] |

FJ you're my hero, but if you read my 'Obituary Channel' idea its been a bad day for my heroes. Gotta bone ya mate. [-] Unless you do a brill illustration. |
|

[-] for the nauseating second
paragraph. |

Mmm, lapsang souchong bread. |
|

baked?
I think the first toast ever made was probably made with real-live fire instead of electric resistance. This just adds a disposable / highly consumptive element. FarmerJohn usually does better. |

I've made toast over a fire before. It feels wholesome. |
|
| |
Maybe if it was a thin plank of cedar or
something. I'll have to think about this
idea more before I give it my vote either
way. |

[etherman] Nobody bribes the farmer. |
|
| |
[jutta] Think candle lit breakfast. Think sunset or rainbow. I think sometimes a piece of white/whole-wheat toast with just butter can release myriad taste sensations of yeast and grain(s). |

[sophocles] I’m probably more environmentally conscious than you. Even some of your electricity is produced by coal and gas. No, the farmer doesn’t usually do better. This is about average – my best for the moment. |

FJ - I wish you knew my mom! |

The Farmernator will be back. |

[po] I fear she's too old for me but tell me what she does. |
