I was pondering one of those deep, life altering questions this morning during breakfast:
How do I eat my bread?
So I observed myself. I know that this is a very qualitative study with an n of 1, and that the data are skewed because the subject was aware she was being observed, and at the same doing the observing, but stay with me here.
When eating toast with raspberry jam, I first bite into the top crust, usually on the right-hand side of the bread (when looking at the bread in upright position, straight on) and then procede to eat around the bread in a counter-clockwise direction. I eat with a "save the best for last" philosophy. I eat around the bread, consuming crust and middle, until the last bite is some middle attached to that squishy bit right between the top and the sides of the loaf. That squishy bit is the filet, my friends. The very best part of the bread. Unless it's another kind of bread. Eating methods may need be altered depending on the type of bread. If it's banana bread, the top crust must be eaten last.
So I challenge you to self evaluate. Delve in and ask yourself the deep, life altering question: How do you eat your bread?

Toast: I bite off each corner, and then the middle, repeatedly until I finish. That way, I get the "best-for-last" feeling every third bite. :)
Non-toasted: I nearly always rip the top crust off and eat it first. I'm a bread-ripper. Especially if I'm eating it with soup.
Very thought-provoking. I wonder if it means something...
You are strange my dear.
We're like bread eating twins!
Hmm. I guess I have some investigating to do.
I'm a corner to corner toast eater my self. Let's say you take your toast and turn it into half square triangles. Each triangle would then be subject to having 3 corners. I would then proceed to devour said toast from one of the two corners that are furthest from each other to the other corner.
I'm with daredevil when it comes to non-toasted. I'm a ripper.
That's my yin to yang on the bread/toast technique.
