“It is impossible not to love someone who makes toast for you. People’s failings… fall into insignificance as your teeth break through the rough, toasted crust and sink into the doughy cushion of white bread underneath. Once the warm, salty butter has hit your tongue, your are smitten. Putty in their hands.”
- Nigel Slater, Toast: The Story of a Boy’s Hunger (via ignobel)
