Description:
Toast is most commonly eaten with butter or margarine spread over it, and may be served with preserves, spreads, or other toppings in addition to or instead of butter. Toast and jam or marmalade is popular. A few other condiments that can be enjoyed with toast are jam, chocolate spread, peanut butter, yeast extract, such as Marmite in the UK, New Zealand and South Africa, and Vegemite in Australia are national traditions. Others toppings include mayonnaise, honey, and cream cheese. Some sandwiches call for toast to be used rather than bread; with the BLT being a prime example of this.
Toast is an important component of many breakfasts, and is also important in some traditional bland specialty diets for people with gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea.
In the United Kingdom, a dish popular with children is a soft-boiled egg eaten with toast 'soldiers' at breakfast. Strips of toast (the "soldiers") are dipped into the runny yolk of a boiled egg through a hole made in the top of the eggshell, and eaten
