What is "toast"? It is bread--which has been browned (sometimes blackened) by the thin red coils within our toasters.
So why is it given a completely different name? It's still bread. The food has not changed.
Giving it a totally different name suggests that it's become something else entirely...
That it's metamorphisized from one food product into another. Just because it popped up from a boxy, electric machine!
We don't call eggs that have been fried, "Fried", or scrambled, "Scrambled" They're still eggs. [Scrambled eggs, sunny-side-up eggs]
So why isn't it called "Toasted bread"? Too long to say?
Well we make the extra effort with eggs!
