A toast to toast in popular culture
Toast: it's everywhere! Whether it's enjoyed as a light mid-afternoon snack, in bed with a cup of tea, or as part of a complete breakfast buffet, toast is an indispensable part of the breakfast landscape. There's something inherently soothing and fundamentally satisfying about a slice of good toast, which explains why it's so popular, and why popular culture is steeped in references to toast.Just this last December, the BBC released their critcally acclaimed drama 'Toast' starring Helena Bonham Carter. The movie is a heartwarming coming-of-age drama about a young lad named Nigel, and his desire to pursue an interest in the culinary arts. Billed as the “ultimate nostalgia trip through everything edible in 1960's Britain”, the movie takes its name from Nigel's mom's inability to cook anything beyond toast.
