In Search of a Few Crumbs

Abstract

Nick Parker started off writing a humorous book about toast, but fears that he may have opened the breadbin on something very much darker. Please feel free to unburden yourselves of your toast prejudices by writing to him at <[email protected]>. Information about and references to the early origins of toast and toasting are particularly welcome. [I have already told him of the modern locus classicus, John Thorne’s cogitations in a past issue of Simple Cooking. Ed.]
