Regency Trivia – Toast

During the Regency, toast was a breakfast staple. It was originally a device to make stale bread more palatable, but quickly became a favorite food item.

Toast was made by spearing buttered, stale bread and toasting it over a fire. Unsurprisingly, special toasting forks were involved. Some of them were telescoping. If a servant was making the toast, he or she would would place the finished product in a toast rack to be served.
