Drank milk straight from the cow as a kid. I always liked burnt toast and my wife gets upset still when I have smoke in the kitchen and the vent on high most mornings when I make toast. I have a eight year old grand daughter who likes it too.
I hope I live that long too although I got more than 30 years to catch up with your grandfather.

Yes, I burn two slices of bread each morning. Burnt is a great taste. My grandfather would put a piece of bread on an asbestos plate on his gas stove and burn it, turn it over and burn the other side. Great stuff. I always order burnt toast when I eat breakfast in a restaurant - I tell them to burn it until the smoke rolls. Usually they are good about it but one restaurant told me no, they wouldn't do that because the other customers might be concerned about the quality of the food they serve.
I use to stop at a Tim Horton's all the time and order a well toasted bagel. I would send it back if it wasn't at least brown. The owner came out one day yelling at me and said he wasn't going to wreck his oven toasting my bagel. I told him not to advertise toasted bagels if he was just going to warm it up and not toast it.

My mother would eat it for indigestion. Also chew ground coffee. there were several doctors in her family 100 + years ago and some of them, the chiropractors, used a host of herbs and other remedies. The great uncles who were not doctors possibly promoted the herbs and remedies as much as the doctors did. Some of them actually worked. At a family gathering all expressed their views and remedies.

When I was about four I went with my uncle to milk cows. Two cats sat against the back wall and my uncle would give them each a squirt from four feet away. So I squatted down next to them and got my shot as well. He didn't get my face wet. Didn't want to di it as I got older, but we always drank raw milk.

No burnt toast! Can't even stand it a little brown...
May have something to do with a bad kitchen experience when I was about 5 years old. My mom was bed bound recovering from surgery, dad was gone to work. I was trying to make my breakfast. We had a toaster that was known to burn toast if not watched. I had pulled it to the center of the counter top so I could reach it, that put it right under the edge of the upper cabinet door. Put the bread in, got distracted, forgot about it!
Next thing I remember, seeing the kitchen full of smoke, the toaster on fire, the cabinet door smoking black... That was the most frightening moment of my young life!!!
I just knew I was in BIG trouble! No way to hide this... Guess I was forgiven, didn't get evicted or beaten! But I can still remember the smell of burning wood, burning toaster, and above all, burned toast! LOL
Not for me! Like mine very rare!

No burnt toast for me. Lightly tanned is just about right.

The wife teases me about my toast - she says I should just breathe on it a little. I want just the slightest hint of tan. Anything more and it goes in the hog bowl. When I have a BLT I don't even toast the bread. It tears up my mouth.

My Dad loved burned toast covered in peanut butter and cane syrup.
notjustair- Toast tears the roof of my mouth up! BUT....
The only time I can enjoy a BLT is when freshly ripened tomatoes are picked from my garden. I don't eat BLT's otherwise.
Although, the taste is out of this world! The roof of my mouth is raw meat and then add the high acid content from the 'mater. My mouth almost swells shut. I still love to eat them though, but only when my 'maters are in season.

I'm not taking sides, I eat it dark brown on rye or wheat bread. But thousands of years ago 35 was a ripe old age! Jim

I like my toast pretty dark but not burned. I toast my bread on one side for my hamburgers. I like that much better than a bun. We buy that 9 grain bread with the pieces of sunflower seed. It gives it a nutty taste.
Eating any burnt carbohydrates helps with this condition. Knowing this might have saved a lot of cholera victims in the past. That, and boiling all water before it was consumed would have helped to prevent it in the first place. When ever you come down with a case of the squittles just burn some toast and eat it. If you don't want to eat anything, scrape off the burned part of the toast and mix it with water.

My wife loves her toast burnt to the point where any restaurant doesn't burn it enough for her.
