Toast
Bizzare machine toast has been sampled by most people since, well, right after WWII or so. How many generations has it been since someone has had actual toast?

Buttered Toast
Buttered toast is very simple.
• Get a frying pan.
• Butter a slice of bread.
Okay. Cook that thing. Heat up the pan, put it butter-side down, and keep it there until toasted.
If one has dried and powdered some garlic, one can put it on before one butters the bread. If one has some herbs and spices one likes, one can sprinkle it on the butter. One can grate some cheese to a fine dust and sprinkle it on the finished toast, and retoast it, searing the cheese - it's pretty good...
Or, one can just choose butter. Or, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the butter.
Either way, this is actual buttered toast, instead of a simulation.
Toasted Bread
If one has an open fire, one can toast the bread on it... either risking slight burns to one's fingers, or using tongs. It's literally just daringly carbonizing and toasting it over a slight flame.
One can then butter it after it's been toasted... you know, by fire.
