What benefit is there to toasting bread instead of just eating it untoasted? If there is no benefit, how much electric energy is wasted on toasting in the U.S. of A., do you think?
The benefit of toasting bread is that there is a crunch to a sandwich. It also makes the bread stable for say an egg sandwich while eating breakfast, if the bread was soft it would flop over, thus the egg falling off the toast onto your lap.
