'Toast Rack'

...apparently 'a device for holding pieces of toasted bread upright, to keep them crispy.'

This raises two questions:

1 - don't Americans have toast racks? I'm sure I've seen them in US hotels.

2 - how fucking thick are they? 'toast' + 'rack'... how hard is it to work that one out???

Do you leave your toast sit around

for awhile before eating it? I always use the toaster and then just eat it. I guess I understand though. If you get busy and your toast lays flat, the bottom gets soggy.

I'm with you...

in fact the only places I ever see toast racks are in hotels... presumably because they do leave it around a while before you get it.

Toast Rack?

Actually, here in the states we have toasters, which I believe would be the equivalent to your toast rack, and then we have the toaster oven, which is good for toasting bread and heating up tv dinners. It's like a mini-oven and it's about as big as a microwave. If you were to just speak of a toast rack, I would think you would be talking about one of those two.

By the way, not all Americans are "fucking thick". Some of us, in fact, can be quite intellegent when we want to be.

a toaster is not the same as a toast rack

you take the toast out of the toaster and place it into the rack until it is required for consumption, my dear sir.
