I mentioned a couple of times recently (here and here) Texas Toast, and Lynn asked me what it was.

It’s really just regular bread cut thicker than usual, called Texas Toast, I suppose, because of the cliche that everything is bigger in Texas. Ours is almost gone, as you can tell.

Here I laid it beside regular bread to compare. I’ve only seen it as white bread, never whole wheat or lite or any other of the myriad varieties of regular bread. It’s usually not on the racks with the other breads but either on a table near there or in the grocery bakery.

Melli said she had only seen it with garlic butter on it. I’ve seen it that way, too, but usually laid out on a tray. Zaxby’s serves it as toast (with just the right amount of butter and toasting. Scrumptious!) And I think Sonic’s serves it as the bread in their toaster sandwiches, but I’ve never tried one. Unfortunately we don’t have a Sonic’s near here (but I want one!!)

It makes for really good cinnamon toast!
