Default I have a question, unfortunately

Has anybody ever heard of Pepperidge Farm's "Texas Toast?"


I just made some, pretty good.

However, upon using my AF instincts, I did a little background on such product and realized that Pepperidge Farm is indeed located in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Why would they call it Texas Toast then? Why not Connecticut Toast?

Because everything is bigger in Texas. Texas Toast is a thicker slice of bread than a regular slice.

So it really has to do with the style of cutting the bread, not where it's from.

Texas toast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Texas toast or garlic toast is a variation on garlic bread made from thick slices of bread that are buttered on both sides and grilled until lightly golden brown. Depending on the recipe, the butter may have seasonings such as garlic. There are various products marketed as 'Texas Toast' in stores around the United States of America that are devoid of garlic, butter, seasoning of any kind, or application of heat to induce a toast status. These products are essentially thick cut bread, often with a longer diagonal cross-section than typical 'Wonder-Bread' type products.

A slice of Texas toast often accompanies homestyle meals. Texas toast style bread, because of its thickness, is often used by restaurants and cafeterias for dipping into egg batter and grilling on a flat top grill to create French toast. The crust is much softer than French bread so it is easier to cut when eating. Its thickness allows it to hold together better than regular bread making a much more attractive presentation when plated.

I used to work at a different print shop in CT and we made all the Peperidge farm packages. If you pull the bottom flaps of the bag or box open you'll see a little logo of two rollers and a sheet of paper that=Amgraph.
