My father's father always wanted toast or bread, I forget which, with dinner. In a time when white bread was the thing to do and we generally had Rainbo bread (cheap version of Wonder Bread) my mother would splurge when Nana and Papa came to visit: it had to be whole wheat. Roman Meal was the thing then. As I recall, we children felt rather put-upon after Nana and Papa left, because we had to put up with that whole wheat bread until it was gone! All our tastes changed sometime in the '70's or '80's.
Dad also wanted toast, or maybe just bread, with his dinner. It never caught on with the rest of us, except for garlic bread with pasta.
For my darling it must be toasted so he has some crunch, as well as something with which to sop up sauces. I do quite as well simply collecting the sauces on the meat, pasta or vegetables, thankyouverymuch. 😉
