Etymology

The term 'toasted' originates from the Latin word 'tostus', the past participle of 'torere', meaning 'to turn' or 'to roast'. This practice of toasting food can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where bread was often toasted over fire to preserve it and enhance its flavor. In the Middle Ages, toasting became a popular method in European kitchens, especially in England, where it eventually evolved into the use of specialized appliances like the toaster in the 20th century. The cultural aspect of toasting also extended into social settings, where toasting drinks became a way to honor health and good fortune. Today, toasting remains a fundamental culinary technique enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide.
