"I am a food upon your plate,
When you partake of me in dawning light.
Yet I become a drink inside your glass,
After dinner time at night."

The word "toast" comes from the Latin word terrere "to burn". One of the first references to toast in print is in a recipe for Oyle Soppy's (flavored onions stewed in a gallon of stale beer and a pint of oil.) from 1430.
In the 1400s and 1500s, toast was discovered or eaten after it was used as a flavoring for drinks.
In the 1600s, toast was still thought of as something to be put into drinks. In his 1602 play "The merry wives of Windsor", (William) Shakespeare gives Falstaff the line: "Go fetch me a toast me a quart of sack, put a toast in 't"
Toast has been used as an element of American haute cuisine since at least the 1850s.
