Milk toast

     No milk toast but mom made what I remember as really good corn bread we ate with milk and sugar for breakfast and lunches sometimes. Can remember a neighbor having cornmeal mush for supper a couple of times when I was over hanging out with their son when I was about 10 yrs. old. Sometimes we didn't have a lot of fancy food but we always got filled up.

Two pieces of toast no butter broken in pieces in a bowl. Pour hot milk over it and add cinnamon and sugar.

Same here and with corn bread as well.
Crumbly cornbread in a glass of milk👍

If one of us kids on the farm complained of a sore throat so bad it was hard to swallow, milk toast was all you could get down sometimes. Toasted good and crisp, milk poured over it on a dinner plate.

Milk toast was Mom & Dad’s go to for anyone with Mumps. Those mumps made it difficult to chew & swallow normal food.

Of course the toasters back then seemed to have one setting - burnt!! Many a breakfast mornings, my brothers & I could be found scraping burnt toast into the trash can. Yeah, it might burn, but like others have said, “nothing was wasted.”

All bread heels, stale bread, etc went into bread puddin, wif raisins, cinnamon, sugar and shredded coconut.  Man that was breakfast or dessert worth fightin over...

Used to have bread tore up in a pot of hot milk .Mom called it amish soup

Ah, milk toast! It's a classic comfort food, isn't it? I remember having it as a kid too, and it always seemed like a warm and cozy meal, especially on chilly mornings or when I was feeling under the weather.
It's interesting how food preferences vary from person to person. Some love milk toast, while others may not be as enthusiastic. I can understand why Jenn might have passed on trying it.
By the way, have you ever considered using dry whole milk for your milk toast? It can be a convenient option to have in your kitchen, providing the creaminess of milk without the need for refrigeration. Plus, it's versatile and can be used in various recipes.

we used to make milk gravy with boiled egg whites in it and serve it over toast or biscuits and then shred the boiled egg yellows over that.

Use to fix a double batch of Corn Meal mush - tggggggggggggggg (cat on keyboard)
Eat part for breakfast - then put leftover into a load pan and put in frig 

Yes, That was what mom fed us if had a bad sore throat.

I’ve made a lot of fried biscuits.
