This mum’s daughter found a new way of eating honey on toast and your mind will be blown
All these years we’ve been eating toast, occasionally – actually, quite a lot of the time – with honey on.
And all these years it turns out we’ve been doing it wrong, according to journalist Jane Merrick’s daughter.
I’m sorry to be this parent again but I made honey on toast for my daughter today and I noticed she was eating it upside down*. I asked her why and she said because the honey hits your tongue first, before the toast. Mind. Blown.
*the toast. She’s not a bat.— Jane Merrick (@janemerrick23) September 26, 2018
And it’s not just her, it turns out. Did it strike a chord with people? Did it heck. Here are some of our favourite responses.

Same with chocolate eclairs: must be eaten upside down. 🙃

I really feel like I’ve been missing out

Hit on it about 50 years ago. My dad always ate that way. Logical.

Surely this is too messy – doesn’t the butter and honey drip? Mayhem

It was runny honey but probably spread thinly enough. I don’t know, she seemed to manage it

It’s genuinely this sort of creative thinking we teach out of kids. “don’t do that it’s silly /weird /not usual” it’s always a nice reminder that kids are often smarter than adults 😁

Our two-year-old does the same with her jam on toast. Apparently it’s what they did in the war to make the most of the bit they had…

My daughter does that with pizza, for the reverse reason. She likes the idea she’s eating the bread base, not a cheese based product
