Sorry - but you are wrong. If you ask for ´tost´ in a Turkish restaurant/lokanta or bar you are asking for a toasted sandwich NOT a piece of toasted bread. I suppose it´s possible some cafes may use ´tost´ for ´toast´ though because maybe they think some foreigners can´t cope with something as complicated as ´kizarmýþ ekmek´

the sentence was ´I eat a toast´. What turkish you saw eating just a slide of roasted bread?! Its absurd! Its about a meal not something like popcorn

Single slices of bread are toasted and consumed by Turks, usually as a part of weekend breakfast rituals.

They taste good and it is a good way of using up the stale bread left overs, collected through the week.

 

Note: an average Turk has almost a spiritual respect for bread. People try to consume bread to its last bit in an effort to avoid its wastage. You can rarely see stale bread in waste bins.

´I eat a toast´ is not correct English - this is because the original poster is not a native-English speaker - and this is the sort of mistake often made.

 

I never saw a Turk eating a slice of roasted bread, this is true - but as bread toasters can be bought in any supermarket or electrical store here, I assume many Turks do eat toasted bread or kýzarmýþ ekmek.  Scalpel certainly does! (addition: I just saw Alpha´s post and obviously he knows Turks who eat toast too lol)

 

And considering the rest of the post included sentences like ´I eat a toast with jam and butter´ - he/she is most definitely  not referring to a meal.

Not if one recognises sarcasm when one sees it - but, point taken.  However, if you knew me you would know I certainly have no problem with my Turkish friends
