"Popular in Texas and its bordering states, Texas toast is generally served toasted as a side with southern-style dishes such as chicken fried steak, fried catfish,or BBQ.Texas toast can also be used when making toasted sandwiches."

What the hell? I eat that *kitten* with lasagna

    We eat it with baked pork chops/chicken, red beans and rice, and green beans. We also eat it when I make spaghetti, or any other dinner where I want toast. It's my 7 year old son's "Favorite Toast".

    We can buy "Texas toast" in supermarkets in Australia.... I just think it's white sandwich bread sliced super thick (is that right?)

    In my part of Canada "Texas Toast" is thick cut white bread covered in garlic butter (both side)

    That sounds like the free bread they would serve you at Sizzler.

    It's kind of like that chain restaurant, "Texas Roadhouse." Originated in Idaho or someplace like that.

    well you wouldn't really expect a restaurant with a theme to originate in a place where that theme is just called "everything."

    I'm IN Texas, have lived IN Texas all my life, and have traveled over much of Texas. Other than frozen dishes in the Wal-Mart and grade school lunches, I've never actually encountered this mythical thing called "Texas" bread which can be toasted to make "Texas Toast". Even the iconic Texas brand of Mrs. Baird's is now a Mexican Senora of the Bimbo family.

    A little story: Some years ago we traveled to a tiny ghost town in the panhandle of Texas for a family reunion among some branch on my wife's side. It was held in a high school gymnasium, and on the walls of the gym were photos of every graduating class of the past 100 years. In no year did they have more than 2 dozen. Anyway, the entire brood of Baird children had graduated from that school early in the 20th century, and I remembered seeing Vernon Baird in his own television commercials extolling his mommas bread. It was a bitterly sad day when the City of Dallas forced the Mrs. Baird's bakery along US-75 to close in the name of air pollution. At the time, I was driving a car with no A/C and working an early morning shift. I'd drive by the bakery while the 'pollution' was at it's most wonderfully intense with my windows down. Such real joy that was.
