Hubby once took an expensive cooking class. The chef burnt the dish then said that is what makes the dish French. So now if it is burnt – “It is French! ha ha !” (said with the Jacques Clouseau accent )
Dad always said it would put hair on my chest. So do I blame it or genetics for having a chest and back that looks like it belongs to a low land gorilla.

That’s not “burned” — it’s extra-extra crispy and toasty! d;o)

That is a really horrible, and potentially lifethreatening, lesson to pass on …

Sure. Once you eat it, you know not to eat it anymore, which you didn’t know before.

My mother’s toast – burnt black then scrapped to a golden brown. She always told us the charcoal bits were good for us.

“Charcoal aids the digestion.” Is what I’ve heard.

Not sure if it is a cultural thing? Never heard that one, either. And how are people giving Hector and Carlos these stories? I’d like to submit a few!

Burnt food can make the cook smarter, if he has enough sense to not repeat the actions that burnt the food in the beginning.

My Mom used to say the crust was the most nutritious part of bread. I don’t know if she believed that, or she just wanted us to eat ourbread crusts.

My mom used to say the burnt parts help clean out your insides.
