So, What is the General Consensus on Toasts?

[jnevin]

I don't really like speaking in front of a crowd.

 

[blueta2]

I like mine with jam

 

[the_clockwork]

strawberry jelly is what I like.. no butter

 

[jnevin]

Jam is good. My grandmother makes the best.

 

[Gambino]

rye bread, you can't go wrong

 

[the_clockwork]

i buy mine from the store. jelly not jam. what's the difference?

 

[jnevin]

rye bread, you can't go wrong

Good jewish rye with raspberry jam.

 

[Gambino]

Good jewish rye with raspberry jam.

catholic rye with protestant spread? dammnnnnn

 

[blueta2]

Whole wheat with home made strawberry jelly is the best. Jelly has no pieces of fruit and jam has huge chunks.
Rye makes me gassy

Or maybe a good kinish (sp?) with a halaal(sp? again) curry.

i dread the best man wedding toast
that's big time

 

[Faizakafez]

egg bread is sick.. i forget the exact name its got a shiny coat on the outside yellowish tint on the insie and it taste sweet!!!

I never drink without toasting my company or eat without wishing whomever my dining companion is a good appetite... How I was raised.

The toast I use is simple but sincere. "Long life, good health, happiness and the strength to weather the storm." or some variation thereof.

If you are talking a wedding toast for heavens sake, stay away from the totally irrelevant "Good luck." In those cases I wish the couple - "kindness, patience, friendship, lots to talk about once the sheets stop rustling... but no mention of love... For love is what you find along the way. So when we are here again toasting your 20th wedding anniversary, God willing, and you still look on each other, speak to each other and treat each other with kindness and respect then we will sit and listen as YOU TELL US what love is."







And I LOVE pumpernickel w/butter.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Also can't beat sourdough.






Or if you like, a nic goat cheese with grape tomatoes with the little rye toast crackers accompanied by a good but inexpensive merlot. YUMMY

Definitely. Especially at a big wedding.

 

[the_clockwork]

I was a best man at a wedding once.. I had to make a toast

it brought people to their knees and tears in their eyes

 

[Faizakafez]

we dont do toasts but i did a speech at my sis's wedding this past weekend

 

[jh1]

Definitely. Especially at a big wedding.

I was nervous to do those.

with my job now though, I have to give presenations in from of rooms of 50-100 peeps on a pretty regular basis - and they get technically interactive with the audience - where they sometimes try to nail you on super technical issues.

So, I'm over it.

Give me a stage, I can't be embarassed anymore.

 

[jack sparrow]

Speaking in front of crowds or at meetings never bothered me...it's one on one that really freaks me out.

 

[TheValley]

Don't get too tipsy and say it like you mean it....with passion and excitement!!!
and no stupid stories that make you or your friend sound like a drunk ass.
Good times....only.......good memories!!

I used to do a lot of first time homebuyer seminars and was fine with it. I don't have problems giving a speech or do any kind of Q&A workshop, I feel nervous when it's people I know, for some reason. I'm guessing it should be the opposite, but whatever.

 

[jackangel]

always, ALWAYS start off a bit of public speaking with an ice-breaker.

for example: ladies and gentlemen, i regret to inform you that i have just contracted HIV out in the hallway. HIV can lead to AIDS. now let me tell you a story about ned...

I think my good looks disarm 99% of the peeps.

Work on that, you're in.

 

[jerkbox]

actually, I'm a toast master
