In a rush to get around in the morning, sometimes the most important meal of the day doesn’t go according to plan.
With the stress of getting your kids up and ready for school and making sure you’re ready for the work day, along the way there are the occasional food casualties. Rather than popping that perfectly browned slice of toast from the toaster, you’re left with a charcoal-colored brick that could be used as a deadly weapon. Or perhaps your home fries are looking a bit overcooked.
In most cases, you don’t have enough time to redo your cooking faux pas and end up eating your mistakes anyway. However, as a new study from the U.K. is warning thousands of home cooks, when it comes to toast and starchy foods, we should go for the gold standard.
A new campaign introduced to the U.K. by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) is urging the cooks in your household to “Go for Gold” when it comes to starchy foods.
