Only if it comes from an Einback! Signed, an American with good German language knowledge and missing cultural knowledge who had a bunch of trouble getting toast initially in Germany. I was told in a restaurant to go to a bakery if I wanted toast, and was then very confused when I was given a loaf of untoasted white bread.

I get it now, but English words that mean different things in German just felt unfair at the beginning.
