    This in turn reminds me of a description I read in a review - I think - in Q magazine in the 1990s of an American book about the Beatles, which glossed "toast" as "a Liverpool snack made of cooked bread". It's so good I wonder now if it was a joke, but I don't remember it being presented that way.
