	The Loyal Toast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Loyal Toast is the first toast to be given at a formal gathering by the presiding person.
		The Loyal Toast, simply the words "The Queen," is used within the United Kingdom, and by expatriates, as the first toast after a formal meal - sometimes followed by the singing of God Save the Queen, the British National Anthem.
		U.S. usage of a Loyal Toast (not usually called such by Americans) is governed by similar protocol.

		I believe toast was the name of her dog, but as a forum for all toast types, from Gary Clail to the 3.40 from Towcester, it seems reasonable to mention the interweb-toast interface.
		Toast has always been something of a disappointment to me; between the extremes of carbon-fl dry toast (enjoyable for the sooty cladding it gives your tongue, and the near-comedic sonics of the munch) and the butter-saturated sogginess of lightly-tanned thickslice (all oozy and early-morning belly-filling), there's a vast realm of unsatisfying toast experience.

	Burns supper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However the formal suppers, which are often held by Burns clubs follow a standard format which is as follows.
		For instance dessert may be cranachan or Tipsy Laird (sherry trifle) followed by oatcakes and cheese, all washed down with liberal tots of the "water of life" – Scotch whisky.
		This is occasionally (and humorously) called the 'Toast to the Laddies', and like the previous toast it is generally quite wide ranging nowadays.

		Mr Harrington does not attempt to prove that the persons referred to did not drink the loyal toast, but he gently hints to them a way by which they can escape the censure they so richly deserve.
		It is a pity the Wolfe Tone Committee should so co-opt some men who propose and other men who drink loyal toasts, but after swallowing Mr Harrington’s nest of wire-pullers, it should easily assimilate a common or garden Alderman.
