Nonetheless, that's not the usual version. The traditional version is hot milk with buttered toast broken into it with a little salt and pepper added. It's pretty much the same thing as oyster stew except, instead of slimy oysters in hot milk, you eat wet bread in hot milk.

And far from being the sickening dish this disrespectful woman would have you believe, it was once a medicinal food favored primarily by two groups sick kids and drunks who were going to be even sicker in the morning if they didn't get some milk toast down them before they went to bed.

It was the tipsy midnight gourmets who normally ordered it by its restaurant jargon name graveyard stew. I don't know the derivation, but it probably had something to do with the late hour it was eaten, as in the graveyard shift.

One of the more insensitive women in this office was making disparaging remarks about a ridiculous dish her husband eats all the time. And I was inclined to laugh along with her until I heard what she was running down:

Milk toast. Or "graveyard stew," as it was known in the better greasy-spoon restaurants of its era.

She said her husband is always eating bread and cold milk.

That's not quite milk toast, but this is still a free country so he can eat bread and cold milk any time he likes, whether she approves or not. Nobody is holding a gun on her and making her eat bread and milk.
