Smeg actually makes a toaster. It's expensive, looks cute, and doesn't work that well when compared to a far cheaper toaster oven.

This applies to most Smeg products. Which is a shame, they used to be really good and long-lasting.

I can't speak to their quality, but every time I see their name, I wonder about how they're received in England: Americans might generally be unaware, but "smeg" as a name doesn't land well there, as I understand it.

A UK comedy called RedDwarf used variations of smeg as a mild expletive quite liberally. When asked some of the producers claimed they made it up to get around broadcast rules, but most people think it's a shortening of smegma.

Aaaah, so you're a waffle man.

No. I don't want no waffles. No toast. No crumpets. No scones. No smegging heated bread products of any kind.

So, do you want a slice of toast?
