My (autistic) NYE tradition: Begin playing The Band's live album "Rock of Ages" at exactly 10:51:33. At the stroke of midnight, Garth Hudson plays Auld Lang Syne.
That's getting closer to the actual origin. The Romans added toasted bread crumbs to their goblets, reducing the acidity of the often bitter wine. Thus the modern term. The Latin term “tostus,” meaning “to dry up" or "scorch." Which is not to say Romans invented the action, but where we get the word
The use of toast to refer to raising a glass in someone's honor comes from the fact that a slice of spiced toast used to be added to cheap wine to improve the flavor. The idea was that, just as the toast improved the flavor of the wine, the person being toasted improved the lives of those around them.
My nephew did this when he was a kid. He asked where the birthday cake was for Jesus during Christmas. It's supposed to be a celebration of his birth right? A cake makes sense. So we now get a very simple cake every year. Nothing custom ordered or even says what is for.
Irish butter, often called European-style butter, differs from American butter primarily in its higher butterfat content, richer flavor, and distinct yellow color. This is largely due to the predominantly grass-fed diet of Irish cows, which results in a butter with a higher concentration of beta-carotene and other beneficial fats.

Irish butter? How is that different from regular butter? You have my attention, sourdough toast is amazing.
