Really?

None of the bread we have is "rectangular".

I was ignoring the curve at the top

The point I was making is that it isn't square, but has one dimension
longer then the other

and IME

the long dimension won't fit in the toaster whichever way you try

It obviously depends on who makes the bread. A "sandwich loaf" from our
local baker is 115mm x 130mm. Not far off rectangular and will go in our
toaster either way round.
