    Bread sandwhiches were popular in the US too when they got the machines to refine grain, and remove the endosperm from the outer coating of the seed where all the vitamins are, they would put a slice of white bread from that processing inbetween two pieces of coarse bread from the whole grain.

    Even better, butter the outside too and fry the toast in it. Melts in your mouth! Makes a lot of smoke in the kitchen, but melts in your mouth.

      I tried the fabled beans on toast and i was shocked when I bit into the toast that there was butter on the toast. It was a dumb thing to be shocked at but I did not expect it 😂.

      That being said, it looks really stupid in person because it’s literally toast with a ton of beans. Taste wise, it was ok.

      Worcestershire sauce was a recreation of an Indian sauce by a pair of English men.

      Tikki Masala was invented by a Pakistani chef living in Scotland.

      Technically both British creations, but I feel like it’s hard to list them as fully British in origin.

    I feel like this would be pretty good. Toast is pretty good. So you just make some good toast and then you sandwich it between some fresh soft bread. And then you have this soft outside with a crunchy buttery caramelized toast inside, I think it could be good if you were craving some toast and wanted to jazz it up.

    It was invented for a “cheapest meal” competition if I recall. If someone really made this, the inside bread would be drowned in something with several insane flavours. Probably Branston pickle.

      I can understand the appeal of a piece of bread that’s been soaked or buttered or even just toasted and salted. I bet that’s delicious, if done right.

      My question is, why the other two slices of bread? What’s the thinking there? Why not have three slices of delicious middle bread? If the bread is good enough on its own, why not eat it alone?

      It’s like if you made a drink of tepid water by adding ice cubes to a glass of warmed water and then letting them completely melt until room temperature. Who is this recipe for? “Oh, but maybe the ice cubes are flavored” OK then why freeze them before melting them? “Maybe the hot water is flavored with herbs that rele-” Bitch, that’s tea.

      I’m so confused, I’m getting mad at imaginary arguments I’m having with hypothetical morons about analogous situations that only exist in my head.

        The middle bread will be saturated in fat, crispy, and spiced heavily.
        The outer breads are dry, fluffy and neutral-tasting.
        You need them for the same reason you need them in any sandwich.

        Texture. Crisp sandwiches are the closest thing I can think of but crisps cost a lot more than a slice of bread.

  • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah, it’s filling and I would like to see you come up with better for £0.06 a meal.

      I have not seen bread this cheap anywhere.

      • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨35⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

        Aldi, to be fair food was a bit cheaper when I was living on £600 a month, around 2017. Like £0.34 for about 20 slices. I think it is more like £0.45 now for the cheapest loaf of bread.

        source
    • mech@feddit.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I dare say potatoes are cheaper than bread.
      And you can turn them into a more filling, more nutricious and better-tasting meal with nothing but salt and vegetable oil.

      • plyth@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        That’s why toast with crisps is the more popular food.

        With energy prices in the UK being what they are, it’s only raw potatoes that are cheaper than bread. At least toast toasts quickly, so isn’t that energy-intensive compared with boiling a pan of water.

      People did all the time when they first started making white bread. They would put a piece of that inbtween two pieces of coarse whole grain bread. It doesn’t sound palatable now because our palettes are so corrupted with sugar. Well, yours presumably are.

      Because you toast the middle piece, and butter it.

    It’s oddly good. To do it right use unsalted butter and then add season with salt and pepper once the butter is melted.
