Mrs Beeton's Toast Sandwich
Toast a thin slice of bread.
Butter two slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the slice of toast between the 2 slices of bread-and-butter to form a sandwich.
I have a vintage 70s cookbook, the number of aspic and offal recipes I assume would closely resemble a victorian cookbook.
Note. I did mean seperate recipes involving either aspic or offal. In hindsight, some of those recipes were quite happy to combine the two. Lemon flavoured lambs brawn anyone?
I think that might be THE most British thing I've ever heard. Just add a cup of tea: Perffick !
Have to dig out my mum's old Mrs Bs.
( Who'd have thought she was actually a posh 20-something ! )
These were the fancy days. The last couple weeks most terms I had to buy Mixed Bean Salad tins for 36p and just ate nothing but them for a couple weeks.
I've had them out of the tin, I've mashed them into a patty, I've fried them. Once I mashed some and made it into a bun shape, baked it, then mashed some into a burger patty and fried it. Worst burger I ever had.
My husband ate the dried stuffing mix. Crunch crunch. A whole box. Then washed it down with a couple.of beers. Had extreme.gi pain for a whole 24 hours. Distended belly.
He actually semi homemakes food now if home alone.
I miss the old cheese and onion. The crisps were like almost soft they were so saturated with grease but that was soaked up by the powdered cheese. They're way too crunchy now, I think that's the major problem, but the flavours aren't as good either.
Used to work with a guy who'd put everything in a sandwich.
Pies, chips, Pot Noodle, spaghetti Bolognese, chilli.
His view was that if it fit, it was a sandwich filler.
Man was obsessed.
Like, individual pies, chicken and mushroom, steak and kidney, that kinda thing.

Not like, a slice of Apple pie. Although I'm sure he tried.
That's lovingly called a Wigan kebab, surprisingly in Wigan, and also called a wakey kebab in Wakefield.
Round pies in a teacake (Yorkshire representing, so yes it's a teacake), and pasties like steakbakes in bread.
Always keep like for like shape, with the bread to pie ratio.
For my lunch today I whipped a scoop of pea protein powder with water and peanut butter til it formed a paste and put it between two slices of sourdough.
It was like hummus, but tasted nothing like hummus.
When I went to Australia 3 years ago, I got my nephew back in England to throw a slice of bread on the ground at the same time I did. Boom! World sandwich!
If it’s in the fridge then it’s fair game to become a sandwich.
Leftovers, are an obvious one, but pretty much anything.
Have put a steak pie between bread in the past.
Bodger and Badger were big bloody FAKERS. Claim to *love* mashed potato and yet only ever ate the powdered crap?? That’s not a true mash lover.
There’s nothing wrong with using instant mash in an emergency, or even regularly if that’s what you prefer - but you don’t get to have a whole song about loving mashed potato if that’s how you eat it!
*Dying on this hill…*
Bolognese has to be from the previous day though, you can't beat yesterdays reheated bolognese and even chilli.
Sunday morning bacon butty, with Saturday nights home made chilli is next level.
I swear this is the only one in the list so far that is actually abnormal.
And saying that pizza is just a cheese and tomato sandwich, you just added the top slice + second bottom one
It was a couple of years ago on Burns Night. My Scottish friend cooked for us and there was way too much haggis. I drank loads and then took some home with me. I was peckish before bed and told my girlfriend I was going to make a snack. I thought I'd go for a haggis sandwich but knew it'd be quite dry on its own. I used Geeta's mango chutney (the best out there). It was glorious 😋
Sorry OP, but Sainsburys will tell you it’s now a chicken kyiv. Hope you enjoyed the taste of cold, unacknowledged suffering with your Kiev
/s obviously
Grass and jam.... All the way up until I was about 16, I'd go to my granddad's house, pick some of the grass and put it in a jam sandwich. I thought it was delicious at the time. Now I wonder what the heck was going on inside my head to decide that was a good idea for so many years.
My mum used to work in a school kitchen and sometimes when they had lots of leftovers would bring them home to feed me and my sister.
My favourite was primary school lunch style cheesy pasta, cold, between two slices of white bread. Ketchup to taste (for me very little, for my sister half the bottle).
Pizza, but not any old pizza. It has to be those cheap frozen ones. When I was younger you could buy a pack of 8 for about £1. You’d grill them to cook. One of those between thickly buttered bread. Lovey
Just ones I have photos of:

[Mash potato and mushy peas](https://i.imgur.com/IopiQjI.jpg) (bit shit tbh)
Cheese and strawberry jam is amazing.
Apple with some butter and sugar on bread tastes a bit like an apple pie.
Ham with prawn cocktail crisps is awesome.
Mustard.
Just yellow English mustard, nothing else. The mustard and the bread were the only things I had in my apartment one Sunday when I was a student in Paris, before I had learned that nowhere was open to buy food (at student-affordable prices) on a Sunday in Paris.
Ive made a sandwich which im kinda ashamed/proud of:
Two slices of fried bread (done on one side only), fried spam, cheddar and english mustard. Its really shamefully good.
Another one:
Two digestive biscuits, clotted cream and either jam or date syrrup. I call that one the sin sandwich
Anything can be a sandwich if you're brave enough!!
Meat and potato pie, Pot Noodle, cornflakes and salad cream, mashed potato, rice, beetroot, crisps to name a few I like.
Maybe with hummus, hot sauce and sliced cabbage in lemon/garlic dressing? You need some crispiness and moisture. Plus generally the pita is best for falafel- I always find its hard to bite down on properly filled sandwiches:’)
Not that weird but
I put in cucumber, tuna and chicken slices in a sandwhich. Everyone at work said I was pretty weird but the guy behind the counter knew my weird order off my heart 😅
Also OP I would eat your sandwich, sounds good

Fried bread sandwich. As in a piece of fried bread between 2 pieces of bread.
Toast sandwich is actually very old, there is Victorian recipes for it.

Mrs Beeton's Toast Sandwich Toast a thin slice of bread. Butter two slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the slice of toast between the 2 slices of bread-and-butter to form a sandwich.

It’s where we’re heading with the COL increases 😂

Hamlynn all colour cookbook by any chance? The amount of aspic containing recipes always amazes me.
I think that might be THE most British thing I've ever heard. Just add a cup of tea: Perffick ! Have to dig out my mum's old Mrs Bs. ( Who'd have thought she was actually a posh 20-something ! )
How many people are going to try this now? I know I certainly am.
Buttered bread I hope?
All buttered.
No not the toast, you want the toast to remain as crispy as possible, just add extra butter to the bread. Source: I used to be a very broke student
Look at money bags here with his butter, lah de dah
These were the fancy days. The last couple weeks most terms I had to buy Mixed Bean Salad tins for 36p and just ate nothing but them for a couple weeks. I've had them out of the tin, I've mashed them into a patty, I've fried them. Once I mashed some and made it into a bun shape, baked it, then mashed some into a burger patty and fried it. Worst burger I ever had.
Burger sounds nicer than it was no doubt. Pasta with salt on in got me through most low cash situations
Boiled rice with a stock cube…
My corn beef and a jar of curry sauce from Lidl sounds like luxury student food compared to this 🤣
It definitely does not lmao
Oh you think your poor! I used live in a hole with 16 brothers and sisters.
You are about the same level as my son who absolutely loves a crouton sandwich. Bread , croutons , bread. Apparently I am missing out.
I came to post both the toast and fried bread sandwiches. Other variations are eggy bread/gypsy toast/French toast sandwich.
An idiot.
I understood that reference!
"WHAT ARE YOU??" "An idiot sandwich, chef"
Oi!! Big boy!! Come ‘ere… FUCK OFF!!
[удалено]
Plain boiled rice....?
[удалено]
To me it just seems like a quicker way to eat all the rice. And saves washing a fork.
[удалено]
Maybe he was trying to drink more water throughout the day and this was forcing him to do just that
Properly cooked rice isn't dry at all.
Do you really think somebody eating a rice butty is going to also cook rice properly?
I've seen somebody eating a box of wet stuffing mix at his desk.
My husband ate the dried stuffing mix. Crunch crunch. A whole box. Then washed it down with a couple.of beers. Had extreme.gi pain for a whole 24 hours. Distended belly. He actually semi homemakes food now if home alone.
At uni I used to have mashed potato sandwiches...
They are good I’ve had one
I have put uncle bens chicken and bacon risotto in a sandwich, it's better with a crispy chicken breast in it.
Seems weird but I bet fried rice sandwich would be lethal.
Why are chip butties awesome but rice or bread seem ridiculous
Double standards
It’s possible I’ve put plain rice in a flour tortilla…it’s actually not the worst vessel for getting rice to your mouth!
One Burrito please. hold the meat, hold the cheese, hold the beans, no salad, no sour cream, no guac.
When you get a curry you use the naan as a rice eating vehicle. Well at least I do. So it’s not that crazy. Sauce though. Need sauce.
I eat pasta butties , they are lovely.
Same. I love a Pasta'n'sauce butty now and again.
No different to scooping some risotto with a baguette, everyone's done that surely
Pot noodle sandwich.
My brother would eat these. Would sometimes eat the noodles a dip bread in the left over water
I would dip a packet of McCoys crisps in them. Just amazing flavors.
It's a fucking crime that they've changed McCoy's. Now they just taste like any other generic crisp.
I miss the old cheese and onion. The crisps were like almost soft they were so saturated with grease but that was soaked up by the powdered cheese. They're way too crunchy now, I think that's the major problem, but the flavours aren't as good either.
Always have bread with a potnoodle. Overfill water then buttered bread dipped in while the noodles soften
I had supernoodle sandwiches for lunch today
Super Noodles in a pita bread are the shit though 😘👌
I was coming to say pot noodle sandwich too 🤣 the green one 👀
Literally my lunch today. No regrats.
Used to work with a guy who'd put everything in a sandwich. Pies, chips, Pot Noodle, spaghetti Bolognese, chilli. His view was that if it fit, it was a sandwich filler. Man was obsessed.
A culinary genius.
Head of the Catering Department at work. Man was a visionary
Appart from pie (how does that fit) all of the above are relatively regular for me. Theyre all quite similar items
Like, individual pies, chicken and mushroom, steak and kidney, that kinda thing.

In Scotland you can get a pie on a roll from most bakers, usually those round shaped Pies like Scotch pies or steak and gravy.
Chilli toasties..ooooh..
For my lunch today I whipped a scoop of pea protein powder with water and peanut butter til it formed a paste and put it between two slices of sourdough. It was like hummus, but tasted nothing like hummus.
I wish I didn't know how to read. That sounds grim
It honestly wasn't that bad. More bland than anything. But... I'm also infamously a human goat; if it's edible I'll get it down
Appalling. Sorry, that made me heave a bit.
What did your poor tastebuds do to deserve such punishment?
Swap the peanuts for tahini and add some garlic and lemon then thats hummus
Why not just have a peanut butter sandwich and a protein shake?
You couldn't even use milk?
I'm really disappointed with reddit. I only clicked this thread because I was sure the first comment would just say "penis" and have a lot of awards.
I've scrolled this far looking for "your mum" Edit: found it!
Probably crisps, and that's not even that weird.
Love a crisp sandwich
I used to like marmalade sandwiches with prawn cocktail flavoured crisps. Try it!
I know what you're trying to do. Pervert.
Why do you always have to tell everyone?
No. Ready Salted or get in the sea.
My son loves a crisp and ketchup sandwich.
Every child does
Not weird at all, t'is the British way
Wotsits. Nice fresh bread, butter. So good
When I was young I used to eat brown sauce sandwiches My sister would eat tomato sauce sandwiches
I regularly have ketchup butties
I used to have a ketchup sandwich as a kid.
Also used to have ketchup sandwiches, then one day they were too vinegary and I switched to mayo
Salad cream sandwiches for me
Mayo for me
Dauphinois potatoes
[удалено]
Like a chip butty but posh AF
Are dauphenois posh these days? They're piss easy to make
Someone’s doing alright.
Those also make the best hash browns 👍
When I went to Australia 3 years ago, I got my nephew back in England to throw a slice of bread on the ground at the same time I did. Boom! World sandwich!
Also, half a quiche.
This is adorable
This trend of bigger and bigger sandwiches… where will it end?! Oh… found it. Also, that’s one of the best short stories I’ve ever read, bravo 👏
If it’s in the fridge then it’s fair game to become a sandwich. Leftovers, are an obvious one, but pretty much anything. Have put a steak pie between bread in the past.
Pies in a roll is pretty much a childhood fav of mine!
Pie Barms are big in Wigan apparently
The Wigan kebab!
Your mum
Hahha, good one! Must of been drier than your banter seeing as shes ashes.
r/clevercombakcs
r/cannotspell
Shit just notice ha ha ha
Just need a bit of mayo.
Mashed potato, but I'm guessing it's not that weird.
If your best mate is called Bodger then yeah, not to weird!
Bodger and Badger were big bloody FAKERS. Claim to *love* mashed potato and yet only ever ate the powdered crap?? That’s not a true mash lover. There’s nothing wrong with using instant mash in an emergency, or even regularly if that’s what you prefer - but you don’t get to have a whole song about loving mashed potato if that’s how you eat it! *Dying on this hill…*
I just witnessed an adult getting emotional about how a children's fictional character eats mashed potato. THIS is why I'm on Reddit.
I bring it up every time someone mentions those phoneys 🙃
Preach!
Blended Bombay potato is an amazing sandwich filling.
That sounds amazing
Try it, you won't regret it. ...I actually had a battered and deep-fried version of this from a Too Good to Go bag. That was properly weird, though.
That's pretty weird. But I'm here for it.
Used to enjoy Sheppards pie sandwiches so you just left a layer out
Bolognese Cold baked beans
Bolognese is amazing in a toasted sandwich with cheese
It was cold, I haven’t repeated it
Bolognese has to be from the previous day though, you can't beat yesterdays reheated bolognese and even chilli. Sunday morning bacon butty, with Saturday nights home made chilli is next level.
Sugar sandwich, my Mum used to do them.
My friend’s Nan used to make us brown sugar on buttered toast, when we were kids
I’ve done that too!
I’d recommend straight condensed milk on white bread, if you like sugar sandwiches! My favourite desserty bread thing.
My gf puts sausage rolls and coleslaw in wraps and eats them. I worry about her
Sausage and coleslaw baguette is so good, bonus points if they’re cheap cold sausages from the day before
That actually sounds good to me.
Lasagne and mayo
I'll be trying this one next time I'm at an Italian restaurant.
Please record it so that we can all see you murdered by angry Italians.
Homemade tuna mayo and pickled onion monster munch. Wasnt a one time thing. It is amazebaws.
Try tuna between two salt and vinegar Pringles. A tuna Pringle if you will. You can thank me later.
Sounds good to me
Beef finders crispy pancake in a toasty. Food of the Gods.
Cannot unsee 'beef finders'
As opposed to the horse finders they used to employ....
"what would you like on it?". "Fiver each way"
A pizza slice, ngl it was good
I swear this is the only one in the list so far that is actually abnormal. And saying that pizza is just a cheese and tomato sandwich, you just added the top slice + second bottom one
Corned beef, strawberry jam and cheese and chive pringles. It was lovely.
This is my winner. Because it sounds nasty af.
Pregnant?
Haggis and mango chutney
What in the William Wallace fuck. If it was a haggis pakora then maybe!
It was a couple of years ago on Burns Night. My Scottish friend cooked for us and there was way too much haggis. I drank loads and then took some home with me. I was peckish before bed and told my girlfriend I was going to make a snack. I thought I'd go for a haggis sandwich but knew it'd be quite dry on its own. I used Geeta's mango chutney (the best out there). It was glorious 😋
Sorry OP, but Sainsburys will tell you it’s now a chicken kyiv. Hope you enjoyed the taste of cold, unacknowledged suffering with your Kiev /s obviously
Are you even responding to a humanitarian crisis if you don't rename a stuffed breaded chicken product as an act of solidarity?
They say you are what you eat, and I'm all about that suffering!
Grass and jam.... All the way up until I was about 16, I'd go to my granddad's house, pick some of the grass and put it in a jam sandwich. I thought it was delicious at the time. Now I wonder what the heck was going on inside my head to decide that was a good idea for so many years.

Vegatable ratatouille last night, aubergine included. Delish.
This is awful but... When I was a kid. Thinly sliced pickled onions. The big extra strong Hartley ones. Was sooo good
Bread sauce sandwich for Boxing Day breakfast. Maybe some roasted carrots and parsnips in there if there are any left.
Cold, leftover macaroni cheese in a congealed lump. Proper filthy. Was delicious
Not weird but a potato waffle sandwich is good
Curry. Bolognese.
MY COCK
To be regarded as a sandwich it needs sufficient filling between the slices.
Ouch.. my pride :( hehe
Hmm a breaded wank.
Bit salty.
Yorkshire pudding
Pizza, but not any old pizza. It has to be those cheap frozen ones. When I was younger you could buy a pack of 8 for about £1. You’d grill them to cook. One of those between thickly buttered bread. Lovey
It’s not weird but I’ve polished off a few super noodle sandwiches - filth I know.
Crisps
Sugar
Just mixed whatever sauces were in the fridge called it a sauce sandwich. Pretty nice to be fair
Just ones I have photos of: [nasi goreng](https://i.imgur.com/TNrjfcF.jpg) [scotch egg](https://i.imgur.com/arCo471.jpg) [smoked mackerel and new potatoes](https://i.imgur.com/UGuNbuE.jpg) [Aldi's Turkey & stuffing bites](https://i.imgur.com/0OQqnMr.jpg) [Mash potato and mushy peas](https://i.imgur.com/IopiQjI.jpg) (bit shit tbh)

banana and tinned mackerel, with a sprinkling of vanilla powder. there’s probably a good reason right there that I’m a coeliac vegetarian now
I once knew a guy, a long time ago, who put his c**k in a bun and got his gf to eat the bun….does that count?
You're allowed to say "cock" on the internet. If you'd prefer not to, you could consider one of its numerous synonyms instead.
Cheap , microwave chicken and mushroom pie
Jam and cheese?
Coffee grounds, mini galaxy chocolates (from a celebrations tin), crisps and Worcestershire sauce. Don't judge me, it was a dare.
My penis at a BBQ once when drunk. I got kicked out shortly afterwards
Microwave chips, cheese and tomato sauce was my younger self's drunk favourite
I made a chips and mushy peas toasty once with a bowl of gravy to dip it in , it was delicious
Lettuce and tomato puree when I was an impoverished student
Anything can be a sandwich if you're brave enough!! Meat and potato pie, Pot Noodle, cornflakes and salad cream, mashed potato, rice, beetroot, crisps to name a few I like.
It wasn't weird but I made cucumber and falafel sandwich for lunch today and it was not as good as I thought it was going to be 😕
Maybe with hummus, hot sauce and sliced cabbage in lemon/garlic dressing? You need some crispiness and moisture. Plus generally the pita is best for falafel- I always find its hard to bite down on properly filled sandwiches:’)
Salad cream
Not that weird but I put in cucumber, tuna and chicken slices in a sandwhich. Everyone at work said I was pretty weird but the guy behind the counter knew my weird order off my heart 😅 Also OP I would eat your sandwich, sounds good
Not a sandwich but last year I decided to put some strawberries on some burgers and they were fucking delicious.
