Kathryn Report post Posted November 17, 2011 Exactly what it says, a slice of toeast between two slices of bread. According to Mrs Beeton it's the cheapest most filling and nutritious lunch you can have. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15752918 Tempted? Can't say I am. I used to eat apple sandwiches as a child though, which some people might consider a bit weird! K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to eat apple sandwiches as a child though, which some people might consider a bit weird! K x A toasted toast sandwich might be nice - a slice of toast between two slices of toast... Or what about a toasted bread sandwich: two slices of hot buttered toast with a slice of bread in the middle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted November 18, 2011 A huge resounding "NO" from me I used to be given crisp sandwiches sometimes - can't say I like them either - never had apple ones did used to have apple and cheese though (only done with a granny smith apple why this makes a difference I do not know but it did) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeolienne Report post Posted November 19, 2011 Reminds me of a poem by Kit Wright, If You're No Good At Cooking: If you're no good at cooking, Can't fry or bake, Here's something you Can always make. Take Three very ordinary Slices of bread. Stack the second On the first one's head. Stack the third On top of that. There! Your three slices Lying pat. So what have you got? A BREAD SANDWICH. That's what! Why not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eccentric Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Cheap? Maybe. But nutritious? Hardly. As a cookery writer, Mrs Beeton has always been hugely over-rated. According to her biographer, Katherine Hughes, the original book, Beeton's Book of Household Management, was written more to make money than to teach people how to cook.

Aeolienne Report post Posted November 22, 2011 The toast sandwich recipe is in the chapter titled "Invalid Cookery". As my mum said, poor invalids - what have they done to deserve this?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
