 @erininstereo @wikipedia sorry to disappoint, but I'm British and I'm only aware of this as an idiom rather than an actual meal someone would eat.  @gsuberland @erininstereo @wikipedia i invented it as a joke in about 2002, i don't know if i've still got the web page stored somewhere.. it was a very funny joke at the time  @mrsbeanbag As a poor student I enjoyed toast sandwiches. Lightly butter the toast and use salt and pepper. Lovely mouthfeel, cheap and filling.  @erininstereo @wikipedia Definitely not British. Never heard of such a thing until now.  @wikipedia I don't think anything other than English Wikipedia would have allowed this
@wikipedia I thought there were supposed to be editors to clean up this kind of nonsense! :p @Ragashingo @wikipedia It's not nonsense, it's a real historic food, or something like that! Very important. @raikas @wikipedia No, no. It's clearly spam! Ok, fine. Not actually spam. Because I'm sure actual Spam has its own entry. But “spam” spam. At the very least, it needs a huge [Citation Needed]... …’cause no real person would make a sandwich like that. :p @wikipedia That is why, as a continental european, i'm thankful for Brexit, LoL #WeirdBritCuisine  @wikipedia that photo is by Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics fame btw :) https://twitter.com/ryanqnorth/status/448803352240205824 @wikipedia "Well, a wish sandwich is a kind of a sandwich where you have two pieces of bread and you *wish* you had some meat. Bow bow bow... "    @wikipedia @HCBunny Wasn’t this invented in a Family Guy episode? https://youtu.be/Q5gv0ZjVAtA?si=Yb5iiYB_ThPEUITO @averagehousewife @HCBunny with the lack of protein/fat in it i’d never be full and would eat like 6 of them. I should state: I finally tried one accidentally in The Old Days, when high, as a product of not being able to get toast into me fast enough.   @wikipedia The middle slice may be buttered or may be not. Isn't there enough uncertainty in modern world? I need a definitive recipe! @wikipedia @fakeplastictree @ottaross I recently did a cartoon about the origins of the sandwich, if anyone is interested: https://www.historyshapes.com/featured/toast-sandwich/ -mert. |
@wikipedia Look, I already know this is a British thing, but even if I didn't I'd immediately know it was a British thing, just by looking at it. :blobcatglare:
