I’m partial to a variety of exquisite food. Be it Michelin stars of the 1 , 2 or even the 3 rated. However sometimes all you need is a piece of toast slathered in a good 2mm of real butter (not this artificial bollocks). Well done toast, allowed to rest so the well salted butter does not melt. Then chose your weapon of taste and apply a slather of something. My go to has generally been one of the following Beans, with a dash of Worcestershire sauce Crunch peanut butter with strawberry jam Patum peperium gentlemen’s relish for that fishy umami hit Seville marmalade Marmite Today I was persuaded by a good friend to try the following combination, it is a little left of centre (bit like myself). However it gives a good hit, the saltiness of the butter mixing with the umami then nicely balanced by the subtle sweetness. It was an absolute flavour sensation MARMITE and MARMALADE on toast So now I’ve opened the door what’s your go to for a toast topping? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Beans on toast for me: Heinz Chilli Beanz on 4 slices of well browned toast without butter (so it stays a bit crunchier) Four rashers of well cooked bacon, with grated cheese on top, under the grill to melt it Usually have this for tea on a Wednesday, wife says I’m stuck in my ways…… When she is away on holiday, I have this every other night interspersed with the chippy.

Im heading round Bill's on Weds from what Ive read so far... yum!
I'll add - Cheese and strawberry jam with a bit of chilli... tho ive not had it for years.
Ive recently been making a poor mans tartare sauce with a chopped up dill pickle and some capers in some good mayo (Siracha Kewpie for me), add a bit of lemon if you have it. can use just chips or fish if you have it and even works well with boiled egg slices for an off the wall idea.

Real butter and Marmite on evenly browned toast is beaten only by the same treatment on a Warburtons crumpet. That's a whole level higher on the taste sensation scale!

Agree toast has to be left to cool. I build a pyramid to allow it to cool or you end up with condensation and a soggy side.lol. sardines in tomatoes sauce with sliced tomatoes hoes down well. Or 4 slices and a bowl of beans with cheesecmelted into it in the pan as it heats. Not on the toast as it goes soggy. Toast needs to stay crunchy. Anyone who doesn't mind soggy toast should be dragged out back and given a damned good thrashing

A cheese and marmalade sandwich.
It needs:
Good, fresh crusty white bread, you can toast it, I prefer not to Salted quality butter not watery supermarket crap A mature cheddar, I favour the salty ones Weirdly, supermarket own brand marmalade.

Caviar but on french toast. Swilled down with a bottle of Bolly. Non of that Michelin star pish in this council house. And if you must succumb to butter.....french butter.
Or one of my own preserves.... Strawberry jelly, pear jelly, medlar jelly (different), marmalade, manmade marmalade, crab apple jelly. And the usual jams strawberry, black and red and white current, damson (one of my favs), bilberry, blackberry ect. Recognising setting point is the key. The whole process is a bit like eye of newt wing of bat, cant really explain it. Ive got the hang of it through years of doing it. Other peoples recopies dont always work, you get a feeling for it. Give 10 people the ingredients for a cup cake and you will get 10 different cup cakes...

Nobody for honey?
Strangely I don't spread it on toast much, I usually use it for sweetening tea and don't want to consume too much.
(Not that "honey" from supermarkets which isn't honey at all, the bees are fed sugar syrup to produce it instead of them foraging for nectar. It is devoid of the beneficial elements in proper honey and tastes shit too)

I do like honey get from a local bee keeper, it’s my go to sweet spread. Sobrasada it’s a Spanish spreadable chorizo perfect for toast with a drizzle of honey over it. Spectacular.

Honey!
As my dad was a beekeeper(and now I am as well), I grew up with honey as the go-to sweetener in our house.
On ice cream, waffles, pancakes, in tea, coffee, on pizza, etc.
… and yes especially on toast.

Today I made Japanese Shokupan bread, toasted with a thick spread of ripe avocado, then topped with tuna poké. Fcuking outstanding. 🔥
FYI: Poké is a Polynesian raw fish (usually tuna or salmon) salad, often also containing onion, scallion, garlic, soy sauce, furikake, sriracha, etc. popular in Hawaii, where I currently am.
Sofa king good.

Today I have been mostly eating jam butties (Warburtons finest sliced white and no butter) Tomorrow is a treat....beef dripping.

Hipsters? No they are poisonous... one bite and I'm dead! First time I tried them as a youngster (trying to be what I'm not....) it touched my lips and was like being hit by a bus...
Now back to my frappe and oiling my beard....

![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) So your idea of a snack is "toast" then? My idea of a snack usually involves bread (toasted unless very fresh) with something on it. Could be simple as butter, or as extravagant as your imagination allows. Almost always starts with TOAST.
