Cheapest meal in the UK
 
Another reason not to trust British cooking. :D



Quote:

Britain's 'cheapest' lunchtime meal was unveiled by scientists on Wednesday - the toast sandwich.
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is reviving the mid-Victorian dish, which, unsurprisingly, consists of two slices of bread around a slice of toast.

Yes a TOAST sandwich, (toasted) bread in bread. Ok with butter and pepper.

Even worse than the chippie sandwich the latter of which I've tried and is not too bad-but boy both are carb nightmares. :dead:

It could be worse, the KFC Double Down comes to mind. :Kaleun_Sick:

How dare you slate the great chip buttie, also the toastie (or toasted sandwich) is a staple of uni students (or was when I was at uni).

Can't honestly say I've ever had such a toastie....mine always have a filling eg cheese and onion :hmmm:

A chip buttie is never complete unless it is accompanied with lashings of Heinz Salad Cream :sunny:

Could just do a chip buttie right now, but instead I have cheese on toast...can't win them all. :haha:

Don't worry guys, I've just had a fry up and thought of each and every one of you whilst eating it. :up:

Surely a cheaper meal than a toast sandwich is, err, toast! :hmmm:

And in figuring out the costs nobody seems to have mentioned the cost of the 'leccy. :nope:

Bah, I remember the days when you could get a loaf of bread from the Happy Shopper for under 80p, should be so lucky now. :damn:

Happy Shopper, like it's distant cousin Happy Eater, is/was never ever cheap!

Just recently one of our villages shops changed over to Mace, which used to run the corner shop when I were a lad (before that became something like Today). I don't have happy memories of that place either, was much better in the hands of the old guy how ran it before selling out!

My goodness I'm grumpy today. Need my Hog fix tonight. :D

Scotish cooking is even worse though, the deep fried donner kebab comes to mind.

MH 11-17-11 12:07 PM

Toast in pita could be cheaper :haha:

The Chef at work cooked up a couple of Haggis sausages the other day for me, now that was some good stuff, but yeah we talked about Scottish cuisine and the Deep Fried Pizza :doh:

Reminds me of a Wish Sandwich.

A wish sandwich is where you have two pieces of bread and wish you had some meat.
