"Quintessentially British" things on toast

Buzzer · Jul 10, 2017

When we talk of cheese spread are we referring to Boursin rather than Dairy Lea? If so I can go with that but otherwise it's no, no, no. Dairy Lea isn't for spreading. It's a side thingy to go with your ploughman's alongside the real cheese.

I tried this once with my toast. It's not half as nice to eat as you'd imagine.

I don't know about 'quintessentially British' but I vaguely remember eating it (without the salad leaves) on odd occasions - probably (as in the case of an earlier poster) when the mince is a leftover. Tasty enough, especially with a dash of Worcester or Soy sauce.

Is that a very thick piece of toast, or a very small plate?

Mince on a jacket potato, yes; mince on toast? No.

And please drop the "salad".

Marmite, Marmalade and Beans.

Have been known to finish off last nights spag boll or chilli on toast the next day but would not consider making it like that from scratch, certainly not a British classic.

Caviar on tiny pieces of toast washed down with bucks fizz.

What manner of nonsense is this!? How can you introduce a FRENCH cheese, into a list of 'quintessentially British' toast toppings!?

Looks like an eastern european breakfast.

I thought East Europeans...in fact most Europeans...just eat cheese, bread rolls and spicy sausage for breakfast. None of them seem to have heard of the idea of cereals with cold milk.

I never said Boursin was a British classic, just that I could quite happily eat it on toast. Anyway, Boursin comes from Normandy and that used to be English.

Remind me not to invite you to my next dinner party.

I tried the biscoff one with similar results.

Palace on toast would be my favourite.

Think that's the kind of thing I'd want to put my fag out IN. If l smoked of course, which l don't.

Seriously, I do like a bit of Gentlemans relish, but, I can see it's an acquired taste.
