"Quintessentially British" things on toast

[The Clamp]

Agree. I never wanted to be one of those expats who goes home with a suitcase full of tea bags etc but that’s what I’ve become. Piccalilli, Colmans mustard, bacon, cream crackers all go into my luggage.

My brother does the same. You have to have the basic luxuries sorted or you may as well be on army rations.

Almost forgot, what could be any more British than soft Herring Roes on toast ?

 

[looney]

Tinned Sardines in tomato sauce, smoked Mackeral are good on toast, as well as cheese or scrambled egg,

After Christmas I brought back 50 rashers of bacon, 20 lemon grass stalks, 3 bottles of hot sauce, harissa and sumac. Wish I'd brought more .

Paul Young in his finest

Can't say I do mince on toast often but I do like mince, peas and onions with sliced buttered white on the side.
Strong cheddar and piccalilli is my favourite on toast at the moment.

mmmmmm... piccalilli, combined with beetroot and corned beef, now i'm in love

Hell no, It has to be Cayenne Pepper on top washed down with a hot cuppa tea.

Once you start using it you find Cayenne Pepper goes with most things.

 

[banjo]

Boneless of course.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Marmalade? Without a doubt.
Cheese? Yep, every day of the week.
Beans? Loved it as a kid. Still do.
Mince?

Apparently this is a "quintessentially British comfort classic":

Anyone on here feel the stirrings of patriotism or feel classicly comforted upon seeing that photo? I've been British all my life and I've never once heard of this mess let alone eaten it.

That is quite vile, and looks like some made up nonsense, like craft beer, and skin tight trousers on men.

For me, (separately, not together) anchovies, cod roe, marmalade, melted cheddar and Worcestershire sauce.

... and what’s wrong with tight jeans on men. (Said in a slightly squeaky voice).

Excellent, Paul Young did some recording a while back, in some studios in Catsfield, near Bexhill.

Put it in a stew, gumbo for example, will blow your head off.

Mate, even cheese on toast, with a bit of tabasco sauce for a more even spread, works a treat.
Good for weight loss too apparanty...............

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Could you get more English, proper fried egg, proper black pudding and proper Bacon...

do they let you carry bacon even in the EU? Mine was Jaffa cakes and Monster Munch, and everyone else was bringing in Yorkshire tea and hairstraighteners (their was a randomly big mark up on the latter GDH or something)

 

[Weststander]

Sardines with sliced tomato. Beautiful.

Yes. Bacon is fine; never been stopped. The only issue I have had was when I was carrying a leg of ham, the bone showed up on the X-ray so they pulled me over.

Paracetamol and salmon are way more expensive here so these are popular with some Brits.
