I still do this. I save easily $200/month eating it 3 days a week. Pro tip: the bread and bologna at Aldis is S tier and with the right addons and seasonings it’s a fantastic light meal.

They refused to use the spices, not the brown people.

Uh, your average breakfast in the U.S. was basically a shitload of protein and potatoes in the 19th century. Idk about you but I definitely like pork, oatmeal, fried potatoes, eggs — with a couple pieces of toast that's all I need in current year.

Not a Brit but I would add the different pies/shepherd pies etc to that list. But really I don't think you can not count the imported cuisine because I do love getting Indian, Caribbean, etc when I'm there. Even Italian TBH you can get some nice pizza (but not quite like Italy obviously).

I quite like Yorkshire puddings.

But I agree, British cuisine is pretty beige in vibe

Didn't the US have pasta in jello?

By 1930, there appeared a vogue in American cuisine for congealed salads, and the company introduced lime-flavored Jell-O, to complement the add-ins that cooks across the country were combining in these aspics and salads. Popular Jell-O recipes often included ingredients like cabbage, celery, green peppers, and even cooked pasta.[10]

For a while, I was toasting sandwhiches by stacking the top bread piece under the bottom one with topings on top of it. You end up with a sandwich (with actual sandwich toppings) just toasted on the inside and soft on the outside.

I love the texture just like I loved putting plain potato chips between two pieces of bread. Soft then crunch.

First appeared in an 1861 cookbook, target for this was sick people. Would be easy to keep down, carbs and fats to nourish more than just a broth.

Ive had it a couple of times, for a laugh, while broke as a joke. Only just discovered that i didnt invent it though.

It's strangely tasty.

Tried it when I first heard about this and somehow the crunch and the butter work really well with the untoasted bread.

Someone made this after discussion here or on reddit, I can't remember, and said it was surprisingly good.

In my 5 decades of Britishness I've never ever heard of a toast sandwich. And for one and a half of those decades we were so poor that we sometimes had sugar sandwiches just so we wouldn't starve.

But, yeah, I'd give it a go. Hell, I may even have one today.
