Sounds delicious imho
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.

Fairy bread without butter?
Wasn’t this like midwar bombing rations when things got bad or something?
Funny enough, a lot of popular food today was invented due to a food scarcity with people forced to make due with what they had on hand.
Bread sandwhiches were popular in the US too when they got the machines to refine grain, and remove the endosperm from the outer coating of the seed where all the vitamins are, they would put a slice of white bread from that processing inbetween two pieces of coarse bread from the whole grain.
Mmm…bread.
Even better, butter the outside too and fry the toast in it. Melts in your mouth! Makes a lot of smoke in the kitchen, but melts in your mouth.

It’s essentially the same.
They even have it pre-made.

Carbs are good for a hangover if anyone wonders why most British foods are full of carbs.
What even is jove
Edit: okay this one’s complicated. It’s like saying “holy shit” (“oh my god”), but you’re Roman and saying “holy jupiter(the god)”, but you’re also English and it entered popular usage through Shakespeare, and you’re also from before it became “by george”…Or something… Tldr it’s old Latin and jove=jupiter
Don’t knock it until you’ve been on rationed flour for several years
Fry your flour in butter.
Also rationed.
Somebody is a texture eater
Tikka Masala is pretty fuggin’ good. And you lot did invent Worcestershire sauce. Oh, and your packaged snacks? Hugely better than the crap we get in the states. But you can have Mushy Peas.
Worcestershire sauce was a recreation of an Indian sauce by a pair of English men.
Tikki Masala was invented by a Pakistani chef living in Scotland.
Technically both British creations, but I feel like it’s hard to list them as fully British in origin.
Kind of like chop suey, there’s nothing Chinese about it.
Nothing more Bri’ish than colonization, innit?
you guys remind me of a girl I used to work with who would always mock “white people food,” except that to her that really just meant “poor white people food.” It’s not gourmet, but sometimes all you have is fucking bread.
Mustard crackers are the bomb if that’s all you have in the fridge.
If all you have is bread, you should try eating it rather than fucking it, though.
You have to be really hungry before you eat the fucking bread

Plenty of delicious struggle meals if you get creative, half of “popular” cuisine stems from them. Spanish cocido and tortilla de patata are a few examples of well-loved affordable struggle meals.
I feel like this would be pretty good. Toast is pretty good. So you just make some good toast and then you sandwich it between some fresh soft bread. And then you have this soft outside with a crunchy buttery caramelized toast inside, I think it could be good if you were craving some toast and wanted to jazz it up.
A cracker tastes good when you’re starving.
I’ve made it out of curiosity. It tasted like buttered toast with pepper. Honestly pretty good
