"Quintessentially British" things on toast

[Buzzer]

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.

Marmite, obviously.

 

[Frutos]

Never seen or heard of it either - I had to click the link to even work out exactly what it was.

What the ****ing **** is that?

Looks like an eastern european breakfast.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Winner winner, chicken dinner



Lovely stuff, spooned out of the tin cold.

I feel neither patriotic nor comforted, merely confused. What the hell is it?

The closest I've ever seen / heard of / eaten, would be a tin of Heinz 'spaghetti bolognese', on toast. that would LOOK similar and have 'some' mince in it.

Cheese or marmite. maybe cheese spread. Maybe Chicken spread. Cottage cheese perhaps. But mince? No way.

 

[Bozza]

Even if it were quintessentially British, which it clearly isn't, it would lose all quintessential-ness by trying to tart it up by lobbing some green shit on top.

A classic. Obviously.

Whilst it may not be a British classic I must confess that I, er, quite often eat things like leftover chilli, curry or spag bol on toast the following morning.

Chicken spread? Cottage cheese? Cheese sodding spread?

This just gets worse.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Scrambled egg.

I think it's pretty British to put any food stuff between 2 slices of bread. That to me is more quintessentially British that that thing in the OP.

I quite like a bit of peanut butter on my toast of a morning. Smooth nowadays, but formerly crunchy, until it did my teeth in.

Eggy bread is nice on occasion too.

 

[Yes Chef]

Is it a northern monkey thing? I've never heard of it.

Anyway, Crab pate or Rarebit for me, or even Crab Rarebit

Loving the NSC food threads this summer....

Ah yes, the quintessential sandwich, invented by the Earl of the same name. Not exactly on toast though is it?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I'll admit if I have any left over spagboll I'll stick it on some toast the next day

Very strong cheddar cheese on toast with marmite
