"Quintessentially British" things on toast

[Blue3]

kidneys on toast is something that always reminds me of a great British breakfast

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.

I actually posted a photo of this very dish I ate a few months ago in the Restaurant thread. I was certainly comforted but didn't feel the urge to sing Rule Brittania.

Soft boiled egg, toast with real butter cut in to soldiers, the Today programme and a cup of tea.

Though, being a member of the liberal European elite I often swap the tea for black coffee.

I'm with you to a tee, (although not tea).

Cowfold Seagull still loves EU (you). See what I did there?

I've seen mince served up with fried bread rather than toast and very nice it is too.

agreed. also cheese on toast with tomatoes sliced and worcester sauce

Quick search on the internet reveals this to be an Australian / New Zealand thing.

Mushrooms on toast. Bit of pickle on the side. Does it for me.

Poached Eggs, slightly runny, on buttered toast.....Nice.

My SWISS-GERMAN housemate at uni used to eat mince sandwiches for lunch.

It's actually pretty nice, but in no way a British classic.

Scrambled eggs on toast, plenty of salt and pepper and some parsley and a black coffee is my go-to post run breakfast. I think it's British but not sure.

Oh come on, nearly two pages and nobody's mentioned LEMON CURD !

Strangely, that actually looks quite nice. If I ever have any chilli or Bolognese left over, I may try this. But definitely not British.

Ketchup
Egg
Mushrooms
Sardines
Cheese
Toast

Slightly burnt as the top of the pile always gets a bit too close to the grill flame.

My choice is beef dripping with salt and pepper and a thin spreading of marmite if there is none from the bottom of the dish on it..

Everyone should try tomato paste on warm white buttered toast. This could change your life forever!

Strawberry Jam
Poached Egg on Marmite (Maggie Thatchers favourite)
Grilled Tomatoes and Avocado
Sardines and Worcester Sauce
