"Quintessentially British" things on toast

[SUIYHP]

Melted cheddar cheese with HP sauce Shirley is the definitive English toast topping?

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

I was wondering how far I would have to go through this thread before I found Kidneys mentioned.

Here's a great recipe for you (although he uses fried bread)


Also love a bit of Buck Rarebit too:

Sorry, English Mustard is the best for this.

Whoops, got my sauces mixed up! Yes, Lea and Perrins is the 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.

I made a pavlova in a microwave over the weekend having read about it and used 4 egg whites so had 4 yolks left and the beat way to use them was to add some milk and make scrambled egg for brekkie

Sardines for me.

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

HP does the same job

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.

Isn't this what our American cousins call a loose meat sandwich? (As made famous by Roseanne Barr and John Goodman?) If you add another piece of bread on top of course..

Any form of egg on toast is immeasurably improved by liberally spreading Marmite on the toast and placing the egg on top.

Mrs KK endured something similar as a child; her mum called it "steak royale" I believe....

Yep and preferably devilled. Yummy
The give away that you're in a proper British country house hotel is kedgeree, kippers and devilled kidneys on the breakfast menu, the latter on chunky farmhouse brown toast.

Hmm a lot of horrible wartime food cropping up but I might try the old egg n marmite idea

Mrs Jakartas Saturday breakfast in bed is Toast with a liberal amount of HP Sauce, baked beans, a crisp rasher of bacon and a fried egg.

If I do the same for myself it will also have few mushrooms and a tomato but that is because I'm a greedy pig...

Always get a bit homesick reading these sort of threads. My favourite is scrambled eggs on toast and I've tried a few places in NYC but not really had much luck, so do my own. Marwoods in Ship Street takes some beating for theirs. For some reason the Yanks are obsessed with French Toast, bread soaked in milk and beaten eggs then fried, which I find fairly disgusting.

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.

Very much THIS

Never heard of this and whilst it sounds pleasent, there's nothing British about it

The England World Cup football team. Someone told me that they were toast.

Hated that "French Toast."

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.

Exactly, a fried egg however, would work wonders on the top.
