What do you put on your toast?

[Offshore Toon]

We're not talking anything too fancy here. If you just want a quick snack, what is your preferred spread?

Personally I love marmite, but I try not to buy it because I'll go through half a loaf in one sitting.

[Giggles]

Bovril.

[Spammer]

Just butter for me. Very occasionally I might put some jam on, if I'm feeling adventurous.

[Adamski]

I don't eat toast as a snack, only as part of a cooked breakfast so just butter.

[SvN]

90% of the time it's butter. Sometimes I'll go with jam, HP or very occasionally ketchup, but that's only usually if there's nothing else to put on it.

[John]

Butter. Occasionally a smashed boiled egg.

[Spammer]

Toast itself is great though. Let's not forget that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Just butter, but plenty of it.

[The Merse]

It depends on the bread (I rarely have bread at home though, tend to stick to rye these days).

Good (wholemeal, crusty, thick) bread - Avocado, hummus and chilli sauce
Bad (squishy, processed, white - see 'Warburtons Toastie') bread - Marmite and Lurpak

[Mike]

Normally just butter. Blueberry jam is good. As is this stuff:

What a bellend. Do you really stick to those rules?

Ah, I forgot about chocolate spreads. Again, I try not to keep them in the house because I'd eat stupid amount. Nutella and peanut butter is divine. My mate bought me that Reese's spread and I'd eaten it within two days, most of it in one evening.

[The Merse]

Of course not, you offensive prick. Who the hell has toast rules (well apart from crumb collateral related rules)?

They were the first couple of things that came to mind as they're the most frequent things I'd have. If I'm having to grab shite bread it's doesn't really go with sloppy avo and hummus and the weight tends to be an issue for it, hence leaving that topping for the crusty stuff, but I will also have marmite on the crusty stuff, or even more occasionally a bit of chocolate spread.

It's just that if I'm going to make the effort of getting good bread then I'm likely to go the whole hog and have the avo-hummus-chilli combo that's my favourite.

[Kikó]

Bertoli spread.

[phonics]

It's annoying to get toast bread here that doesn't taste like shite (I think they put sugar in it or something for Americans) so when I do it's always for cheese on toast.

[Spammer]

Oh my shit, I forgot about cheese on toast.

Gonna have some of that later.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just butter but lots of it.

[Offshore Toon]

Unless its spreadable cheese, keep it out of this thread. I'll make a thread for solid food on toast if there's enough demand for it.

Do you have avocado-hummus-chilli combo pre-made in your fridge?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's 'avo' now, mate.

[Browning]

Bovril.

Nailed it on the first reply.

[Queenslander]

Vegemite on butter.

You are a try hard to be fair.

[Pen]

I almost never eat toast or any other white bread, but when I do I prefer red pesto unless I want something sweet in which case I'll go for nutella or raspberry jam. The sweet options are almost solely for hotel breakfasts though as we rarely have either in the fridge.

[Spammer]

Pesto is fucking shite.

[Pen]

Each to their own. Green pesto is a bit bland for my liking (although I use it if we're out of red). Homemade harissa (hi, Merse) is the stuff of dreams on bread but it's not often I bother to make that.

[-james-]

Sun-dried tomato pesto is the greatest food known to man. Or the greatest food known to man that's preparable in under 120 seconds anyway.

[Spammer]

I've not had any red pesto. I'll need to try it before forming an opinion.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Pesto is fucking shite.

I always thought you were a bit weird but this finally confirms it.

[Disco]

If it's hot then butter with marmalade, marmite or maybe peanut butter. If it's cold then just butter.

[CJay]

Pesto is amazing. Never had it on toast, though. Does it work well with normal bread?

[ItalAussie]

Either butter or peanut butter. Never both.

Weirdly, I don't really have either of those things except on toast. Can't stand butter on bread.

[ItalAussie]

Pesto and gnocchi. :drool:

Knock it up in two minutes, and it's an amazing meal. Add things as required for taste.

[Pen]

Yeah. I assume normal bread is anything non-brown. It isn't that good with rye bread.

[Pepe]

Ketchup on toast. :sick:


Pesto is fucking shite.

:face:

[Pepe]

There are a lot of low quality pestos is an a jar out there, to be fair.

[niko_cee]

Is there a type that comes in a jar that isn't low quality?

Anyway, salted Guernsey butter, or marmite, or jam. Pesto is decent as well, although that's more time of day dependent.

[Mazuuurk]

Butter, Jam or Marmelade & Cheese.

If I don't have any Jam / Marmelade, then just Butter and cheese, but that's really a bit of a poor toast imo.
Occasionally some cucumber if I've got that lying around as well.

On a saturday morning (cause there's time), I'll add boiled egg, or scrambled, like John (of course I won't have marmelade then, I'm not a barbarian).


I wouldn't eat a toast without at least cheese or egg unless I was starving, I don't think.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Honey and cheese (preferably sheep's cheese) is the true answer to this, but if I do that ever again I'll have a heart attack.

[Mazuuurk]

Forgot about honey. Honey & Cheese is indeed a pretty awesome combo.


By the way I really envy the Bransons Pickle you get in England. That with a bit of Mature Cheddar is all a man needs. Can't really get it around here.

[SvN]

Oh, I totally forgot - Dairylea on toast is amazing.

[Offshore Toon]

Either butter or peanut butter. Never both.

Peanut butter goes with everything, I've started mixing it in porridge recently.

[hfswjyr]

Variety of all the above. Except ketchup. What the fuck?

[ItalAussie]

Peanut butter goes with everything, I've started mixing it in porridge recently.

Oh yeah, absolutely. There's almost no recipe that can't be made slightly more interesting by a half-teaspoon of peanut butter.

I more meant that I don't tend to have peanut butter on bread. Should've been clearer.

[Raoul Duke]

If we're just talking spreads then, at home - Peanut butter, Speculouus, marmalade, Marmite, raspberry jam and Nutella are probably my most common ones. All with margarine/butter on.

If I'm in some hipster cafe then smashed 'avo (mate), poached eggs, feta, bacon etc.

Beans/Cheese/Eggs if we're talking non-spreadables...

[Offshore Toon]

Also, shout out to peanut butter and marmite on toast. :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

We need to talk about lemon curd.

[Giggles]

We need to talk about lemon curd.

I noticed my Dad putting that on toast the other day as he'd apparently bought it a few weeks back for pancakes. Not something I ever thought would be nice but wasn't bad at all.

[SvN]

I haven't had it in years, but I do enjoy it. On sandwiches, too.

[Offshore Toon]

I don't think I've ever had lemon curd. I'm struggling to recall a time where I've eaten marmalade too.

[Smiffy]

Lemon curd ain't so bad tbf.

I was more of a peanut butter guy, the crunchy one, none of this soft bollocks.

[Mazuuurk]

Lemon curd always seems a little too sweet for my taste, but if you come over one that isn't too sickly it's fucking mint.

[Adamski]

I reckon that would make it more salty than sweet.
