Toast sandwich is UK's 'cheapest meal'

Toast sandwich is UK's 'cheapest meal'

"Britain's 'cheapest' lunchtime meal was unveiled by scientists on Wednesday - the toast sandwich.

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is reviving the mid-Victorian dish, which, unsurprisingly, consists of two slices of bread around a slice of toast......"

-Toast a thin slice of bread.

-Butter two slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

-Place the toast between the two slices of bread-and-butter to form a sandwich.

      How about a "wish" sandwich?

      That's when you have two slices of bread and you "wish" you had some meat...

        For something different you could have two slices of toast with a slice of white bread between them. Whoa, am I getting to wild? ;-)
