Top Toasties
Merton college bar speciality
(adapted for mere common toastie makers)
Ingredients:
2 slices bread (brown or wholemeal healthier, but for the authentic taste experience use cheap white stuff)
1 squidge tomato puree spread on bread
3 bits of cheddar cheese (mature is best; Sainsburys do nice low fat one)
1 tomato, sliced (or at least mushed up a bit)
1 sprinkle of oregano
Instructions:
Layer, place or blobulate filling ingredients between two slices of bread. Cook. Eat.
Drunken Whore's Delight
(for those midnight munchie moments)
Ingredients:
2 slices bread (wholemeal if you want to be a healthy whore)
1 blob ketchup (Aldi or Netto best)
1/2 can tuna, drained
Instructions:
Layer, place or blobulate filling ingredients between two slices of bread. Put sock over smoke alarm. Cook. Eat
Carnivorous Corner
(by Thomas Ableman)
Ingredients:
2 slices of bread (white)
a large square of cheese, grated, probably best to use cheddar
1 slice of boiled ham
(a.k.a flesh, probably best to use Matt Shouler)
1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
reasonable sized pinch of salt
Instructions:
Cut the slice of ham into strips. Mix cheese and ham and place on 1 slice of bread. Sprinkle in herbs and salt. Toast. Eat.
Black Magic (by Leonie Hough)
For all those of you who really understand the virtues of black pudding. From your very own chief carnivore chef!
Ingredients:
One slice of black pudding. Good black pudding, not the stuff that looks like fossilized dog turd.
Slices of mature cheddar cheese
Two slices of white bread
Instructions:
Cook or fry the black pudding. Frying is quicker and less healthy and therefore preferable.
Toast the bread, leave one slice to go cold (trust me, this does work) and toast the cheese on the other slice.
Spread the black pudding pate-like on the colder toast.
Sandwhich the cheesy toast and the black pudding toast together.
Eat, making approving noises to annoy any passing veggies!
This is quite a complicated toastie, but well worth the effort!
Cheesy Feet (by Leonie Hough)
A veggie option from the carnivore chef, just to prove I'm not a total bigot.
Ingredients:
Two slices of bread
Slices of cheese, preferably wensleydale
Marmite
Butter
Instructions:
Spread the butter on the bread.
Spread Marmite fairly liberally on one slice of bread and butter.
Place cheese on the other slice.
Sandwhich together.
Toast.
Eat.
Variations:
Use Philidelphia and Marmite. For some reason this tastes very French indeed. For this reason you can worry people by referring to this recipe as Froggy Feet.
