What’s your favourite thing to eat on toast? A simple question, yet this one offered a lot of interest and whole load of suggestions.
Toasted bread is a very simple idea (even I can cook that) – but it’s appeal is massive, judging by the response to this question. Some of the suggestions I received are obvious, some sound delicious – others are a matter of taste.

There you have it: some excellent ideas. Some very simple suggestions – like good old butter – we often forget how good that tastes. Then there’s the Full English options, right the way through to some that sound like they could be on a menu. I’m also partial to sardines on toast, so nice to see that crop up a couple of times. One or two of these “favourites” may well be jokes, but I’m not sure…
Sweet or savoury, there are some great ideas here that I would like to try. I’ve not picked a winner, I hope this fun exercise has given you some “food for thought”. But – roast dinner on toast? Regular readers will be able to guess what I think of that…
