What have we got in store next year

When I was a kid, my mum used to make me banana sandwiches and she used to sprinkle sugar on the banana! :eek: No wonder I've got so many fillings!

Don't think I would fancy a toast sandwich. Apparently, it was Mrs Beeton who came up with the idea originally. There's an article about it on the Guardian website. The Toast Sandwich: Can You Jazz It Up.

don't forget sprouted beans and seeds are very nutritious and cheap. Just be sure to check which ones are safe to do.

But surely Mrs Beeton can be considered OS

Think I'd prefer a big bowl of Sainsbury's Basics spaghetti (5p for 100g dry weight), tosssed in afore-mentioned butter (and a bit of garlic should there happen to be an odd shrivelled-up clove lurking somewhere) with lots of salt and pepper instead of the toast sandwich, please!

One of my schoolfriends used to have salad cream sandwiches.

I've not come across toast sandwiches but can remember my cousins being made to eat two slices of bread and butter with their tea to "fill them up" and stop them eating too much cake

So confident is the [Royal Society of Chemistry] that it has come up with the cheapest meal in the country that it will serve up £200 to the first person who can prove them wrong by devising a more economical - but edible - lunchtime meal.

Can anyone beat the 7.5p toast sandwich?

Add one sliced mushroom and you make it really posh Esp if you can sprinkle on some HG parsley!!! :rotfl:

I keep the powdery fresh parmesan in the freezer so I can use just a bit at a time - I make garlic mushroom pasta with a tsp of parmesan quite often atm - Love it!!!

Seriously though, if you order garlic mushroom pasta in a restaurant, how much mushroom do you really get.... Not much!

Trick is to slice it different ways - half the mushroom finely sliced, the other half chopped roughly
