Scallop Toasties
Once upon a time, way back in the time before toasties, we used to sell a scallop gratin. It was only one for one event, and was surprisingly popular. We then discovered toasties, and the scallop dish faded into the past. Now, having realised that that lovely dish was...
Curry Toasties
We have been planning to have a curry toastie almost from the start, as Barny’s curry really is very good. Somehow though, it never quite tasted right. We had had a few tries, but in every case it feels like toasting didn't add anything. A regular curry would have...
Sardine Toasties
This month I seem obsessed with fish. There is a lot of variety out there though. Plenty of fish in the sea. Literally. This one is also a really tasty one, which surely makes it into most people's safe fish list. It doesn't have a head, comes ready cooked and is...
The Mac And Cheese Toastie
We had the bolognese toastie a few days ago, and had a look at the Mac and Cheese toastie as part of that. Pasta then turned out to be a good match, which was unsurprising as it is currently doing the rounds as a must-have street food. So for the sake of completeness...
Lobster Toasties
Lobster toasties, because you only live once. The extortionate price of these crustaceans means it is unlikely these will ever be regular menu features no matter how good they are. Let's just enjoy it while it lasts. With the gratuitous assistance of the Monty Python...
Bolognese Toasties
The bolognese toastie has been hotly anticipated. It is not entirely new, having featured at a toastie tasting back in 2012. Despite scoring better than the chorizo toastie, which has been a festival favourite ever since, this toastie never made it onto the menu. In...
Beetroot Relish Toasties
Earlier in the month we had a stab at using beetroot in the Yarg toastie. It was not totally unpleasant, so we fancied another go at it. Low and behold, an opportunity presents itself. This year we entered the Sandwich Designer of the Year competition, which involves...
Peanut Butter and Jam Toasties
The peanut butter and jam toastie was something we had to test. You never know, it might turn out to be the greatest single invention since the sandwich of the same name. Not that I consider that to be an exceptional culinary creation. I'm indifferent to peanuts at...
Cuban Toasties
The Cuban toastie is one of these classic American sandwiches that everyone should have tried once. As we're now almost half way through Toastuary and things have been a little heavy on the seafood it's probably about time we serenaded you with a little bit of good...
Ploughmans Toasties
A ploughmans lunch is basically cheese, ham and pickle, but there are loads of other optional extras. Messing with a classic seems like a pretty dangerous prospect, but many of these combinations are still a fairly common combination, if google is to be believed. It...
Cockle Toasties
Cockles are not a favourite of mine. Since the Kraken, legendary triple-decker fish-finger sandwich which premièred last year, we have come to feel they might need a solo outing. They were a pretty hard sell in the Kraken, undeniably improving the flavour, but making...
Avocado Toasties
Avocado is currently doing the rounds as a super-food, but we should hold that against it. Super-food status makes it reasonably easy to get hold of. We haven't used it before either, so an avocado toastie was practically unavoidable. The Veggie Avocado Toastie Sliced...
