Street Food Van Conversion
Before Christmas I told you about our new old food van, and the thought process behind trying to have more vans than breakdowns in 2015. Then Toastuary happened, and the weather was both cold and wet. We also couldn't make many of the decisions necessary in street...
Some thoughts on the Unrecognised Stars of Streetfood
This is only the second blog post that I have written and will, I expect, be my last. It is a topic that I think should be raised, but is a little harder for Flic to write about than it is for me. On a regular basis, people will ask if the Jabberwocky is our business....
Toastie Statistics
Toastuary is over, the cheese is settling and we are quite enjoying having normal meals again. After an entire month of eating toasties, and an entire night of feeding other people toasties, it's data time. I am delighted to report that the toastie statistics have...
Triple Decker Surf and Turf Toasties
There had to be a new, filthy triple-decker at some point this month, and while the Full Monty is magnificent in it's breakfastness, it is not an all day toastie. It follows then that we save the most obscene for last. If you can make a surf and turf toastie work, I...
Duck Toasties
Today was originally due to be Manchego day. It's a Spanish sheep's milk cheese we are both rather fond of. We have used it before in the Kofta toastie (spiced lamb koftas, roasted red peppers, raita and manchego) but never really experimented with it. I had heard it...
Creme Brulee Toasties
We have only tried one sweet toastie so far this month, and due to a fortunate series of events we had some desserts going spare, and decided to try the creme brulee (technically crème brûlée) toastie. In the wild this should be a set custard with a caramelised sugar...
Stilton Toasties
Stilton is currently only used in one of our toasties, the beef, Stilton and piccalilli. This is partly because it's such a strong flavour, but mostly because Barny hates it. This makes Stilton toasties fairly hard to develop. It's also a flavour that divides people,...
Quesadilla Toasties
Yesterday we received more ingredients for the Sandwich Awards. Time to enter is running a little thin, so we thought it best to crack on with an ingredient that just keeps crossing out path. Mexicana cheese has been haunting us for a while, so we decided to give it a...
Dauphinoise Toasties
We had fellow streetfood buddies The Hungry Toad over on Saturday night, and Barny got his chef on and dauphinoised. The leftovers were right there, infused with all that makes potatoes filthy and delicious. We thought it only fair to give dauphinoise toasties a fair...
The Full Monty Breakfast Toastie
Technically anything containing egg falls into the breakfast toastie remit. In that sense, following directly on from yesterday's Scotch Egg Toastie with the Full Monty is a bit samey. But that's in title only. This one has been a long time in the making, like all...
Scotch Egg Toasties
Yesterday we had a bit of a revelation on the filthy snack food front. What should have been an inappropriate mess of scotch egg toastie turned out to be really quite interesting. Sufficiently interesting that we decided to have another go at it today, rather than...
Filthy Snack Toasties
As you may have noticed we are currently eating a fair amount of toasties. This should normally fill the average person's daily requirement of filthy snack food. It doesn't seem to work like that. As a result of this we still have sausage rolls and scotch eggs...
