    In my 5 decades of Britishness I've never ever heard of a toast sandwich. And for one and a half of those decades we were so poor that we sometimes had sugar sandwiches just so we wouldn't starve.

    But, yeah, I'd give it a go. Hell, I may even have one today.

    Nope. Slice or two of bread, some margarine spread (we couldn't afford butter), and sugar sprinkled on it. That's it.

    Damn, that’s like “milk toast “. My dad used to make that but looking back it’s likely from lean times on the farm when he was a kid….. put some milk on the stove, briefly dip slices of bread, then serve with a giant pat of butter. Also clearly influenced by the farm he grew up on being a dairy farm
