I used to eat toast sandwiches, but I usually spread marmite on the piece of toast between the untoasted slices because it would taste vaguely like a really cheap pork tenderloin sandwich. Struggle sandwich.
It’s time for Powdered Toast Man!
Hmmm… this recipe does sound good, but it could use a couple of garnishes. Say, an entire jar of peanut butter, an entire jar of jam, and a pound of bacon, for starters.
NANTWICH (n.)
A late-night snack, invented by the Earl of Nantwich, which consists of
the dampest thing in the fridge, pressed between two of the driest things in the fridge. The Earl, who lived in a flat in Clapham, invented the nantwich to avoid having to go shopping.

Toasted toast sandwiches are a great breakfast
I prefer a “jam sandwich”: two pieces of bread jammed together. (Credit 70s TV show “Good Times.”)
How about a slice of bread between two slices of toast?
You bloody heathen!
How dare you mess with a centuries-old proper British Pauper Recipe.
To be fair, I’m trying this for brekkie tomorrow.
That sounds a lot better than the Fool’s Gold Loaf.
I have literally just finished a toast sandwich.
I may have cheated a little, as I also buttered the bottom-bread (I’m sorry, couldn’t think of a better description) but not the top-bread.
Salt and Pepper on the buttered toast, in between two slices of bread.
I shit thee not, delicious.
Honestly, try it.
ETA: Wonderful texture, but also tasty.
