Just wait until you try doubled fried french fries. It’s the only way i eat then now.
Every potato should be cooked twice. It’s the correct way
Are triple cooked chips not common knowledge outside of the UK?
The best way I’ve found to make fries in the oven is to bake them on normal mode for 20-30 minutes, then hit them with convection mode for another 10.
I learned the other day that British have a delicacy called the toast sandwich which consists of a slice of toasted white bread between two slices of untoasted white bread with optional butter in between.

I’ve not heard of anyone else making such a thing, but not surprised it does exist. However, I can 1-up that with my childhood creation - the triple fold sandwich. One slice of buttered bread, one slice of buttered toast & one slice of butter fried bread. Fold each one in half, overlapping half of the adjacent piece. You get a mix of three different bready textures & flavours in each bite. I haven’t made it in a few decades so I may not enjoy it so much now, but it was good at the time!
Well now I have a delicacy called the toast sandwich.
It is true and this is a real thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_sandwich?wprov=sfla1
An 1861 recipe says to add salt and pepper to taste.
Woah, slow down there Guy Fieri.
Is this a struggle meal that beats all struggle meals?
Cost one side of the middle slice in butter, the other side in honey.
Now youre there.
That actually sounds kind’a dynamite.
It’s actually an ok snack. I made one after seeing it mentioned i line a while back. The combination of textures is nice.
Delicacy is maybe not the word I’d use, but it certainly exists
As a Brit I’ve never heard of such a thing. Sounds awful like putting a pie on a muffin (bread roll, barm cake) 🤮
Sweden: hold my sandwich cake!
Smörgås tårta.
Atleast the toast is on mute.
Accents like that and the shit cropping are becoming the sort of artifacts that authenticate a human touch. Like using dogs to weed out Terminators.
Until T2000 comes melting and oozing outta the side of your flat screen. Then we’ll all be muted toast.
Imperfection is often the defining feature of art.
Dat Maillard reaction tho…
I like toast but I don’t like MAKING toast.
I would like to buy a loaf of toast. Then I could just warm it up in the microwave.
I have good news!
Industrially dried, flour product. It is less like toast and more like big cracker.
There is toasters that toast in seconds, toasters that rehydrate while toasting to keep the bread perfect and toasters that let you midway pile on the toppings and make a filling toasted sandwhich.
None of this can be done in a microwave XD
You know the best part about this, you can put so much on toast. SOOOO much.
Butter, syrups, jams, nut butters, or even just go plain and dunk it in something tasty (Hot Tomato soup in a mug, to dunk your lightly buttered toast is amazing).you know the best part above all else, you can toast nearly anywhere in 2026. There is USB powered toasters, as DC buck-converters easily take USB-PD and warm up some coils!
Is toast technically biscotti then?
I’ll allow it.
Zwieback!
Don’t confuse it with Zwiebel
I could never!!!
I’ll bet it was the french. Those motherfuckers LOVE maillard.
We should all love Maillard and the wonderful culinary reaction he invented! Can you imagine trying to enjoy food before we created caramelization? That had to be just awful, it’s no wonder they just ate everything raw.
Has anyone tried cooking it again? Projections show an incredible increase in flavor!

Update: my house burned down
Enter, Zwieback.
That was only an option if we were terribly ill.
Oh this thing we call it Batonas su cukrum (bread with sugar).
You don’t have to specify that the house burnt down, they usually don’t burn up.
Me realizing with horror that “burned down” and “burned up” are often completely interchangeable
That photo looks more like a pancake than toast
It’s remarkable how England and English colonies have a whole variety of thick slabs of batter that they consider ’food’.
Yeah it does look a bit thin
try making a loaf of bread with like 6-12 tbsp of chestnut honey, specifically chestnut. Eat some fresh but let it cool and toast it after. It goes with everything and it smells amazing. I eat it with ice cream for an unparalleled ice cream sandwich that make those store bought bricks look and taste like dirt in comparison.
It’s crazy because chestnut honey smells and tastes kinda not food like IMO. Like a mouthful of worn pantyhose that has done an office shift and then inhale through the nose. Not saying I’ve done that but that’s just the image I have in my head from trying chestnut honey on its own.
Get a load of this guy who has beehives in entire groves of chestnut trees.
I wish, except kinda not really because chestnuts are gross. Back when I worked in a grocery store chestnuts were a decidedly rare item to see people buying too.
I thought chestnuts were like almost extinct?
I freaked out and looked it up and it seems like its only american chestnut that is critically endangered and european chestnut, which is most likely the one the honey I have tried was made from, is least concern.
This is probably why I never heard of chestnut honey before going to europe and why even if you can find some here it’s imported.
Like a mouthful of worn pantyhose that has done an office shift and then inhale through the nose
How’d you find my diary?
I’ve been waiting for a large portion of my life for someone who has tried chestnut honey to confirm or deny but chestnut honey is really rare here and I also can’t confirm if there are multiple types of chestnut tree that would result in different flavour or aroma. I had two 1L jars of the honey from Slovenia, and one smaller jar from Italy several years later though so I expect it to be fairly consistent even from different hives.
I feel compelled to say “Yeah TOAST!”
Some sailor that was like for the love of God can I please have ateast one. Biscuit that isn’t cooked 7 times. Just cook it once please!
No. Biscuit literally means “twice baked”.
So if you only bake it once is it a uniscuit, or just a scuit?
I like to buy Chewy Chips Ahoy!™ and then finish cooking them.
You’re gonna lose your mind when you find out about the original Chips Ahoy!™ in the blue package.
AGAIN!
