Spanish saying[edit]

In Spanish we have a saying "Pan con pan, comida de tontos" (Bread with bread, fools' meal)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.164.225.147 (talk) 2:52, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Britain's cheapest[edit]

"The sandwich was named ... "Britain's cheapest lunchtime meal"... [however this] has been questioned, as "bread on toast" is approximately two thirds the cost.[citation needed]"

I really love how the editor felt the need to slap a "citation needed" on the end. Bread on toast needs two slices of bread; a toast sandwich needs three. Two divided by three would make... Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down with the original research there! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.116.70.72 (talk) 00:03, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree; most wikipedia "editors" need to be shot behind the ear to save us from their pedantic in(s)anity... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.152.210.123 (talk) 11:12, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think it was a bit of homour. Seeing the "citation needed" made me laugh and I'm sad to see it go. 82.45.34.80 (talk) 12:08, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prank[edit]

surely this is a prank and not a real thing and needs to be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.234.131.220 (talk) (talk) 08:26, 21 November 2015‎

Check the sources for yourself. Grayfell (talk) 08:32, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did. looks like they were all pranked and wrote articles around the same time based on the same source, which was a troll. No sources for anything pre 2011. sounds like they are all the victims of a internet hoax **** — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.234.131.220 (talk) 22:58, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's in Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management, which was written in the 1860s. You can read it yourself on Project Gutenberg and other places. If it's a hoax, it's a very deep one. Grayfell (talk) 00:43, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree are you sure this isn't a prank? (Kingnunandrhysandfan)

Yep this sandwich really isn't a thing, which is why the only proper citation has to go all the way back to 1800s. Even if it does still exist then it must be so obscure as to be irrelevant and as such not deserving of its own page, I mean, if "beans on toast" doesn't warrant it's own wiki page then how does something like this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:D42B:9500:B53E:FF43:EACD:5FDC (talk) 23:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note to the hungry diner[edit]

The double toast sandwich consists of four slices of bread stacked on top of each other. The triple toast sandwich consists of five slices of bread stacked on top of each other. If one cannot afford to go to a fancy English restaurant for a toast sandwich, one can simply purchase a loaf of sliced bread and attempt to bite at it vertically.

Should some of these qualify?[edit]

I feel as if some of the toast sandwiches don't fit the definition, as a toast sandwich should not have fillings such as meat; Such ingredients detract from the toast sandwich-ness of the dish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.114.78 (talk) 20:06, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

if its between two slices of bread its a sandwich — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.210.21.226 (talk) 22:09, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well yeah but it's not a toast sandwich - it's a toast & meat & etc. sandwich Synt4x 3rr0r at Line 420 (talk) 23:00, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it depends on whether a toast sandwich is defined by having a slice of toast between slices of untoasted bread, or by only having a slice of toast between slices of untoasted bread. Largoplazo (talk) 23:53, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source listing the actual book[edit]

I was honestly wondering if this was just a very good prank or not, but after some research I found that archive.org does actual have a .pdf copy of the book "The Book of Household Management" (1861). Instead of listing the .html source (which I doubted at first as it in no way is a reliable source on its own), I would suggest linking the scanned book over at archive.org

https://archive.org/details/b20392758/page/904/mode/2up?q=toast+sandwich

Opinions? Was this not done for a reason? I presume the scans were simply not available back then as the listing on archive.org comes from 2014 (this page comes from 2011)
