Question? How do you eat a "doorstep"? Even smothered in butter it must be kinda hard to go down.

All references I have found call it a type of a large sandwich, made with a long loaf of bread. In their parlance, it seems to connote something large:


"The (reports) that cross my desk are certainly as big a doorstep sandwich, and must consume a lot of planning officers' time and council tax payers' money."


"It is important not to be intimidated by such terms, especially if you view 'theology' as a subject which is beyond you, something only done by people who can read books thicker than a doorstep sandwich!"

The same way you eat "$h*t on a shingle". One bite at a time!

From my reading of the "The Broons" and "Oor Wullie", a doorstep is a piece of thickly sliced bread, as in "sliced thick as a doorstep". Ach noo, ye didnae ken that?
