Cheap food. Toast on a sandwich. Add ingredients to taste.

The U.S. version:

If you want to just add something to make it taste, there's a simple solution (You can live on it)

“You can add an egg for 8p, it’s not much and it would give you some protein and keep you fuller for longer....”

I’ve been eating egg sandwiches all my life, and not because they’re cheap....but because they’re good.

We need to ship cases of Spam to the Brits again, like we did in WWII.

I’ve met Brits from that generation who thought Spam was a treat during the war and still loved it.

[Tolaei1]

Have had relatives that have told me about adding eggs to ramen noodles because it’s filling and very cheap.

I hate to live in a world where that’s the ‘normal’ expectation. Abject poverty is not a situation to aspire to.

Some apparently thing that’s some sort of idealized lifestyle. I think it stinks and we should be overcoming the depression lifestyle at this point.

Margarine is about 1/3 the price of butter

Marxist chickens coming home to roost. Is it too early for publication of The National Cookbook of North Korea?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

A upscale version of the “Jam Sandwich”. You took two pieces of bread and jammed them together!

[Tribune7]

It’s almost as good as toaster leavins.

During the Depression, my Mother's Family ate Mayonnaise Sandwiches. They couldn't afford Cheese or Meat.

They were as poor as poor can be.

I grew up eating them myself. Still do today when I want something quick and tasty.

Has to be Best Foods / Hellmans. The others just won't do.

Ms Little said: "You can add an egg for 8p, it's not much and it would give you some protein and keep you fuller for longer - and it would make it taste much better.

But then it's not a toast sandwich any more, is it? Pfft.

But I thought everyone had all the food and medical care they could want in the glorious modern welfare states! You mean they have run out of other people’s money, as M. Thatcher said they would? Wow, what a surprise.

goes well with stone soup.

I fully welcome the coming dietary trend.

Hunting camp breakfast was a can of sardines(kipper[ed] snacks), 2 pieces of toast with butter and jam, and coffee. Lunch was eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and coffee. Supper was sandwiches and coffee. Dinner was crock pot stew or fried killed thing with bread and coffee. Bedtime snack was crawdad tail or squirrel or dead bird with dutch oven dessert and coffee. Toppings of various berries served at any meal.

[PowderMonkey]

National Health Service, and pretend sandwiches. Welcome to the formerly Great Britain. Jeepers...talk about lowered expectations.

[jaydubya2]

A bit like Jake’s “wish sandwich”.

[who knows what evil?]

55 carbs? You won’t find this treat on a ‘type-2’ diabetics menu...

When I was in college circa 1967 my girlfriend told me the pledges in her sorority during rush week were required to eat “bread sandwiches”. Without water I presumed.

I guess this thread is for those who regard ramen noodles as an unbridled luxury. Sounds like Bill Cosby’s father lecturing him about REAL poverty (”We ate DIRT! And we were GRATEFUL for that dirt! We walked uphill to school! Both ways!”).

No mention of Velveeta, by the way.
