    Somewhere, many years back, I read that an alternative to British beans on toast is spaghetti-os on toast. I have no idea if this is true, but I have to say: it has always sounded delicious, but I’ve never bothered to try and make it.

      The bread and pasta is redundant. That’s fucking gross, and you should know that.

        Redundant carbs is the cornerstone of British working class food culture. The pinnacle of this practice is the legendary glaswegian macaroni pie on a roll.

            Yes in a way, but so much more! A macaroni pie is macaroni cheese filling in a pastry case (usually a single serving size that fits comfortably in a hand). Pie and roll is a delightfully Scottish way of eating a pie. You get a pie, and a buttered bread roll, and you put the pie in the roll, maybe with a bit of sauce (we enjoy red sauce and brown sauce in Scotland), and let nature take it’s course.

        Yeah it’s the bread and pasta combo that’s gross, not the Spaghetti-Os, or that horrifying “sauce.”

        I don’t know, loading up some spaghetti on a piece of garlic bread is pretty delicious
