    This was mentioned in the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who. A couple of US contacts, have asked what it is? Given that 'Beans on Toast' is a staple of the English diet, I was suprised that they hadn't heard of it it, or even eaten it. So, have you had 'Beans on Toast'?

        Is that like "shit on a shingle"? My grandpa tells me that's what they fed him in the military when he was fighting in the Korean war. :)

          No. Baked beans? Yes, not a favorite though. Toast? Yes, not a favorite though.


          Overheard in clients: Question: "So country music doesn't make you want to get down and boogie?" Response: "No, it makes me want to clean off the bottom of my shoe." I just have to say that's about one of the best statements regarding country music I've ever heard. :cool: Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog[^] now.

                            Heh. I'm not terribly familiar with UK colloquialisms, so i thought it best to be precise. After all, there's a pretty big difference for "chips", so i thought maybe "toast" refers to something like fried liver in the Land of Limies... ;)

                              In my student days, yeah. I don't eat much pre-packaged stuff these days, and baked beans is one of the foods I gave up on long ago.

                                          That looks really disgusting. I think I'll pass. :)

                                          May not look to good, but it is quite tasty. I remember my wife (a true yankee) looking on in disgust as I dug into a plate of biscuits in gravy (same thing only biscuits instead of toast) until I forced her to try it. That one thing started her on a path to being a true lover of southern cuisine (everything fried or creamed with some greens and beans thrown in for fun).
