Cheese on toast

One post for two 'dinners' today. Yesterday I was on a train from 5.23 to 8.42pm a.k.a. dinner time. I knew that if I could hold out there would be stew and dumplings for me at the other end but I got hungry and ate the very average Ginsters cheese sandwich and McCoys salt and vinegar crisps.

Tonight I repeated the journey in the other direction getting home for 6.30pm. Having had a massive jacket potato with cheese and beans for lunch I wasn't really hungry. It was definitely a day for comfort food. A true November day full of fog and drizzle. Mr VST and I were going to go out for dinner but neither of us was hungry. We decided to go for a walk in the rain and discuss possible food options. We discussed various eateries, some we had vouchers for, good old British chips...this went on for some time.

We agreed to pop into the supermarket and see what took our fancy. There are always certain comfort foods I fall back on and so I went for cheese on toast. Mr VST decided to go for some spinach and ricotta ravioli with tomato and marscapone sauce and I picked up some bread for my cheese on toast. Sticking with the comfort theme we also got a tin of custard and some mince pies for pudding.

I like my cheese on toast pretty plain. Just good brown (or white) sliced bread, mature cheddar cheese and ketchup. Mr VST is partial so a sprinkling of herbs on his, or using the ketchup as a tomato base under the cheese. How do you like yours?



This is not a picture of my cheese on toast but this is how I like it!
