    Hey just because Betty’s dead doesn’t mean that (some of) you lot aren’t still weirdly loyal to her.

    I’d argue that beans and toast is a completely accurate way of describing the dish, as is beans on toast.

      @Evkob
      “Beans and toast”
      Maybe we could have “Bangers with mash”, “Toad and a hole”, “Cheese with toast”

      As for old Lizzy, my whole life we had a queen, I thought it would be monumental when she popped her clogs. But it’s made virtually no difference. I can’t even remember if we have any coins with Charlie on the front, how will they fit his ears on it?

      I’ve never understood the worshipping royalty or anyone unelected. I’d probably opt for a republic or something 🤷‍♂️

      The beans are not amiable colleagues of the toast. The beans are ON the toast, proudly displaying their dominance as they slowly turn the toast to glorious orange mush.

      Totally different things.

        Okay this argument actually has me convinced, fair game.

      That isn’t the name, its like saying:

      • Mac with Cheese
      • Sausage in a bun
      • Chicken BLT Sandwich

      Sure its technically correct but people either won’t recognise it or think your saying it weirdly.

        I only think Mac with Cheese is weird on this list.

        For sausage in a bun, I would assume you mean a sausage patty on a roll. Which is a pretty popular sandwich. Throw on an egg and some cheese and you’ve got a classic breakfast sandwich. It’s just called “sausage egg and cheese on a roll” I’d assume if you said bun you’d probably get the same thing.

        For chicken BLT, that’s a real thing I’ve seen before. It’s just a BLT with some chicken included. It’s just a variant.

        So it seems like you’re proving the opposite point you’re trying to make.

          I googled American foods and decided to pick accurate but different names.

          • Sausage in a bun is a hot dog. Its the name CMOT Dibbler gave them
          • Club Sandwich is what Americans call a Chicken BLT

          Your Sausage patty comment brings out a great example because you can place them in a bread roll/bap.

          So you could technically call saussages in a bread roll a sausage roll (after all when you put bacon in, its called a bacon roll). However most people know a saussage roll as a saussage wrapped in savoury pastry. It’s a completely different dish.
