Today I had a blast from the past, a vivid memory of a foodstuff I adored in the 70's: Toast Toppers.
This delicious creamy spread came in dinky little tins and had a ring pull top if I remember rightly. The flavours were largely cheese and ham I think. That's what I recall, the liquid cheese bubbling under the grill with the chunks of ham all cozy and hot.
Biting into a toast toppered slice of toast was a unique experience. Hot, crispy, creamy, meaty. Totally delicious!
I've not seen toast toppers for years so I assume they fell into food oblivion. Please tell me that's the case and haven't been available at Farmfoods ever since!
I remember Toast Toppers.
ReplyDeleteThe ones that stick in my mind were the ones with mushroom in (with chicken or ham, I think).
They were salty, but tasty.
Haven't had them in decades, but suspect you can get them in B & M, or somewhere like that.
Mish.
Mmmm. Chicken and mushroom, yes! I loved that one too Mish!
DeleteI was regularly toast-topping (from Tesco) up to 2005/6? Heinz were the culprits I think?
