PERFECT TOAST

[patkins]

Butter the four slices of bread. Uncork the champagne (please note: should the champagne have a cap then use the workmans glove to help prevent welts while trying to unscrew cap) Alternatively , you can use a certain tonic wine in which case you`ll need the glove.Pour the (corked) champagne into the glasses and think of some occasion to celebrate chanting `For he`s a jolly good etc, or substituting `She` where appropiate. When you`re finished,as agood will gesture, throw the 4 slices of bread out for the birds. HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTE; Remember to put all glasses,cutlery etc. into the sink or dishwasher to be forgotten about. ENJOY.

I'm sure this recipe was for toast, reads like making buttered bread to me, no instructions for toasting!

Thanks for the interest boothuk. Iwas reading through this forum and further down is a post on HOW TO MAKE TEA so I thought I`d have a go as well. It`s a play on words substituting browning bread for raising a glass.

Whoops, right over my head there, my apologies.

Why do you need a corkscrew to open champagne?

Some of the dearer stuff has a cork in it.

I'd eat the toast and leave the champagne in the bird bowl - it's the RSPB recipe for be kind to bird week

I know this thread started as a bit of a wind-up, but the best way to do toast with champagne (or cheap plonk, whatever the budget currently allows...) I've seen this everywhere but have no idea what it's actually called...

1) Take a Slice of bread, Thicker the better, and cut a hole out of the middle by using an upside down cup / glass / cookie cutter / whatever

2) Heat some lard / fat in a frying pan and put in the slice of bread (as if you were making normal fried bread...)

3) Flip over the bread when the bottom side is only half done and crack open an egg in the hole in the middle

4) Leave the egg to fry as normal.

This goes really well with Salmon or Gammon at breakfast (depends how posh you are...) but I found 2 of these with a tin of beans makes a bloody good student hang-over breakfast.

Enjoy
