I actually tried this after seeing it on QI, and it's wayyy better than it has any right to be. Hit the toast with butter and pepper, use super soft bread for the sandwich, and I'll eat that any day.

Bah, that's a double-decker butter sandwich.

A toast sandwich is a piece of dry toast between two other pieces of bread, toasted or otherwise.

Savages.

You people make me sick.

A toast sandwich consists of only these following items. Bread. More bread (usually toasted). This entire community consist of "double-deckers". Almost every "toast" sandwich i see on here has other spreads added to it. The fact that this community is called "toastsandwich" is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against double-deckers, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not toast sandwiches. Adding toast to your butter sandwich? It's called a butter double-decker. Totally different. Want to add mayo and some pretentious bread crumbs with salt? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a toast sandwich. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more toast sandwiches in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your toast sandwich? Use a mix of different toastedness levels or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some olive oil and take a picture of it, make your own community entitled "double-deckers" because that is not a fucking toast sandwich. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white british male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to toast sandwiches and water soup. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our toast sandwiches and stop associating your double-decker sandwiches with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "toast sandwiches" all over lemmy and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this community this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own community just because I know this one exists now.

You god damn heretics. Respect the toast sandwich and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn double-decker sandwich and call it for what it is. A double-decker.

British food sucks. This is still a step up from a butter sandwich.

I think Jesus had a point when he said, "Man cannot live on bread alone," and I'm an atheist.

We call this a "ghetto burger"

How about a bread sandwich from Pete's?
