Victorian recipe …
A recipe for toast sandwiches is included in the invalid

cookery section of the 1861 Book of Household
Management by Isabella Beeton, who adds, "This
sandwich may be varied by adding a little pulled meat,
or very fine slices of cold meat, to the toast, and in any
of these forms will be found very tempting to the
appetite of an invalid."[1][3]
Modern versions …
In November 2011, the toast sandwich was recreated

by the Royal Society of Chemistry in a tasting 150
years after the release of Beeton's Book of Household
Management.[4] The society sought to revive the
forgotten dish in wake of the Great Recession after
calculating the cost as low as £.075 per sandwich.[5]
They named it "the country's most economical lunch",
offering £200 (equivalent to £259.31 in 2021) to
whoever could create a cheaper edible meal.[6] Due to
an overabundance of submissions, the offer was
closed seven days later and the £200 given to a
randomly selected entrant.[7]
The toast sandwich served as a side

dish at Heston Blumenthal's
restaurant The Fat Duck
In Heston Blumenthal's restaurant The Fat Duck, 12

toast sandwiches are served as a side dish to the "Mad
Hatter's Tea Party (circa 1892)", a main course
inspired by Alice in Wonderland.[8][9][10] Blumenthal's
recipe for the toast sandwich involves bone marrow
salad, egg yolk, mustard, gastrique, mayonnaise, and
tomato ketchup.[10]
United States media coverage …
The A.V. Club's Mike Vago described it as an

"extravagance of blandness".[11] The Daily Meal article
"12 Life-Changing Sandwiches You've Never Heard
Of" said the toast sandwich was "just not that good ...
Thankfully, the Dadaists didn't invent any more
sandwiches after that."[2]
The toast sandwich was discussed on The Leonard

Lopate Show in an interview with The Sporkful's Dan
Pashman. Host Leonard Lopate commented, "it sounds
weird to me".[12][13] The game show panelists on NPR's
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! each tried the toast
sandwich.[14] Host Peter Sagal remarked, "This is the
culinary equivalent of a Rothko painting. Or it's like a
sandwich by Marcel Duchamp! It questions the
essence of sandwich and language both!"[14]
