The Newgate Novel and Condiments on Toast: Citation Needed 1×02

http://techdif.co.uk – We’re going highbrow this week. Or at least, we’re trying to. It all falls apart when Matt suggests some unusual toast preferences.

  1. So does "toast" mean something completely different in England? I just put butter on toast (sometimes peanut butter as well).

  2. Can anyone dig up a digitized 1850s face-book so we can see, and also so I can verify that this was indeed a thing?

  3. onion & mustard on white bread -poor nurse sandwich. also tomato & mayo.
    i can see eating either without the veg.

  4. On toast, one at a time: avocado, jelly, jam, mayonnaise, butter, marmalade, mustard, relish, salsa, Nutella, and yes, even vegemite!

  5. (8:00) You should look up Swedish sandwich cake. There's a lot of non-common things put together as a giant sandwich, served as if it was a cake.

  6. Somebody tell Gary to put chicken soup on a 10" bread roll. Chunky preferred. Also, bread dipped in pasta sauce is absolutely fantastic — do you like pizza? What if the pizza dough had complex flavors and textures instead of generic cardboard?

    Also I don't know what changed to make this available for free but loving the series so far.

  7. 7:13 Interesting, there is now a band called Just Mustard, which I find funny when put with the earlier conversation about furios strumpets

  8. Some of my favorite moments are where Tom hears or reads something and it takes a second or two for him to process and react to it;
    notable examples are "Drive through pie shop?" and "Mousemat?"

  9. Big fan of salad cream sandwiches myself
    I've also had salad cream toast but it's not as good

  10. I want Gary to know that I am currently, as I watch this, thinking about going down to the university dining hall and making a ketchup and mustard sandwich on white bread.

  11. I've had condiments on toast more times than i can count (mayo and ketchup on wholemeal bread). I'm now considering piccalilli.

  12. One of my favorite bits is how one of the three will say something as Tom's talking and Tom'll keep going for a few seconds before whatever asinine thing he's just heard makes him pause.

  13. About the door knocker: "And then let any man explain to me, if he can, how it happened that Scrooge, having his key in the lock of the door, saw in the knocker, without its undergoing any intermediate process of change — not a knocker, but Marley's face.
    Marley's face.  It was not in impenetrable shadow as the other objects in the yard were, but had a dismal light about it, like a bad lobster in a dark cellar."

    The origin story of Lobbo?

  14. Viewer from the future here: I've loved ketchup sandwiches all my life.
