Re: heinz`s sandwich spread and toast toppers

Haha I'm one of the culprits keeping Toast Toppers in business. They are ridiculously overpriced though. I have the mushroomy one about once a month, on toast with lots of pepper. Takes me back to summer caravan holidays, when we'd have it for supper.

I like Heinz sandwich spread too, and have it on ham sandwiches. I also used to love Heinz tinned potato salad, though not the vegetable one. Hmmm I wonder if they still sell it? These were all viewed by us as treats, along the lines of primula cheese in a tube, lol.

Re: heinz`s sandwich spread and toast toppers

I like toast toppers.My dad still buys them,and i nab them as quick as i can,especially the ham and mushroom.My dad basically buys all the tinned junk that we bought in the 70's,especially bacon grill,although he substitutes it with tinned spam these days.Potted beef etc are other things our fridge is full of at times.

I loved Sandwich Spread and Toast Toppers. YUM!!
That reminds me, I also loved Heinz Vegetable Salad in a tin. A Sunday teatime stalwart in my house.

When my fridge broke down last year I had to buy a lot of non-perishable food, one item was a tin of bacon grill which I never needed to open & is still at the back of a kitchen cupboard.

Go on get the bacon grill out tonight!

I remember my Mum occasionally buying potted beef in small jars, often made by Sutherlands. My local Farmfoods has a shelf of Sutherland spreads.

Toast toppers get at least one mention in Red Dwarf.

Apparently it was a reference to the sort of snacks the writers used to eat when doing a night shift, making sure the printers at a mail order company always had enough paper in them.

Re: heinz`s sandwich spread and toast toppers

I too was force fed heinz toast toppers but never had to go through the punishment of sandwich spread, in fact because I never had it I always look at it in the shops and wonder who buys it (and toast toppers I mean who is keeping that in business, but it must be selling if it's still there)
One other thing I do remember was little tiny glass jars of so called pate or fish paste, now I did have that in a few sandwiches as a kid.
And another mushed meat product I had was tins of bacon grill, a bit like spam but bacony.

Does anyone remember "Sandwich Mate"?..I think it was made by Mattersons circa 1981.
It came in a small tin (Similar size to the now small tins of cat food!).
It contained chunks of beef in a jelly/gravy combination..Gotta confess, i really liked it.

Re: heinz`s sandwich spread and toast toppers

I loved Sandwich spread to the point where my mum said I'd eat it until it came out of my ears!

Wasn't keen on toast toppers (look away if eating ) after my Dad described it as warm sick on toast :cry:

Real butter (or even decent margarine) was "an extravagance!"

Re: heinz`s sandwich spread and toast toppers

I also had Sandwich Spread in my sandwiches when I was at secondary school. I quite liked it and only sampled it again last year. I found I still like it!

Re: heinz`s sandwich spread and toast toppers

I loved cucumber Sandwich Spread and Toast Toppers

OMG another mum who ruled the family palate.

Same here. Just the thought of Malt Loaf/Soreen and cheap margarine still makes my stomach turn

Re: heinz`s sandwich spread and toast toppers

I remember,every summer,being forced to eat sandwich spread on margarine and bread.My mum decided i had the same taste buds as her,so bought food..... Only SHE Liked! Rhubarb and Ginger Jam... Yeuch! and i felt exactly the same about sandwich spread... Yeuch! Yeuch! Yeuch!

OMG another mum who ruled the family palate. In our house there were loads of things I never ate because my mum didn't like them and therefore she wouldn't buy them. Conversley she's been trying to convince me that I like blue cheese for about 30 years!
