This smorgasbord of delight has just been placed aside me in bed…
Toasted and then a secondary roast to ensure a superheated molten cheese consistency. Note the pair of a more traditional jam topped (albeit an inconsistently spread) bun to offset the savoury hit.
Besmirching a HCB with jam and/or toasted cheese! You degenerate. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. I presume the military arm of the HCBOC will be around to administer the birch to you for outraging the moral order and gross abuse of baked goods.
I tried an HCB with the thinnest smear of jam today but it rather defeats the object masking the spice as it does. I might as well eat a toasted bap or currant bun if there’s going to be jam involved… Strong flavours don’t work on HCB so be gone with your marmite & peanut butter nonsense. Philistines.
However, it has made me determined to make a more highly spiced version with extra fruit this weekend.
70p for 4. Some of those we have been tasting are 8 times the price of these! These are comparable taste wise, not stodgy, nice and crispy when toasted. They are slightly under spiced maybe and they have less of a variety of fruit but bloody hell!
I looked for a different variety but these were they only ones there. It’s a small outlet in the West End and I don’t think they have a bakery in house.
