Lets get the coffee brewing

Its going to be a lovely day.. so I'm taking the opportunity to not only do "ordinary" laundry.. I'm washing bedcovers and blankets ready for the colder months ahead... and all the towels. My washing lines will be full

Pilchards on Toast

Im always looking for something different for breakfast.. I mean there is only so much oatmeal or strawberry jam on toast one can eat.. or maybe not. Anyway I was skimming through "Eating for Victory", a collection of Ministry of Food Leaflets from World War 2.. and came across the section with breakfast suggestions. And there nestled on the last page was a blast from the past... "Pilchards on Toast" and maybe the simplest recipe Ive seen for a while

Wow..vI hadnt had that for years...and after a quick rummage in the pantry I found a tin of sardines. Not quite pilchards but they are hard to come by because of over fishing. But the taste is almost the same 

After blowing the dust off, I made myself a tasty meal of this tinned treasure on a couple of slices of National Loaf. I didnt use butter, to me it was just as good. It was so yummy and I thought it would make for a quick lunch too

Needless to say pilchards are now on my shopping list, and wont be relegated to the back of the cupboard again

1 Tin Pilchards (15 oz size)
4 slices of buttered toast

• Divide the pilchards on to the four slices of toast
• I mashed them slightly in a bowl first
• Place under  the grill broiler) for several minutes to heat
• Enjoy!
