As a veggie I fully understand what "Plant based" means when I see it on a product, and it annoys me that it's a marketing term which has replaced the former and also perfectly well understood, Vegetarian & Vegan.  However this annoyance pails into insignificance when I see that this thread has run for almost 10 feking pages of this nonsense.  If you eat meat you don't care what they are cooked in and if you don't eat meat, you are likely to pay more attention.   Now, can we close this down and move back to arguing about toasters?

Dualit for the win, obviously.  

A good toaster has to be able to toast 4 slices of proper size bread - Mother's Pride, as well as doorstop thick slices, at the same time, with at the minimum browning controls for each pair of slices.

It also has to be able to toast ''baps''.

I'd agree with you if you could name a toaster that could handle a whole stottie cake... mmmmmm, stottie.

This is the cheapest one that I managed to find that can do stottie cakes as well as ''baps'' and Mother's Pride, when I was on my epic hunt for a new kettle and toaster.  I've actually seen this one in the flesh and working - I know a few people who have one.

You didn't say that the stottie would be large enough to feed a medium sized country.  I was thinking about the ones you get at your local bakers, Tesco, ASDA, Waitrose, Sainsbury, M&S.......

These stottie cakes looked interesting but a google search suggests they are not cake and are just bread in a weird shape? I'm pretty sure they'd still be nice though, especially warmed albeit in an oven rather than a toaster.

Had I not googled it, I'd have assumed a Stotty Cake was a euphemism or a grime song by Stormzy

Stotties - I went to university in Newcastle, 1988. I was introduced to the phenomenon of the stottie on almost day one. Amazing things. That pic is what I would understand to be an authentic stottie. A fecking huge bap. The were sold as filled butties, using about an eighth or a quarter of the stottie for each one. Fantastic things. Being from Lancashire, it was obviously only a matter time before I put a pie in one. Pie on t'bap is a Lancs delicacy. 

Newcastle was the home of the giant onion bhaji - about the size of a volleyball, for a quid, from quite a few places after a night at Walkers, The Studio, Tux 2, Cooperage, The Boat etc etc. as if 10 pints of Exhibition wasn't enough to give you indigestion, the giant bhaji guaranteed it.

Also in Newcastle was my first experience of "scraps". First visit to the chippy - do you want scraps on that? No idea what it was. For the uninitiated it's bits of batter. Also was my first experience of battered haggis, and battered sausage. Previously battered sausage was something, as a young lad, I aspired to having after a night out down the 'Burn with some local lady............

(dismal failure usually).

There is or least used to be a chippy in Huddersfield called "Wi' Bits" which meant the same as scraps

Yes the batter bits thing is prominent in black country as well.

And of course the amazing magical wonder that is...

Unfortunately 4 slot toasters that can take slices of bread as long and as wide as the one I linked to start at over £50, we spent over £200 for ours - Kitchen Aid one

Totally agree. See also barm cake, oat cake etc.

You're lucky.... I know sod all about 'Barm cakes' or 'Stotties'.



Are they plant-based by any chance ?

Depends on how you class yeast.

ORANGE CHIPS

Just realised I should clarify,  they are called orange chips because of the colour, not because of the fruit. Two meanings of orange you see

This thread has given me an idea to open a Vegan Friendly Casino.

No Oil Based Chips 

viz

Reflecting on something said earlier, I think it’s ok to mark potatoes as gluten-free, even though potatoes are naturally gluten-free anyway. It’s not saying “wow these potatoes are gluten-free”, it’s saying “btw potatoes are gluten-free, including these ones, obvs” so if people want to avoid gluten, they know they can get potatoes.

girth ftw right??!!!

Exactly. And a fat chip is less bad for you than a thin one - something to do with fat absorption to surface area - thin ones contain more fat. I dunno, but I believe it, it will do for me. Get more fatties in.
