    I have no idea what 4 and c means but I don't drink tea and like my toast well done, cold with lashings of butter and either marmalade or rhubarb & ginger jam.

    Nice strong tea, brewed in a pot from leaves. Lots of milk. I don’t like tea piping hot so you have to burn yourself to sip it. Well done toast and proper butter. None of your sunflower guff.

    I know a guy who lost his job on the first day for saying that in the staff room while making tea and toast.

    Like plenty milk in my tea. Toast not fussed.

    I put cream in my tea which people find weird but never been sure why as it's lovely.

    Lemon and Lime Marmalade on Toast.

    I would call you a monster but cream in coffee is amazing so I can't see why it wouldn't work in tea but it just feels wrong.

    Anyone else still wondering what 4 and C is?

    :confused:

    Me, 2 buttery slices, with a half tin of Heinz Beans on top.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Tea;
    Put hot water in a cup.
    Put sugar into hot water. Stir.
    Put teabag into hot water. Stir.
    Once black, add a very small bit of milk; colour should remain dark brown.

    Toast; add real butter onto it, and put either jam, marmalade or honey on it. Or banana covered in honey.

    In a restaurant in Minneapolis once with 2 other guys from Ireland. The waiter was really taken with the fact that we were Irish. End of the meal, I and one of the other lads ordered tea. The waiter came out with it, and a jug of cream saying “I know you Irish like cream in your tea, so here you go”. He was so happy with himself that we didn’t have the heart to say anything, so we just thanked him and drank our tea black.

    The OP tried to attach a picture but it didn't work.

    I don't drink tea (or coffee) but like a bit of toast, preferably slightly burnt. Usually just with butter, but I had banana on toast the other day which is grand.

    I haven't had beans on toast in years but if I was having it, there must be no butter involved!

    Tea: Barry's Classic Blend. Strong. Tiniest drop of milk.

    Batch Toast - preferably the heel of it. Real Butter. Hot. Unbeatable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,858 ✭✭✭Church on Tuesday


    Medium strength (Lyons) 2 sugars. Toast (wholemeal) medium brown, left to settle a tad then butter - Connaught Gold full fat only with Strawberry jam.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    Strong tae, wan sugar. Toast lightly browned and swimmin in buttar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,996 ✭✭✭✭gozunda


    According to at least some of the climate change screamers eating toast is contributing to global warming. Ditto heating water to make tea...

    So yer all a load of carbon emitting vandals so yiz are ... :mad:

    Tea one sugar and a dash of milk. Toast hot and buttered on both sides. Gorgeous.


  • Posts: 13,712 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Strong tea, leave the bag in there while the toast is grilling. Splash of milk, bitta sugar.

    Salty, creamery butter for the toast -- spread it right into the corners.

    My Mum makes a good apple jam which is a guaranteed elixer for whatever ails ye, but that's only for special occasions.

    Then out to the back garden with a fag -- bliss & cancer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 927 ✭✭✭BuboBubo


    Black strong coffee no milk no sugar.

    Brennans toasted with real butter, none of your "spread" flora-esque sh1te thank you.

    And fcukin dairygold ain't butter, so shove it up your hole.



    Deep breath.


    I'm better now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,096 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    The little pot of tea and the two slices of white pan toast with pats of butter and a little tray of jam that appears when you have had a baby and its all done and dusted and you are feeling very pleased with yourself, and the nurse comes along with a tray. Best ever.

    Leave Lyons tea bag in mug while the brown sliced pan is toasting.
    When the toast has popped take it out and wave it around a bit like an air traffic controller, then real butter and lots of jam.
    Stir the tea, squeeze the hell out of the tea bag and remove it, add a miniscule splash of milk.
    Sometimes decide it doesn't look stong enough and put the teabag back in and leave it there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,138 ✭✭✭Gregor Samsa


    180 tae bags in a bucket. Tin pot with 10 pints of rain water boiled over an open turf fire. Pour the water into the bucket and stir with a trowel for 2 hours. Squeeze a dash of milk straight from the cow’s udder. Throw a beehive in to sweeten it.

    Am I doing this right?

    Jaysis! I'd need a flagon of cider and 20 major after going through that.

    I don't have kids btw...

    Tea and Toast is amazing when you've been away from home for a while, or maybe just out of hospital after an operation or something, it's like getting a big hug or something.

    Tea , made in an old porcelain tea pot with leaves.
    No sugar whatsoever and just a tiny drop of milk.

    Which brings me back to a time when serving my apprenticeship, when a new apprentice was caught boiling eggs in our burco for making tea.
    He was sentenced to death.

    Apologies all, didn't realise the image wasn't showing in the OP. The original one won't work, the current one is a very slight variation.

    Tea: happy with either 5 or 6.

    Toast: happy with either 2 or 3.

    But I rarely eat toast. Drink barrels of tea though. Obvs.

    C5 with butter for me, strong tea with milk.

    One of my friends was apocked and shawled that I sometimes put both butter and jam on toast. One or the other, apparently.

    Not at all. You can't beat butter and jam on toast.

    I’ve heard various English people, including Nigella, say that you should avoided salted butter as the addition of salt denotes low quality. The fuck are they talking about?

    Lyons tea, bit of sugar and milk. E5 toast with real butter.

    Addition of salt surely?

    They're obviously insane, you can't beat proper salted butter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,474 ✭✭✭Obvious Desperate Breakfasts

    Nope, salted butter. Obvious rot. Salted Irish butter is manna.

    I can understand professional chefs using unsalted because they use a lot of butter so it might mess with their seasoning but for any home cook, salted butter is the bizzo. Helps it keeps longer at room temperature too so less food waste.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭Noveight


    Tea: Lyons, made a bit on the strong side with a nice drop of milk, no sugar.

    Toast: two slices of Brennan’s, well browned, butter and marmalade.

    Job done!
