According to the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) the cheapest lunchtime meal in Britain is the toast sandwich.



(This shouldn't be confused with the toasted sandwich, or toasty. A toast sandwich, popular in mid-Victorian times, consists of two slices of bread around a slice of toast. The meal, which will cost you 7.5p to make, was first promoted by Victorian food writer Mrs Beeton.

Here is the recipe:-

Bon appetite!)
