Mad, or genius?

[Drago]

In a recent thread I touched upon an earlier escapade I had got myself into.

Some years ago the Missus caught me making cheese on toast by putting the cheese on the bread, laying the toaster on its side and cooking it. I'd been doing it for year, but had evaded capture until that moment.

My Missus promptly told everyone we knew what had transpired. Opinion was split 50/50, pretty even male/female split as to whether I was indescribably stupid, or a genius the highest order.

What do you reckon?

Genius up until the moment that you got caught, but it goes downhill from there.

A similar thing was mentioned at my work's fire lecture, only I think it was beefburgers. Turns out hot fat is really really flammable.

Not bonkers and not genius just to bloody lazy to use the grill

What about all those folk living on or near the equator... Their toasters are always on their sides, therefore they don't have to semi invert them.
Unlike the Aussies where toast immediately falls out unless the spring things hold it in..

Bark at the moon bonkers, but I didn't need to know about your cheese on toast escapades to work that out.

What a great idea, I would never of thought that, our grill is so low level we don't use it.

Brilliant idea, beans on toast not so.

Grated cheese mixed with mustard and Worcestershire sauce on toast melted under the grill is nice.

I cannot believe you have to cook for yourself, what is the world coming too.

We already know you're barking, next you'll be trying to run a truck on chip fat.....................

Call that a disaster? There's a guy in the pub I work in who came in with a burn across the bridge of his nose. He had got back from the pub the night before and fancied cheese on toast, but couldn't be arsed to put the grill on. So he'd lain the toaster on its side, toasted the bread lightly, placed the cheese on top and carefully placed the whole lot back in the side-down toaster. All rather ingenious until he got impatient and decided to peer into the toaster to see how it was getting on, when he was suddenly reminded in abrupt nose-searing fashion that eye-level grills do not normally fire their toasted contents at your face when they consider them done. I forgot to ask whether he opted for Worcester Sauce or Mustard.

Truck, running on chip fat?
Not so difficult, really.
Getting the lye and methanol might be difficult.

Several years ago i actually caught one of the younger members of my team doing this in the job canteen on nights.
He was living in lodgings at the time and said he did this in his room so he didnt have to eat with his landlady as she scared him.

I pointed out that should he set the bedroom carpet on fire and subsequently the house that she would do more than scare him not to mention what i would do to him after he had served his time for arson.

I tried the toaster cheese on toast method twice around the mid-1970s. It worked the first time. The toaster never recovered after that.
