You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks, that'd be.
Greetings and welcome on him as Marcus wats yours, HITDL twelve, Hitdle Midnight Tonight, all coming in Strong Love a Friday. Two Things, Mucker two Pies. I think that'd been under different ownership for a lot of people said the pies weren't quite what they once were. This is not some key we struggling brand that started and gone on and on and on. This is a country that's probably a company that had civial ownership changes. So I don't know if anyone's mentioned that with old Mucket two Pies, So that's just putting that out there. Then they've gone broke twice, once in twenty nineteen and once subsequently. So yeah, it's good that pies evolve and companies come and companies go. The evolution of that would be a bad thing if every company just kept going the way it was as far as pies go. And then I see there's been all sorts of people wanting to have their say about chips. How many chips you get all these stories about chips, chips, chips, chips, For start, if I see someone counting chips, you're in trouble. Who'd count chips? For goodness sake? However, what has been said by no one? How many those tiny chips do you get at McDonald's. You get about twelve and they're about nateh of the size of a standard chip. So how come everyone lets McDonald's off? It doesn't count their chips. But some poor struggling owner and Munga Pi has the weight of the country's greatest paper on top of them because of the chips. They probably struggle for nine months of the year, three months, two months, one month. They probably get to sell some chips. I'll tell you what though, Right, if you are buying a fish and chip shop and a small community, and let's be fair, they come on the market fairly often, you're doing two years, you're doing well. If you are buying a fish and chip shop in a small community. Before you buy that fish and chip shop, you join the local Facebook page and you read all the posts, and you keep an eye on who are those that who posts that community page has a lot to say for themselves. They might be a person likes a wine of an evening and gets involved in all sorts of discussions because they've got nothing better to do. They might be someone that we refer to unkindly these days, and I can't think of the better words. I'm going to use the word because you know what I mean. They might be the local community, Karen. And that could be a man or a woman. I don't know what the male equivalent is. And you look at all the posts that they do. Then when you open the fish and chip shop, you remain front of house, and when those people come in that look like they might kick on on social media, you give them quite a big serving of fries. Because I tell you what fish and chip shops the success of a small town fish and chip shop depends entirely on what sort of feedback you get from your local Facebook community community page. I've lived in communities with people have come and they've they've served a staggeringly small portion of chips, PEPs through error PEPs, through a short supply of potatoes, perhaps through just laziness or recklessness, and their businesses have been destroyed about that, And someone's bought those chips and they've posted on social media media and there's been replies in the hundreds that have gone nationwide So when you buy that fish and chip shop after you've been monitoring the Facebook page for at least than a year, then you continue to monitor that Facebook page and if there's any post on that Facebook sagees or the new chip is rubbish, you jump in there and you say, look, sorry, we just knew we're trying this, or come back, I'll refund you, and YadA yadia. Yeah, our fish and chip shop. The woman come on to run our fish and chip shop from out of town and gosh, should I say this anyway? No, I'm not going to say it. But that's the key to running fish and chip shop. It's all about social media to and monitoring that because if it goes bad or go really bad, or go really bad quite quickly. But you need to be generous with your potatoes. You need to have an own special burgher that has a nod to the community. Get some local legend name a burger after them. But you need to do big portions of chips, and you need to monitor you so because the social media, your Facebook page can destroy you if someone decides ordains that you're not giving enough chips. But no one ever talks about McDonald's, do they? And says, oh, well, there were hardly any chips there. If you weighed a small portion of McDonald's chips, I'm sure they cost two dollars. There's probably the qualit to five chips in there. But suddenly we give McDonald's even though the money goes off. Sure we give them a complete stay of execution. But oh well, some poor guy munga fi the other thing I've got. You got a lot to say about chips. I'll put my headphones on this. I'm just getting started. If you have fish and chips, and let's be fair, you shouldn't eat them too often, not that good for you. But if you have fish and chips, ever, and when I have about three weeks ago, did no, it wasn't a good experience. If you have fish and chips, the key to enjoying fish and chips is having just not quite enough chips. You think, oh yeah, could do a couple more of those, and you go away happy because you're not too heavy in the stomach and you feel fine. If you have just amount the right amount of chips, you'll be fine. If you have one or two chips too many, Oh gee, I think I had too many chips. The last thing you want to have is a hold chips left over at the end and eat them because you think you ought to as they go cold, and it'll ruin the whole experience for you. Less chips is the best chips. Trust me on this. You mind that you're getting value for money, but you enjoy it more. By the way, these days, a lot of cafes or fish and chip shops do loaded fries. You want to avoid those. I don't even know what that's about. No one asks for those. That's rubbish chicken salt, get out of here. No one wants that anyway. That's just me. I've got quite strong opinions. I'll tell you what you don't want as one of those spiral potatoes at a fair coming into Christmas, there's a fear doing a spire potato too much salt. That was the one we had a blue bet stadium or something. Anyway, enough for me. Fifteen past eight, Bob Marcus, welcome.
Hi Marcus.
Chips.
I've got to rule with the one that you were just talking about.
All of them.
If it's not hot, zip ran and go and ask for freshmats, and they've got to give it to you. As everybody will know.
Now, how do you mean they've got to give it to you?
If it's cold, you can't eat cold chips. I'm going to give you fresh chips.
You mean a McDonald's, any one of them.
The whole line.
Now, you can't get cold. You can't have cold chips. They're designed to eat. They taste too fatty if they're cold.
As soon as as soon as your hand in your pack it, I pull it chips, I dip my head and have it, buy it, and I look at them and I had the pack it back. They're cold. I want you chips and they give it to you.
You want to get one of those thermometer guns. You want to get one of those thermometer guns. You can just say, hey, forty four degrees not hot enough.
Well, I haven't been denied you, regardless of what size chips are. A kid, I always can't. I'll go back around. I don't care how long the liners. I'll even stand there before I leave the windows.
Guys like Bob that keep this tuch country strong. Hope they're not insimulating workers. But thank you, Bob. Keep it going. Sixteen past eight.
Woo.
You'll have texts and I'll get to those. I don't know if they are obligad to give you any more. It goes well with our seagull discussion, doesn't it. The chips m Marcus Penny pinches are a pain. Remoo takeaways serve up two handful of chips, one piece fish of fish caake for ten dollars fifty just finished over em. Where do you reckon Remoo takeaways are? Would that be suburb called Remoo? I know it's a tree. I'm thinking Nelson. Where do you think it might be? People don't tell me that, Dan, don't google it New Lynn, because there is a suburban Youlin, everything's named after us. Every tree is named after every street named after a tree. That's right. You've got Nicomro, Coromico and Queen Mary av It's not named after a tree, Ellen, it's Marcus.
Welcome, good a Marcus. I hope you have a great evening so far. I want to pick up on something you said, perhaps I think inadvertently, maybe in a mistake of a bit of a tongue slip. The club, Yeah, something you know, nick aside, not a bad one. Yeah. The question of McDonald's and the and the inference of the money from McDonald's going overseas as I understand it, and I do this not as someone involved in McDonald's, but a friend of mine for me years ran the McDonald owned the McDonald's and live in He owned the the franchise.
It's a multinational, so there will be franchise fees that go to the boss and stuff.
Absolutely, that's a fee. It's only, as I understand it, a relatively small amount them. Where they get a lot of judge coming to them is from the training they do, and they do do a lot of on the ground in the team development work. I have friends that are working there at the moment, at the at the local these and yeah, I just feel that we've got to be very quick to acknowledge it's the local people doing local business, just as your local chippy down the corner is doing.
I don't know that, I don't know that's quite the case. I mean, there are a giant, multi giant multition with a huge marketing behind them, and suddenly Hee was jumping on this chipy in munga fire because you're not giving away enough chips. Hearing mine, it's a Friday, it's a sort of a it's yeah, but you know, I think probably ten percent of the probably the revenue would go overseas from a McDonald's.
I think that's a fair enough statement. Yeah, that's fair enough, and I'm not sure of the exact amount, but I could always double check that and come back sometime with the correct information for you if that would be any interest to you.
Well, I'm sure that information is available online that people will probably probably, but I think people understood the gist of what I was saying. We're not putting too fine a point on it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm right with you, and it's a done good topic. The question that I've actually heard this discuss elsewhere, and they talked about the whether you get a big scoop for a small scoop of chips, and the comment came back, as I've heard it in the past, that it's the value of the chips are in the weight of the product that is supplied.
As opposed to how else could it there be any value of it apart from weight.
Well, that's exactly it. I mean, the the you know, the thought of counting the chips for instances just a bit strange, But the actual value of the product is what they what the chip is are probably recovering, I would expect anyway, that's not for a fir.
I also think probably the people that far too many chips in a small amount is probably a good thing.
Yeah, I think you're right there too.
It makes it makes it makes for a more pleasant meal experience if you're not loaded up with endless chips. That would be not my take on it.
Absolutely I can understand that, and I think I agree with it, you know, but mind you, I ending my chips nothing.
Like them I see for me. I think Marcus the Arbress told me that my cabbage tree had huge amounts of flowers as be a good summer. Have you an opinion? A lot of my cabbage trees have died out, actually, so I'm not quite sure about that. But they often say that, they say about the flex and the cabbage tree. But I don't quite know why that would be a thing, that the cabbage tree would be the poor tent of a good summer. I think what a lot of those things are is that people are just so desperate for a good summer that they look at signs everywhere. Marcus the Arbress told me that my cabbage tree had huge amounts of flowers as beaches a good summer. Have you an opinion? A lot of my cabbage trees have died out, actually, so I'm not quite sure about that. But they often say that, they say about the flex and the cabbage tree, But I don't quite know why that would be a thing, that the cabbage tree would be the poor tent of a good summer. I think what a lot of those things are is that people are just so desperate for a good summer that they look at signs everywhere. Get in touch, you on to be a part of it eight hundred eighty Teddy and nineteen ninety six. If you have got breaking news where you are, well, there's information that would be of into people, feel free to bring that through. But I'm right about the community Facebook page. I think you probably find that because I tell you what they reckon with fish and chip shops. Within two years you've done in dusted becomes extremely hard work, and I'm sure the local chippies don't spend a lot of time on advertising or anything out there. But if you can monitor and run your social media page, I'd say you've got a much better chance of keeping the community on side. That's my sage advice for you. It just cricket into your all out for one fifty after winning the toss and choosing to beat Australia's first innings underway. Now, I'll tell you the other discussion that I was trying to get going last night, but then we got going on speeding after the situation smails Road, I was appining and wanting your speculation with all those toasted sandwich makers and everyone brought probably fifty years ago, forty years ago, the ones you're pluggin right, You plug them in and they can be quite successful. However, they tend to be slightly edgy and they seal everything off, so you end up with quite a crusty thing. But I just done. I've sort of been trying those out with the kids in the last week and I've had quite a success with them. However, what I have noticed, right, and I was trying to get myself going with this, and this is the key to make a good toasted sandwich at home. A lot of the bread you buy these days is sunken. So you go get yourself self a loaf of bread and you put on the sandwich maker. But rather than being a rounded square shape. It's more like an M shape with the bottom to it. I know this sound as I say this. I know if you're going to struggle understand what I'm meaning. I don't know what's happened to the loaves. They're just all kind of sunk and as they come up the oven too quick, and I'm not quite sure the solution there anyway, So it feels like you've got to get the loaf of bread, then you've got to kind of resurrect it to get the slices of bread square enough to fit into the toasted sandwich machine as a hell of a struggle. The other thing about the toasted sandwich machine that I've been finding as a struggle is that it cooks because you're assembling the toasted sandwich right, and you're putting your bit of bread down on the bottom one as you go, and then halfway through the bottom is more cooked than the top. And then I find you need to actually remove them and flip them halfway through. And I guess kind of the round about why I'm going to saying this is am I doing it right? Or any one else got some sort of sudden hack to make the homemade toasted sandwich make is in those kind of test floonng coated wonders any better? I think the anglers. You butter the outside of the bread and you wait till they're cut right through because it will slice the bread into was The last thing you want to do is actually get out to Worly and have it just a cheesy mess. So if you've got some wisdom about that, that would be a huge amount of interest to me. So get in touch, feel free eight one hundred and eighty Taddy And it seems that it's to be a food related hour, so we'll just chuck it all. Let you the size are the chips? Who counts them? Market two pies? How long since they've been off the boil? Because much online comments have said they have been. And the key to a homemade a good homemade toasted sandwich, which I believe. I believe the key is probably the bread. And a lot of the bridge you get these days isn't fit for purpose because it's it's not square enough. It might sound that might sound that. I don't know if that resonates with you, but certainly resonated me. For the last weeks I've been making toasted sandwiches, and it's got me quite kind of perplexed. I might need to change my brand of bread. That might be what it is. I'm very much pineapple cheese ham. That's what the kids seem to like. One likes the pineapple, one doesn't. That's the way I roll. Anyway, get in touch if you on to eight hundred and eighty to nine nine texts, here'll twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome, feel free to come through. Who so, don't push two buttons again, Steve Marcus welcome.
I'm just listening to about the toasted sandwiches.
Yep.
I'm been working on it for about thirty years. I reckon the way we do them. I know exactly what you're talking about about the n bread and the.
Our secret.
You've got to buy a tip top Odalis super fixt bread, okay, and you'll and you'll find it square and it's a beautiful soft bread.
And what you do is you.
Put you put your piece of bread down, put all your something in the top, put the next one on butter that one, flip it over and then but the top.
Of the other one.
Okay, you've got delicious bread. You put the side you're super thick. You put the bread side down the toast of sandwich machine, buttered, buttered on the down side.
No, no, no, prepare it before you put it in the.
Understand, put your put your bread.
Down, put your cheese and other things on top. And when you put the lid on, but of that top side right yep. And when you when you put on the machine, flip it over so the butter's on the bottom and you butter the top side of the what.
Was the bottom?
Oh, I see, So you've got it all assembled before it goes on yep, and then you're getting even cooking time.
Yeah.
An odalish of bread is the best.
It's so soft and you.
Don't getend up with those really hard crusts around the outside as well, and what I have with.
A toasted sandwich maker. And it's been years since, I mean this is after forty years, fifty years. It's back out, it seems. Once the sandwich is divided, then it's cooked. Is that kind of your go to? Once is a clean cleft between the two bits, that's the indication.
Right, absolutely, because then the crust sort of seal just to hold the filling enough.
And that even worked with O delicious? Does it? That whole thing being cleaves halfway? Okay for a good Okay? What's your filling of choice, Steve.
Well, we're pretty tradish with the cream corn. Oh wow, the can of cream? What is cream corn?
Is beautiful?
Wow?
If if it has mints the night before, we'll put mints and you have it on the weekends if you're outside doing something, pot mints. And even the spaginion that if you have bolonnaise on Friday night, mate, put the bolonaise until your toasted sandwiches on the tailor of that unbelieveel with a little bit of cheese.
Oh my god, it's good advice, Steve. I have told the kids if they end up in prison or a student hostel, they'll live on the toasted I don't know if that's true. I don't know if you can have a toasted sandwich Meeker in your prison.
Sell.
But when I was indicating to them you can cook most stuff in it, well, I'm going to make the records. He cook most of the stuff in a cell on an eye And would that be right? I'm quite sure about some of these stories. Toasted sandwiches, the commandment, the toasted sandwich, commandments as guess what we're on to tonight. Chris, it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening everybody.
It's been a while since I last spoke to you. Yes, remember me, it's it's who are anyway?
Hang on?
Hang on, just.
Peter Nola.
Yeah, your s Marwhen you came to New Zealand and you worked in a gin cutting factory. You're very good cutter material, isn't it. You're a very good material cutter and cutter. And then you're something about the bottom of Queen Street, along Queen.
Street, Long strong Key Street and then up Emily Place.
Yeah, one of the great cutters.
You would have been here in Auckland by when you were quite young and young.
I'm still young.
Oh yeah, it's only a number of cheap So I was just listening to you.
You live up north, to remember my memories been the night think of it sometimes? Okay?
Yeah, the weather he is. I have a lot better than the miserable stuff you're living in the sound, so I'll hope you out here. I've been thought of teaching myself how to bake on YouTube, and you're talking about your sandwiches. The crumb that some bread is a dense what they call dense crumb, and others have a lot of air in it. So that's the difference between the two. But I suggested to your the old man, try vogels.
Yeah, but the trouble, I mean, there's always a vogel life there. The trouble with the vogels I reckon for the toasted sandwich maker. It's got so many holes and the cheese would go straight through that, wouldn't they.
No, it's a very dense, yeah, but.
It's also it's also it's also got holds. Has it not got holes in it? With the melted cheese would go through? I always thought vogels was a no no for the toasted sandwich maker.
Well, I really don't know what the toaster that you have, but I thought, learning from what I've seen on YouTube, the crumb is the key to it. Some bakers, some industrial bakers, have a bread. The crumb is very airy, it's very you can press it, you know, you know what I mean?
Yeah, you can press it, and that's probably I feel a lot of the loaves that you see at the supermarket now they've been stocked, stacked on top of each other, and they've been crushed or something. Something's happened to them.
Yeah, because there's a lot of air in the actual dough. So when they bake it, if you put it on the bench and you press it with your palm, it's almost like a cardboard. That's how cheap the bread is that some of them do bake.
Yeah, and I imagine that's sort of what of the loaves are now. It's really kind of a cheaper quality.
What do you what are you learning?
What are you learning to cook? On YouTube?
Uh?
How you had nothing to do when we had covid. Yell. I was looking at YouTube and a lot of bakers put the channels to teach you how to bake. Sure they are professional bikers.
Yep.
Yeah. So I've learned and I made a lot of mistakes, and today like it's funnily enough, I'll just baked some bread rolls better than the stuff that you buy in the shops. Believe it. I put my life on it. Wow, it's very pillowy. If you press it, that's the key to a good bread roll.
And that's where the that's where the that's with the dry yeast.
Yeah, guy, East, not the baker's East.
Not the baker Okay, is there is any Is there any particular biker? You learned that off.
A lot of them? Okay, you learn from all different ones, and sooner or later you'll come to get your own well, okay for a lot of mistakes.
Too nice to hear from you, Chris. I appreciate your calling again Australia fourteen for one. Tell me if you're interested, get in touch. Marcus till twelve, Scott and evening.
Welcome high Scott, Hey marketers say you mate?
Good Scott? There you going all right?
Ye're not two days a time from milk and the old towns?
Mate?
What are we doing with milking you once a day or twice a day?
We're twice a day, mate. I wish we were once today. I hope the bosses have lost and I love one today, But no, we're twice a day. It's more o fashioned. Apparently you're not in the South.
You're not the South Island?
Are you?
And channery?
Mate?
Just it's not win though, was it? Because South's been? I wonder about the dairy farmers in South because it's rained for three months and I wonder how they're coping. But anyway, you're clearly not here going.
I thought it would be quite depressing. We probably we probably fight the heat more. I'm actually calling about toasting market. Yeah, I got home.
I turned in.
I can tell you in the previous life, we got one of those young fellows working for us in a yard at im and I'd always put butter on them and Marge and you know how it always sticks to the glad rap Yes, yeah, I reckon. I like this is like Man on the Moon stuff. This young fellow came in and he put mayonnaise on them. Mayonnaise you get the golden brown toasty that you'd see in any photo. If you're trying to sell a toasty a golden brown texture. The mayonnaise works better than butter or march. It's amazing.
You have never looked back on the outside of it.
On the outside. So you do your sandwich, whatever you light, your ham, and your cheese or pineapple, whatever you coat the outside of mayonnaise, don't use the butter and Marge. I swear everyone in New Zealand who's listening, who looks a toast, he just tried it once. You'll never You'll never use bloody butter or margarine again. It goes Golden Brown Market.
Have you honored this guy enough in your circle of friends? Has this guy got the spect he descuse?
He was quite intelligent. So I ever, was he left working in the yard back in Timber and he went to Yuni? And I like, I kept in contact with him solely because I just I realized he was an intelligent young fellaw mayonnaise.
Yeah, so hang on, you said in a former life, were you working at the timber yard?
Oh?
Yeah, before I progressed the milk and towers and really advanced my career, I worked in a yard at im down the road and this young fellow came along and he was off to Yeuni, but he needed some holiday work. And first day we're doing our toasting and he's like, I use butter. I used mayonnaise, and I went mayonnaise. And then his posts came out in their lives.
Hang on, Scott, credit for you, because normally when the students there after Unie, he's sort of persona and on grad ah Yould University challenge. Well, you know, but you you could see his skill and actually gravitated towards it. You were right there for him, Scott, Are you going, Scott? When I lost Scott. That was a shame. I wasn't joying Scho. He's still there, Scott. I was enjoying Scott greatly, Scott. Can you see if we can get him back there? Then to get you back there, Scott, because I want to know some more about mister university challenge than what he was studying. But he might have disappeared.
Has he.
Gone burger? Brilliant? I never thought of maya. This is what this is why I thought this topic might be a good one. Yeah, caught him back if you can, This is the wisdom we need. Let's tell us break, we'll come back. Twelve away from nine has too interruptly, Scott. But I think you said you kept in touch with him, because so the first day and he's got the he's got the mayonnaise out. Is that where where we are?
Yeah, he gets mayonnaise And sorry, Marcus, I'm leaning out my window of the catching because it doesn't matter if I'm the start with a votaphone, we just get no reception. So I'm leaning out past my seat. But yeah, so as his name is James, and yeah, we keet to touch because I just I saw something going to mark us because you don't always rate these young guys. But as soon as he has toasts came out, I went, this is the guy you need to know.
I'd be calling it the James technique or something. You should be referring it to that.
He just said mayonnaise. He said, like it was almost like, oh, like, I'm forty eight, Marcus, and he literally he was like, oh, you're all your old guys. You're all using your butter in March. It's like just mayonnaise, and it was it.
It just makes it crispy on a bit of color.
Yeah, so it doesn't burn, Marcus. It never burns and it goes golden brown. It's I compare it to you McDonald's photos and the drives through sorry to quote the big corporate marketing machine of McDonald's, but the burgers look fantastic in the photos. It's like that you look at it and you just go, oh my gosh.
Wow, you.
He picked out the itm he had where he comes in through his mayonnaise and you'll kind of mock him until the sandwich comes out.
Oh like, you know, you're kind of like, young guy, you kind of you know, you're a bit short with them at the start. Yeah, he's got he's got nice fingers, nice cuticles. Obviously he hasn't done any hard work. And then suddenly it's smoker and he makes his toasts and I'm like, oh my god, you're like Jesus, what do you study?
Yeah?
Sorry, I went off to do a Bachelor of Science or something was way o am I head mate, Like I said, I went from the yard and progressed and cows and I thought I'd sort of landed on the gold mine. So no, no, no, James and I we like toastings is our connection.
Well, I reckon every workplace, if there's a toasted sandwich machine like that, you've always got a conversation because people have different theories, won't they.
Yeah, And I don't even call it mayonnaise now, I call it toastings and put the James on. Yeah, So I mean all you call is and there'll be people out there, and I know that people are going to make toasts, even maybe yourself, and you're going to try the mayonnaise and you're going to say, I'm going to spread a bit because you know, he's a good young fellow. It's sort of innocent. And I said, I'm spread in the James, and you know that's what it is. You've got to spread the James and you'll never look back.
You'll be up at five in the morning, will you.
Quarter past four?
Muk No? I know, I hate it.
I hate it. But when I get in the shed, cows are better than people. I listen to a bit of talkback and people about the workpace balling and all that.
Cow.
Yeah, cows they just want to get milk and they want to get back to their paddock.
Mate.
Lovely to hear Scott maybe knight, Henry Marcus, welcome, Hey.
Marcus here, are you good?
Thanks?
Henry?
Hey?
Have you those paper bag bags that you put your toasty and then you just put them in the toaster and they just caught bite toasted?
You know, I've been but I've always been a bit skeptical of those.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've always been worry the.
Plastic's gonna melt. And I'm trying to think what sort of plastic is it that's not gonna melt?
Yeah, I don't know what it is. It's kind of like, you know, well, it's not a paper, well it is kind of like a paper, but it's a bag. But you just make your sadwiche. You wanna put your toasty and you put it in the toaster and you know, a minute whatever it's cooked. It's just like a toasty and it doesn't have the like the grease.
Do you have to put your toasted set? You have to put your toaster on the side.
No, no, you know the read and once you got it in the bag, it fits in the toastal, fits in the double toastal thing we've got.
And but there's all the cheese on the the cheese don melt out the bottom.
No, it doesn't, it doesn't. It comes out like quite well, not dry, you know, not dry dry, but it comes out dry. And if we've got a breath all toasty machine and that makes lovely toasties. But if you put it in this bag and put it in the toaster upright, it comes out, you know, just like you're toasty, but it's it's just without all the kind of grease and that what are.
The bags called again, Henry, because people be listening to.
This, Oh not you. My sister got the most team and she's eat Me's under down and yeah, I love it.
Every show in the first hour team will be someone will mentioned TV for some reason.
Ah, yeah, no, they come almu so you just have a look out. Make Steve and I are mate.
Okay, nice to hear from you, Henry. By the way, I'll tell you what we're our family is getting a I think we're getting a new toaster. I've got about a toaster for three years. I think we're getting a new toaster this Christmas. And yet we're going top of the range. Not quite sure where we're going to get it, but we've had it. We've had a guts full of that stupid Russell Hobbs nonsense. So watch the space. I'll post a photo if you like when we get it. Marcus, all the new toasted sandwiche makers squash the savwich into triangles and that squashes the ingredients, making annoying to make a really good sanvwiche. Yeah that's right. But we kind of also like that as well. I think that's all the old ones used to do it that way as well. That's just the way it happens. I quite like that. I quite like that squeezing process. Yeah, I like the way it's quite self contained and portioned.
Off.
Greetings and welcome on him. As Marcus with it till twelve tonight. We've gone beyond chips and pies. It's the key to those toasted sandwich machines, the ones that will slice the bread into triangles, and how good they are. Mayonnaise, I mean, that's life changing. I've never tried it. I still don't feel quite. I mean, it took me a long time to put butter on the outside of a toasted savage. Put mayonnaise on the outside would really be me going against what I see true in this world. So I'm kind of slightly triggered by this, but I will do it and other toasted sandwich hacks, and I'm taking a lead for this from the dairy farming community because they seem to know what's going on where it's I mean, if you get up at four thirty, you know snacks, don't you, and interesting fillings. Although the other guy was putting everything and it wasn't any sound a bit rough, I said, like love, can you put anything between breard? Can't su it seems here toll Midnight be a part of it. My name is Marcus. Welcome. I'll get to the text and all that kind of carry on in moments. In moments I've got I've got a probably two hundred different windows open. At the moment, it's not going well. That's why I can't get the text that quickly. Here's what people are saying, Marcus, has anyone bought up this day nineteen sixty three? JFKs As stated No, just you, but thank you. I didn't see that in the notes, Marcus. Toasted sandwich bags are reusable, probably silicone. Very interested. Please keep it up. Go in'd you pre make first, but butter both pieces first, Put the buttered sides together. Build on that turn, put the top slice on the make with the fillings and the other slice on top. Don't understand that Scotti Vogel slice is too small for toasted savwich makers. I agree, Marcus. I think the best toasted sandwiches have done in the aluminum Jiffy iron on the convenient Guess craft cooker. Just takes the small aerosol Guess canisters. Hey, you need to make your sandwich on the chopping board. Butter to out of slices first, and then put the whole thing in the This guy's kind of nightmare with the text. It's done the same text four times, super soft tip top, thin slice so it's not too bretty. I think that's the one I used. Andrew yhe beat chees met James mayonnaise instead of butter, crisps up beautifully. Marcus, your correct bread is dreadful these days compared to what we had in the past years. Our dad worked in Davis Bakery and Dana Rk and made wonderful bread. Knoll Marcus whe all super marxists. Not having the bakery aisles at the beginning, my m bread turns into eyebread by the time I get to the checkout, Marcus, pre assembly is the key. Have them ready to go on the toasty in one go, pre buttered. None of this buttering when it's in the machine. I wouldn't butter when it's the machine. Pineapple and cheese, perfect food combo. I had cheese and ham toasted recently with Beetrix, Jutney game change and delicious.
Well.
I had one with banana and fijoa and fig jam that someone had sent me, also delicious. I like this bit of advice toasted sandwiches. The filling is best when less, no mess, and tasty. For goodness sake, what will they think of next? Eight hundred eighty nine to text Marcus till twelve, Marty, it's Marcus. Welcome your home, Marcus, heavy Friday, to you piggy pardon happy Friday. Oh thank you, that's kind. And to you beck at you.
Yeah TOAs of sandwich, my favorite at the moment is sort of left over uh, leftover fish, left over tin fish, but sweet chili tin fish.
And then just some eat them.
Cheese and some crusty bits of bread. I'm a big believer and using up your creppy bits of bread to the left behind, and the kids won't eat and then if you chuck them in the pass there was making cheese chuli fish. Pretty nice.
Who taught this generation of kids not to eat crusts?
Ah?
I don't know.
Well, they've been given some they've been given some bad information.
Yeah, I could eat ever reason, but I've heard just the craft and the like the last but stand in the life and yeah, so that's why I quite like.
So are we talking in the dairy sheet with you?
Is this is?
This?
Is?
This is?
This is this at home at home on the George foreman, George, So we have quite an industrial make a set up because we've got to do four at once at least, So we're going on the brinks that crawl.
So if you've got if you've got four George Foreman's or just one for eight.
Kids, just one to make four at once. Yeah. Yeah, and and like so tonight fin night it runs out of touch, it runs having dinner at different times. So everyone just sort of gets whatever they can and put some sandwich maker's. They go to, you're not going to be in the house down, You're not going to run. That's going to get burnt.
They must they must be pretty big turns of fish for eight kids.
No, we're just using the pot the dollars for the tiniest ones. Didn't get someone to get late like dollars or whatever it pack and say you will. So just the smallest turns and then one turn make two or three sandwiches. But the mantons and the pull off lips, and that's what we're using.
Yeah, and the kids have what the kids have were telling me to open their own tin.
Yes, yeah, and it's usually like a half one half one left on the bench or tuck back in the fridge.
And that's what you have.
That's what I have.
Yeah, clean up, yeah, clean, Have you.
Given special combinations, different names.
No, not really.
People just make their own, so we're pretty minimalists. Were quite like just mamite and cheese, or because it's like cheese and cheese and onions.
Yeah, your mama and cheese, tomato and cheese. You only want two things to get more than that. You're taking the mickey, but aren't you?
When I was going up, I went through the stage when old mom had the brand bread makers from Farmers. She went through five in a row. She kept taking the back.
What are you doing, by the way, Mary, because it's you're coming in and out. But that's all right. I'm not complaining.
I'm walking around, walking around the farm, making sure we've got guests for the weekend and it's very cold, you know. I'm just making for the heaters are on in the out buildings with guests.
Being it.
No, it's friends for teenagers.
I'd like to get into. That's my next step. Really yeah, just well, you've got Hobert and the Red Barn Mystery Creek.
It doesn't sound that exciting. What's the red Barn?
The Red Barn is the place to get married in the micas. That's a red one hundred and twenty old red Barn. We've got one, and the neighbor's got one, and there's this family. Can get that personal here, but there's a ten Marsh family. They converted the Red Barn into like a party of Indians. And then the O'slian family, Lance and Sullivan bought that farm and he's turned it into the best wedding venue in New Zealand called the Red Barn. Wow. Always posh. Rich people on their second marriage or their trophy wives come and get married at the Red Barn.
But you said you have a red Barn, so you're not co opted to this as well, are you?
No our Red Barn, I'm just walking into it now. There's still a sort of workshop with a man cave at the top. We haven't gone. We're still pretty underground with our Red Barn.
But it's beautiful, looks good.
The Red Barn done it.
Oh yes, so the Red Barn. We're going back now in time. So there was about six Red barns on the matter Firs of States Barn on the first time that put all the land off the maories, what about forty thousand acres around made matters and he made six of these red barns and it's two left, one outside of the valley and one of those other thans and all the rest down.
What if people want to hang one on at the wedding at the Red Barn, how will they get home to your airbnb? It's that's not conducive to sober driving.
Is it?
I have to have I have to have someone dropping them off or have a sober driver. Yeah, that's pretty usual.
You can do You can do that. Oh, I'll tell you what if you find yourself drink to must, just give me a call. I'll come and pick you up baby before milking? Would you be saying that?
What I do is I'm working with whatever kids working there on the night and just take them all home at once.
And your kids work at the Red Barn.
It's a good learner for them. A couple of kids, brilliant.
They seem like a good big stuff there. I'm seeing the chef, I'm saying, all of them there Bridge, she's involved, the daughters involved, all of them are there out the marketing.
Yeah, the shifts at grum people, that's pretty normal.
Looks grumpy. You want a grumpy chef?
Oh yeah, you want a grumpy foreign shift?
Nervous, So will you turn your shed into an airbnb? We do something else with that.
I'll turn my shid and my still my shd. But upstairs I've got a bit of a man cave with all the historic things on the farm, like some looking at some saws.
Like you know, put the old saws on the saw on the wall, that sort of stuff.
Yeah, with you, you put your son underneath and the deck goes on top of it. Slicyeah, I've got an old Pioneers hero system from the nineties with a suber so I've got a bit of a good down system. And the tall table from twenteen nineties from the youth group to start pool table.
Doesn't really sound like an airbnb. Sounds more like sort of a share his quarters or something. But yes, we'll work on it, mate. Nice to talk. Oh the Golden rule of toasted sandwiches. What I like about this one? Someone said textas says a lazy man toasting too many frozen pizza's face to face in the toasted job done? Cheers, Rick, Can evercado be a toasted companion or other? Limited to guacamole and sushi? It's a very good question. What about a sushi toasted sandwich, but a rice but a wassa you do anything now? No rules? Mince and cheese, Marcus. There is a Lincoln Continental convertible in Willington with a plate RP JFK Marcus. My microwave toasted sandwich made with a game change of perfect and quick every time. I think we did quite good work promoting those. Once upon a time did we give some away? It was a micro munchie? What colors your micro munchie? That's right? Were they guessing the color? Was I guessing the color? It was the first to last place in the raby was our sweep o And the question was what colors your micro munchie? Marcus, welcome pet up butter, smoked bacon and banana toasted sandwich sensational and Sally doesn't use butter anymore. The ten moments of toasted sandwich making, that's what we're about tonight, and long may that continue. If you've got something to say, then now's the time to say it. Do get in touch. I'm so slightly depressed by Marty's airbnb upstairs. If he's going to go for that upmarket, that's going to have to be more than a pull table on a two men sore on the war, isn't it. I'm sure he'll get there. Keep those texts coming. I'll get to the emails before too long. Love an email. Yep. By the way, the seagulls aren't back on the k. Will be pleased to know that no police chases tonight. Normally is a police chase on a Friday, Tanaquay Marcus. I wrote down jewel It toaster on my wishless of a million things that people have mentioned that interests me. The last time I heard you haveing discussion on toaster, it seems jewel It was highly recommended. Now I just need to justify spending that much money on a toaster.
Ha ha.
I saw some dash toasters with glass windows on the side this afternoon, which may have boosted the jewelt off the top of my toaster wishless, though, marioor and a deb I don't know where you know. I can't work out where to buy the jewel At toaster because I know now that H and Jays is gone, that's closed down, so I'm not quite sure where they're available, which concerns me because I have my heart set on them. The jewel It toaster, because that can solve all Christmas presents in just one go, which is a classic me. But what about the toaster? What about the toaster? Chris, it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening, Good evening, Marcus. How are you good, Chris? Really good?
Oh fantastic, fantastic Marcus. So my question to you is do you know the difference between the toasty and a Jeffel.
Look, I.
Suspect you're going to tell me, but I'm going to try and answer what my understanding is.
Okay, yep, yep.
I know that once upon a time we heard those irons should put in a fire to make sandwiches, right, yes, yes, And I believe it the North Island thing of what's it? I believe they were called a quick sea, which is a terrible sounding name, and it would I've always hated, for all sorts of reason, a quick sea. I mean, it sounds wrong at all sorts of levels. And I believe the Australians call a quickxia a Jeffel. Have I got that kind of right?
I think so?
Yeah? So more I kind of refer it to us when you when you toast something and it's crimped around the edges, and it keeps everything inside it swilled rather than the open edge. That makes sense, And that's what we call it.
That's what we call a quick say, and they call it jefful Is that right?
Yeah?
I think so?
Yeah.
So for me, I love a Jaffel when it comes to toasties, and the reason being everything's kept inside. You got a nice crispy edge. But what I've done in the past on our Jeffel machine is I've done a leftover nan bread. You put on the left over buttered chicken or your curry, and then fold it over and then crimp it and toast it, and you get a really crispy nan bread and then you get a really hot curry in the middle, and it just makes a delicious little left over, but in a different capacity. And I just love a leftover toasty like that.
What do you call it?
I have no idea, but it's bloody good, I'll tell you that. Yeah.
And why are you having leftover nane?
Why might well?
I Sometimes you a one extra and you say, oh yeah, I could fit that in, and then you end up just getting a bit full. You've drunk another bear or an extra mango lassie, and you've got leftovers. So no, I enjoy I enjoy doing something a little bit different with the Jeff well, being a little bit more creative because traditionally with a toasty, you know if you put something like an egg or something and it sometimes it all spews out the side. But with a Jeff where you can put ham eggs, yeah, I think if.
You're putting an egg in a Jeff all right, but you are doing obviously, yes, I think you get a spoon out and then you just push a bit of an indent into the area for where the egg's gonna go. So it's not but the yolk's gonna choose one side or the other, isn't it?
And hands down absolutely yeah, So you know, jaffle's for me. It gives you a little bit more opportunity experiment with those flavor flavor bombs. And I love it. But I don't think, I don't think.
I don't think we called it a jeffle in New Zealand.
No, I've always known them as a jeff l. But you know, you're right, it could be more of a quicksie. I've not heard that term. I'm from the North Island, so hey, nothing against me, but yeah, I just go.
I like the crypt No, I think I think.
I think jeff was a North Island I think Quicksie was a North Island experience. I thought Jeffer was a South Island experience. So and I even know what a Jeffre was.
Hey, look, go with the crimped. It's crispy. It makes a little bit different.
Chris, don't ring up here and make out even all the all night. All we've talked about is the crypts. That's what the whole discussion has been about, those machines. So we are we are, we are crypt people, So we're on your side.
I love it.
Yeah, man, love the crimp.
What's your feeling if you're not doing nan, what are you doing?
Uh?
Something about just good old plain white breads? Pretty good?
What's your feeling?
I don't mind, but feelings I love.
I like kind of making like a Calzoni version, so little bit of pizza, sauce, ham cheese, pineapple, soalami, extra cheese, different cheeses. I like experiment. I've done a list over steak in the fry of steak and onions and then putting cheese, so you've got a kind of steak onion cheese toasty. Those have always been a good one on a different type of bread. So for Kachier or listen to.
You all the things you mentioned for Carchier and Kelzoni and na. I mean you're like you like the world guides different foods.
I'm a wizard, mate, wizard.
Have you travel Have you traveled a lot?
I have?
I have traveled extensively, and my background is as a chef, so around a little bit.
I see. So it's not it's quite common for you to be saying things like Calzoni and.
Well just you know, just that fold over pizza sort of feel. And that's kind of where the crimped edge comes from. And you just got to play around food, foods and experiments, foods and art. You just got to play around and have fun with it. And I think that's where, like you was talking earlier, the crimped ditches as.
A cheapest creep. I've never known a got ring talk back and say crimp dich is so many times, but that might be the answer, I think, So, yeah, crimp is nice to talk, Chris, thanks very much for that. I did ask Scotty here again, spread the James, drain all the juice off the pineapple spaghetti. Enough moisture already, stop soggin us goodness. Marcus Sho can get the jewel at it Moore's, Wilson's and Wellington. I'm getting one for myself for Christmas too. Yeah, that's not gonna go well with a backpacking trip around the country. Marcus in the eighties and Blende and there was a toasty shop and they used vogel sliced long ways. I love vogel sliced long ways. My favorite was cheese, salami, grainy mustard, colsa and peanut. It's what amazing. Never had anything like it since Gilly Chi, salami, grainy mustard, colsta and peanuts. Never thought of peanuts. To me, that's a food crime. Peanuts and a toasted sandwich. But don't judge it till you've tried it. I guess it's the mentra. I'm just googling it to see if that's possibly a thing to be done. What are you saying? Dan Australia thirty one for four now with Travis head Bold Australia trail by one hundred and nineteen runs. All the peanuts say peanut, but no one says just peanuts. Commandments, the commandments of toasted sandwiches with the toasted sandwich machines. And it's an imperfect science because they are quite crimped and crimpy high cam. It's Marcus, welcome.
Gooday, here's a here's a real ripper rest here for your for your toasts. It's it's pretty old school because you don't even use it. No crimped edges, although that's lovely, of course, but keeps everything in, you know, but it's it's real. It's not even one of those stasty presses. You just do it all in a trump pan. Yes, I forget to order. Someone else makes it better than me. But it's just egg, onion and tomato and cheese. Got to be tasty cheese and it just comes out like cheesy and mayonnaise and garlic garlic seasoning, you know, like garlic salt, urban salt. And it's pretty simple. It's just cheesy and salty and garlicy put. I put a little bit of chili in it, chili flakes, but you can have sweet chili, but then it's a totally different thing altogether. It's better to just solf. You have that with a cup of tea, and it's the best you've put the I'm hearing.
I'm hearing a bit of talk tonight about eatam cheese. You're sticking with tasty. Eating cheese seems to go quite well people, load of the eat them.
It's bland. It's nice, but for your uncooked stuff. You know you're going to cook your news tasty cheese.
Strong opinions. Oh yeah, I feel bad I've mentioned itam, Now you shut me down about it.
Okay, it's nice if you're having a fresh sandwich with lettuce and whatever. It's it's not, you know, flaky, it's not overpowering. It's you know, it's a nice check texture and everything. But this toasty. Honestly, it sounds so simple, but it's just beautiful, especially if you if your time it all right. Onion's got to be like shopped into the little squares, not too small, not like big onion rings and stuff. You don't it doesn't get caramelized, but still quite got a good bite to them. So the little a little crispy. You know, don't overcook your onions. But I forget the timing of it.
What do you do first?
You check in the eggs if you're.
Really but it just all happens the eggs not a whole egg.
Is it? Yep?
Yep, I can get two whole eggs. You crack them into just like you're frying them. And then you you have the onions on the side in the frying pan, and then you you put the you don't want your eggs to be hard in the thing. Your mother's sort of you know, to melt a bit, I mean not melt, you know.
And you're you're pre browing the bread or you're using you're using mayonnaise, No, no, I.
Butter the bread and you put that in the frying pan. You put you fry the bread like that, and then you have all the ingredients cooking separately, and then you then you check.
It all in.
You've got a press to push down on with no it.
Just seems to sit good. Yeah, you have sliced the tomato. You don't tomatoes not cooked. Just place that in and it would be the cooking when you sit it in the frying pan and then you turn it over and it seems to get hot on the inside without any pressing or crimping or using a toasty machine. It'll work in a toasty machine, but this way you can really handle it and gether there's a bit falling out there, or be tuck that in and you know a spatula.
And I'm there with you. What time of the day you're doing this with your cap? Is this the morning or night or chip?
It's a good morning line, it's a good lunch one. Yeah, it's a it's so good man. But you haven't done it? Have you talked about it?
No, you've done it actually really well. Have you ever thought about what? Have you got any thoughts about sweet corn?
Oh, that's a whole different deal. I used to know someone who did a pizza with sweet corn from the can and and mint and it's a bit weird, and I know have.
Them quite it's quite polarizing. A sweet corn is quite polarizing.
Yeah, but it has it's got your corn out of the can and it's got uh, pineapple on a pizza. That's a big one. That's polarizing.
But I think there's two. I think there's two types of corn you can get. You can get cream corn and ordinary corn. And people are a bit funny about one and not the other.
Probably the creamed corn. I don't know how.
It's a bit fun it's a bit funky the cream corner is there a bit it's a bit weird for people. Yeah, I've never thought of having a cup of t not never thought of having a cup of tea with it.
But that's you.
That sounds good.
Well, if you've got if you've got chili in the in the and then you have a cup of tea with that, because it's salty and you've got a little bit of chili, then your tea it's got an extra. It feels like it stays hot the whole time because you've got the heat in your mouth and you have a cup of tea. It's still hot, still hot, cup of tea, you know, because cup of tea is all about the anticipation, isn't it. You know, you've got to do the whole. If you make it in the part, that's a whole big deal and you're waiting for it. But really, cup of tea, you know, it's kind of a cup of disappointment. Really, I finished, I just have it's overrated. Really, it's all about the anticipation.
Are you a shift boil the jug?
No?
But you know, aren't we all shifts when we as long as we have the ingredients available and well.
Sometimes we all have that moment there we feel like we're really in charge.
There.
It's always going, well, we've invented something. You're quite right. We do feel like that from time to.
Time investments, when you don't have the ingredients you need and you start going, I reckon, that'll.
Go well, he improvised so quickly when you're oh that that seems to work out. I've invented something, you know. I'm hearing you. I'm hearing you. Cam.
I am a French flatmate once and he we came home a bit late and there wasn't much in the house and we ended up having toasties and and strawberry jam and Best Foods mayonnaise.
What are you doing?
Mateo?
You know, we have a look see how see how invented?
You know?
And then and he's.
Good man, it's good and that Yeah, our taste boats might have been a little bit appeared, you know, it was quite what flavored?
What flavor jam?
Was it?
Strawberry jam and Best Foods mayonnaise. But you've got your sweet.
Sounds delicious, It sounds delicious.
It looked disgusting, like what the hell you we put in mayonnaise in with that but it was it was good, But I don't know how it tastes sober brilliant?
If why people have already voted Cam coller of the night, like uneven, unprompted. Have you even said whose coller of the night? They've all come straight to and said Cam's cooler of the night. I think every call is called of the night. The golden rules of toasted sandwich, and also two surprising inventions you've come up through. A Oh, I don't know, you know, we'd we'd toasted sandwiches that have worked, but that does sound good. Strawberry jam and mayonnaise. Bests mayonnaise, he said, bests mayonnaise.
Why not.
The basses dice onion mised with the egg and grated eat am, a pinch of salt and cracked pepper, to which you then add extra such as mushrooms, caxsicum, ham, salami. They can't run dharma cheese. I think it's Edam Marcus when fijoas are in seasoned fijoas and tasty cheese make a great toasted sandwich. Marge Marcus mashed potatoes, tomato sauce and a toasted sandwiches of savory, delight, goodness, it's all good, It's all important, Tony. It's Marcus. Good evening. Hi Tony, welcome. I've put you on quite quickly. Tony might be freaking out. Yeah, Hi, Tony, Marcus evening.
Yeah.
On the toasted sandwiches.
If you've both the breathe and put it in the iron pans, grape the cheese yes to put on and then flip them over once there's krispy on the outside, and then.
Just flip it over.
Thanks so much, Tony, that's brilliant. Appreciate that. I think we do great. The cheese at great and flip but that's good. And tell I've liked all of it. Keep it going. If you've got anything to add people, my name is Marcus Hittle twelve. I love it when they hit the button on the phone. That's so well to it as a masterclass the radio on and the head of the button. And I love it all. If someone sent me photos Marcus the best toasted He's done in the cast iron frying pan with a cast iron lid, vogel, extra thin Colby cheese and real cows but a quick, easy, simple and taste and cred delicious I agree, but in some ways we're celebrating the sea anchor that is the toasted sandwich. To make it. Every family's got one right in that back cove. It's worth getting it out there because it's fun. Yeah, I know you can do it in the pen and push it down, but you know there's also something about the construction of that. So yes, we shall not waiver. Get in touch Marcus till twelve. But a topic creep. Who likes topic creep? I don't mind it. It's not my favorite thing. He saysn't been much top of creeps either, going on about pans. And here I am on the cusp of saying, ge everyone's an expert, but that is what I've asked for as people with the expertise advice. What were that guy that keept saying? Crimped? But yes, I think I don't want to get caught. I don't want to go down the nostalgia road too much. But I do think that those things that you made toasted sandwiches on a fire were called quixi irons. I don't know why. It's not a word I like, but I think that's what they were called. Don't shoot the messenger and there was even round ones for a tank loaf. A quixie iron for a tank loaf was a beautiful thing, and that was the round loaf, of course, the tank loaf. And we love those who doesn't like a tank loaf. Stephen Smith out for a golden duck. It's been a great day, hasn't it? How good is that? A golden duck? Thirty seven for four Australia thirty seven for four thirty seven for four? Is it on sky?
Dan?
Why am I watching sky spall three? Don't answer? That's rhetorical. Oh gee, a very slow remote. I think it's the batteries are stuffed. Now I'm going the wrong direction on that volume on it. It's so slow you start going and then about waits ten seconds before it starts changing. I mean, I shouldn't be complaining. I'm lucky to have it. A lot of people would give their bottom dollar and have TV and only work four hours. They have TV in the background. But it's a test. I don't know if I was aware of that, so I'm sorry if I've given you half hearted news. I wasn't aware it was a test four for thirty seven. Suckers, If you got anything more to say about that, be in touch seven away from ten the ten commandments of the toasted sandwich. Although someone's try to try to say you put them in those bags, they silicon bags.
Yeah.
I feel a bit of a toaster bragg aard going about the new and when I've been threatening to get this new toaster for a long time to because Vanessa's held me to that and said, oh we're going to get that toaster. We actually seems extravagant. But to enhance the flavor any cheesy toast, use a dash of black pepper. It brings the flavor out in the cheese. What does that mean? Marcaus? That was a great beat by Tony. I wait, with anticipation in counting them, is that from the podcast? I know what that means? Can you understand that?
Dan?
What did I beep any one? By Big Tony? Hello, Bruce Marcus, welcome a cassel?
Are you?
There's been a whole meme about making cheese toasted sandwich from the guy who was starting a movie chef got trained up by some Japanese chef on how to make the best cheese coasted sandwich, and I think he and the guy who's done it about set up a food truck in a casino in Las Vegas. Somewhere in his cheese Toasty is one of his signature dishes, and I think he uses three cheeses wow emmontal Shed and one other. But there's a whole thing about how we did it and how we trained this guy to do it. And yeh, I think they used three cheeses in the sandwich and as.
Soon as as soon as Bruce, as soon as you said em and tell, I knew that was the right cheese, yes em, and Teller is delicious.
Yeah. So there's a whole thing, a whole series of posts and stuff about how this guy went about learning to make and he cooks it for his son in this movie, it's the scene, but there's this whole explosion of information on how you go about making it and what the cheese is and when you turn the fright then down and all that stuff. Anyway, it's rather what's the movie?
What's the movie?
It's called Chef. It's about a guy with disillusioned being a Michelin star rest chef and to re engage with his son, he started a food truck.
Okay is it?
What?
What?
What I'm formated on.
You can get it on anything. But there's a clip of the how he makes the cheese sasted sandwich on YouTube. So if you put Chiff movie cheese sasted sandwich, the whole scene is on that little clip.
I'm a big fan of obsessions. Never apologize about your obsession. You should lean into them.
Because I had to eat about one hundred and twenty cheese toasted sandwiches to work it out, so it wasn't without its cost.
I can tell you that, okay, and you've nailed it.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've got it down. But you've got to get the right seat of cheeses and I kind of went away from it. I figured I'd eating too many cheese TOAs. It's like having ten big Macs. I don't need another one.
We think years we're thinking of opening a food truck. Halfway through it, you think I've got to share the love of this.
It's on the dream to have a food truck. It's certainly in my requirement.
I'd like to have a food I'd love to have a food truck.
You know I'm well into a food truck, and you know I work in the school holidays and get my grandchildren to come and work for me and do the coramandel coasts in the summer and the skifields in the window.
What's the summer.
Coramandel coast along on the beaches there?
What would be your product?
Gees singer to poutine, it's a it's a guaranteed seller. The people coming home from a night out?
Did the did the cheft? Did the cheft? Do it in a fry pan? He didn't do it a toasted sandwich maker?
Tod he he didn't have the squeezer.
But I think the cheese combination is there for you.
Well the other two I wanted to say, and.
Chea but it may have been parmesan either. I can't remember. I can't but they were three cheeses, in't it.
I feel sophisticated just saying em and tell so many times, thank you for that very much, perus. I pray, yeah, never apologize for your obsessions. I don't mean to say what I think. Well, we need to respect also other people's toasted sandwich choices and means of cooking, and I include myself and that also too. But you the m and teal one boy, oh boy, that sounds good. Doesn't it. So enjoy saying the world definitely been hanging on there forever. Greetings and welcome, it's Marcus. Good evening. I definitely hello.
I'm just real to say about I used to make quicksies from the children for school lunches, and I used to put peaches in them, and they used to love them.
It's a great idea. Ah, And I had them at school lunches as well, and that's I think. We used to make our own for school lunches because it was quite an exciting thing to do.
I just amazing. We used to have an open fire and I used to cook them in mat, playing the peaches and put them on and they said loved them.
Were the ions always around or were they something that was just suddenly developed and was everywhere? Or were they always a thing?
Yeah?
Okay, thank you for that.
Definitely not really not sort of the Q and a person. But that's good. I mean, yeah, peaches. I Reckon definitely got out our own preserves too, wouldn't she? Millions of peaches peaches for you. Get in touch, Marcus till twelve. It's all about the ten commandments of the toasted sandwich, but the most earth chattering thing is you don't use butter use mayonnaise on the outside of them. Seems like an American thing that but people are raving by it, so why not if they're raving about unraving about it. I'm not going to be contemptuous of people's decisions, So you SA, that's what we're on about tonight. Eight hundred and eighty to nine two nine two de text Marcus till twelve I eight one hundre you know the rest the drill. Get in touch if you've gotnything to add to this, and get ready for the Q and A. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Some of the texts, oh, Marcus, good program. Don't mean to darken the time, but I'm really really angry. Hoggart has announced resuming live animal exports without the promised public consultation, so barbaric Nikki and the government has said there'll be a gold standard of ships. They've got no idea what the gold standard is. The other thing too, reading today about live export, there's no demand for it. China's got all their cows they need, so it's kind of it's kind of pointless after those six thousand cows and forty two crew died. Was pretty horrific. But yeah, that's I don't know why there's so hell bent on bringing it back. There's no public will for it. The Wolfes don't want it. Ships of convenience coming in anyway. So yeah, that was a weird one that because it seemed to be it doesn't seem to be something. It just seems as though the governments brought themselves a fight with that one. That's my type. Well, I think that I remember speaking to a member of parliament about that once and he said that we are in a difficult situation. He's in because we do need live exporting, because we bring cattle across from the Chathams. Marcus, since you're in the kitchen, how often do people clean the air fryer? Good point, we canna answer that, Marcus. Not listening tonight, as I made it to the Queen Charlotte track, amazingly have some silk coverage. I saw some mountain bikers on the boat with those toasted savages from picton. They looked amazing in person, more amazing in person. Right back to listening to the more pork sharda heart who I left at home, don't drink and fry. Get a toasty maca for Christmas Marcus. It's when the caller keeps the phone with the ear nose or finger. I counted five one night, very unique. Yes, Dad and I have counted five. That was a record. The best tomato, the best toasted sandwich is cheese, and what is baked beans? Untoasted? Big toasty fan here. Usually make four in the morning, two for breakfast on the commute, two for lunch. No cupboard space here, so no crimped edges have to go to the press as I use it to cook a lot of other things quickly and conveniently, burgers, hot dogs, fritters, even tariarchy cumera slices twice as fast in a press. Two recipes to share dip the bread and with eggs, then ham, cheese and Japanese mayo with tomato relish. My go to without egg is tasty cheese, beetroop relish, Japanese mayo and pistrami. If out of pastrami, then pineapple slice or two long pickle slices are the next best option. I think that person might in Japan. Do Mainlanders make cheese rolls and a toasted sandwich maker. I don't know about that, mind you. I saw on a pop up bed that Pharaohs that supermarket, but more expensive. They're doing cheese rolls, which I thought was weird. So it's sort of become a nationwide thing now. Anyway, Good evening, Neil, It's Marcus.
Welcome Goday. So my uncle Roger brought up about forty or fifty irons which toast the os with handles that you put on the electric stoof. Yeah, and he went to Vancouver to live, and he went south to Seattle and sold the wall for one hundred dollars each.
Wow.
Wow, there was all rage. It was a massive fad for while over there.
So what ye are we talking? Nineteen eighty So they were in New England invention, were they? I presume they were?
Well so as well? No, maybe Australian.
I'm not sure I know the Australians. They called them a jeff alarm. But yeah, I'm sure I precid you have someone else. I'm sure someone else will know more about occasionally see them in a second hand shot.
Yeah. Unfortunately for him, ten years after that, well he actually met a girl over there and got married right and then in nineteen ninety he went on a Mountain plenty expedition, which all of our family were expected to do from very young age. You know, I did the three in the middle of the island, but all the family, including Hume, were raised that way. And he went on a Mountain plenty expedition north of Vancouver and had a four and breakfast.
Back goodness, and was paralyzed or.
Yeah, paralyes yeah, yeah, yeah, And then of course, you know, eventually there was some couple of other injuries, minor ones for the ank or whatever, and risks, and then later on he was put in arrests home or he had money, he had a lot of money.
He had a lot of money from the.
He had lots of money anyway, Marcus. And then he went to a rest home in Vancouver and died there in nineteen ninety six.
Well, because Sad Toasted Sandwich writed story in some ways, isn't it.
Well, I don't know if there's a mold to the story. Perhaps perhaps you know, if you're gonna be a bit swift about making a deal, just be careful that, you know.
Yeah.
Do you think he ripped people after the overture? I think there was Karma.
Yeah, he ripped a few people from America, I think so.
Yeah, it was the whole family mountaineers.
Uh yeah, we're all are the US. Six kids had to climb that edgecomb when I was about seven.
Oh, hang on, I've never climbed it, Kim. It wouldn't be that hard, would it.
No, it's not that hard. No, in August, it's reasonable.
Is it public as owned or is there you never hear people? Is it on private land? Or is there who doesn't want climbing? Edekin? Is it volcanic?
No?
No, you're thinking of nantel Will, which I'm not going to thinking of anything.
But but it is a cone, isn't it. It looks it looks volcanic, doesn't it.
Yeah. I climbed Nantel Were and we were trapped there for two days by a mess of storm.
I'm finding all this quite interesting.
The Arrow Street climbs were paved on area and now they were a piece of cake. I was with a group of forty.
After all, you're still climbing.
No.
My original dream when I was twenty was decline killerm and Jarro and an opportunity arose six months ago. Someone's over there and over there one hundred miles south in a little village here mainly happen on cell phone through a friend and asked if I would go over and the former party. But I think now I've just reached the age where you sort of detached a bit about a lot of things, and you're not as aggressive as that.
I've never felt the love for kill him and Jarrow. I don't know why it's liver been on my raidar. I don't know why.
Well, yeah, how you have a bucket list when you're twenty and you know, yeah, I think.
Your bucket list changes because you're actually prior what you find out. The things you enjoy change.
Also, yeah, that's.
Oh yeah, I enjoy you know, talk back radio. This is my five hundred and twenty fourth call since I again super Scrapers.
You count your calls? How do you count them?
I just keep checking it on the calendar.
I just tick off a box over how long?
Oh?
Since nineteen ninety nine?
Who was the first person you called.
Ewing Stevens?
I think it was.
Wow, father Ewing?
Does it?
Do you ride on the calendar? Which person you've called?
Yeah?
I do.
And Tony Amos has got about forty calls.
I love Tony on you thought Tony was great? Well, actually, big Tony.
Actually you're the best one market. Come on, now you are, because.
Come on, we're talking that things like you and Steven. I mean he was the godfather of them. A dawns.
Yeah. But Marcus, you have strong opinions and you see it through on what you feel and what you see is the truth, which you know. It takes enormous courage, he says, going.
To watch out for the trolls. Okay, yeah, okay, Well that's interesting. Look, it's kind of what you're saying. How many calls have you done?
One hundred and twenty four, biggy pardon f one hundred and twenty four.
Since nineteen ninety. That's over twenty four years. Is it like twenty a year?
Yeah?
I do have a break for one year in two thousand and three. M Roman is on a lot of extra work this year. I don't want to tire him at all, I say. My gunnessin tells me that he struggles sometimes and that I'm not really sure the reasons why.
Okay, probably discussion for me to have that probably, Yeah, that's right. He would enjoy it. Do anyone bear you from talking to them.
No, not that I'm aware of.
Your called international stations.
In jan Chuez and who.
As it overseas talkback shows.
No, but a friend of mine contacted was it HC JB HJCV ACJV or something in California and on his special radio and made a commentary, well, five.
And twenty four jeapers creepers, Neil okay appreciate that. So that call was going to go there talk about anything anyway. There's been another wicke in the cricket Australia of four seven forty seven for six wow, trailing by one hundred and three. They are contesting it. We'd have to, wouldn't you. L b W No doubt about that at all. It's middle between middle and off stump, leg stump, it's clearly egg stump. It's clearly a wicked it's got the snicker, it's got the man, it's got the whole shooting max match. The Commandments of toasted sandwich is what we are rambling on about tonight. I'd like some interesting combinations that you've invented. I've never heard some of different foods mentioned. What was that got calzoni? For those that watch parks and recreation. There was always in jokes about Calzoni. Calzoni is a pizza folded in half. I think I don't quite know. It's kind of quite a polarizer calzoni. The kids like it because they can get them at the four square quite cheaply. If I can't be bothered cooking, it's the Calzoni. It's a bit of a heat meat. I think it sounds exotic to them different generation. But do get in touch if you wantnything to add about the commandments. The commandments of the commandments of toasted sandwich is but the takeout is James and the mayonnaise. But I'm sure or and the second takeout is the jam, strawberry jam and mayonnaise. Both of those are very good things to talk about. Well, both of those things are good discussions. But if you want something else, have you got something else, get in touch, Marcus till midnight.
That's me.
I weight one hundred eighty nine text. Good to hear the George Forman grill mention. You know hear that mentioned much these days? Oh Tyson. He didn't go the grill way. He went medical marijuana or not recreational merit got his own brand. It seems to be working out well for him. Good evening, Jaden, it's Marcus.
Welcome II Markers State and how are you?
Yeah? Good Jade, and you got yourself? You sound good on yourself because a long time lest man, Oh that's a big day. How did you feel about that guy that called five hundred and forty times?
Yeah?
Oh man, I've been loving it.
I've been loving it. I just wanted to touch base. What's the toasts that you've.
Been talking about?

Yep? And I was like there he used to.
Make me.
Eggs cheese and hands.
Yeah, and with the egg and going in a hole or was it kind of disco fired and adult rated?
He separated the yolks and it had the egg white.

Well, I've never heard of him.
And just what do you do with.
That's around from you?
He's just.
The What would he do with the yolks?

Because I would imagine you guys, say put the yolk in and not the whites. Cool, that's where it's going to go. You a bit freaked out, You bet freaked out the radio Jade, but love you to hear from you. You keep it going people. If you want to talk Lily, it's Marcus. Good evening, Hi Marcus.
This is an easy one I do. I just saw the time, and everybody loves them. And if you've got crust stare or bread or anything you want to use up, I do cheese and onion and a food process, and I put an egg with it, and I spread it on the on the toast or bread, and put a put of bacon or ham on the tomato and pop it in the oven. And they're absolutely delightful. You got a name for it, sort of semi mouse traps us.
The amazing thing is it's all about cheese and cheese. Amazing how it melts. There aren't any other foods that melt. I guess it's all the fat, but cheese isn't. She's amazing.
It is amazing, and the egg makes it puff up. It's beautiful. Tell us what you do again in the in the in the blend, do you put in the food processor. I put cheese and an onion, and then I add an egg to it, and then I spread it onto the bread. It's good, a good way to use up old crusts and stuff. Kids love it. And then put some bacon or some ham and some tomato and pop it in the oven about one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty and that way it cooks on the bottom as well and bubbles up on the top. They're beautiful. Everybody loves them.
But I guess you couldn't call it a toasted sandwich, could you.
No?
But if I make a toasted sandwich, I'll make it in the frying pan.
People say that too, But yeah, oh they they're.
Much better because it eat the inside of the filling as well.
But we respect all cooking and.
You don't lose all your filling outside.
Yep. Okay, Okay, here we go. Okay, thank you, Lily. She's shaming us with the makers, isn't she get in touch? Marc Still twelve o eight one hundred eighty thirty, nineteen ninety The text, what have you got we're here for? There might be something different you've got We're here for that also we're here for the lot. I would imagine there's people living in small apartments and all they're doing is living on toasted sandwiches because you haven't got the oven heavy. You've just got that kind of machine that you can do get quite adepted. It'd be a good restaurant, wouldn't it, where you can like a smallers board, but just for toasted sandwiches or the fillings are there. Yeah, orthough idwise like to restaurant just does toast. Oh, eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty, what's the time?
There? We go?
Looks like there's another wicket they're hugging. Have I got another wicket?
No?
It's amazing how low some of these scores are these days, like teams going out real cheap gold Kiwi fruit and cheese. I'm hearing you, Marcus. I made seventy two calls to the Great John Laws and Sydney one year, got through once. Chris. Wow, if you tried to seafood chowder toasty, that's Salvey Marcus. He must have a lot of calendars, yeah, wondering about how you get some all done. He must put the number next to the thing. Could you ask if f and c is still operating in Coramandle. It's a fish and chip caravan. Marcus just done a mayonnaise stick with the butter. I'm gonna try South and cheese rolling my sausage roll making, not sure how it'll turn. Usually grill them. Marcus. Best toast is ever in the seventies. Whole loaves of bread, cut thick with fried bacon, a running egg fry, the sandwich in the drip. Bring La La. Not often we've seen La La, but we're seeing them tonight. La La, Get in touched. Marcus Still twelve. The Toasty Commandments, dumb dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb dumb. The toasty Commandments? You got someone? Are they dumb? Dumb dumb dumb dum dum dumb. The Toasty Commandments? Get amongst a Marcus Still twelve. Oh, by the way, there was black Friday. I went to the warehouse before work. Didn't feel very black Friday. Is it even a thing in New Zealand? Dad, I don't know.
Is it.
Friday of a week? Early?
There you go.
I think I was a sign that said black Friday. Sale A lot of kind of I just need to get a pencil sharpness I wasn't in the warehouse for long. There were there are a lot of like Christmas T shirt. Oh I look terrible. Some of the stuff just junk anyway, So yeah, it was quite I'll get it freaked out by Christmas. So yeah, that's the situation. There a lot of chocolates, lot of clothing that's Christmas themed. Brilliant hack from Lou. When Lou was making toasted sandwiches for her children, she would and she was just left with the crusts. She would turn the crusts inside another wicket in the cricket seven for fifty nine, so it would look like it was bread on the outside, but the crusts would be hidden. She'll get taken to welfare of doing that to kids. Goodness me, if you want to talk about that, that's what we're all about. My name is Marcus. Welcome eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and text idiots Marcus. Good evening you day, Marcus.
How you get on?
Good?
Thank you?
Ready? Hear you getting on?
No, I'm pretty good.
Not to bear for a Friday night.
Can't complain, that's what people can't complain. That's what people say. Absolutely, what's your topic is? It toasted sandwiches.
Well, yeah, I'd like to raise a bit of a topic and maybe get a few people with opinions as now on sort of a four pillar type or you know, the source standard the four pillars of a good toasted sandwich. What people put the list?
Okay, so here's me. Okay, the four pillars right, Cheese, yep onion, agreed, Tomato, and ham. You only need two or three of those, but you need two of those. Otherwise you need cheese and one other.
I think we're pretty much on the same page. I reckon I'm struggling for a fourth. But cheese in ham, I'm pretty lock going on.
Yeah, and tomato because it's cooked. Tomato can taste quite, it can go thermonuclear. You wouldn't give it to the toddlers. But oh sometimes get a bit.
Of here's where I throw the spinner in the work you're going.
To don't say, don't say cream corn.
I'm close two but relish no.
No, I don't reckon it belongs. I mean these days are those disco ones you get, you know, those sort of a gormet. I don't like a gormet toasted sandwich because I use it sort of japata or sourdough bread, and it's too the breed's too crusty, and they're too hard to eat, and it all just falls apart. I like something contained.
Contained is exactly what I'm after.
I like their opinions.
I like that.
But someone said tin spaghetti is the fourth controversial.
Well baked beans was also going to be one of my four pillars as well. It's a hard one. There's good options out there.
I reckon a lot of the thing about.
This is just me.
If you're starting to open tins right then you've got half the ten left over, you've got that sharp lid hanging around that talks to me, then you've got to get Then what do you do with a half the tin of spaghetti? To you gotta put on in the fridge. I don't like a half tin in the fridge. What do you cover it with? I just don't like the whole go the whole hog?
You go to go the whole hog.
I don't know.
I don't know about that. I just but that's me. But I think we're I think we're set on the four.
I'm interested to hear the opinions of the Kiwi's out there. I'm looking forward to the chat.
I'll probably be saying beetroot or something really controversial. We'll find out that no one said beetroo. That's a good thing. We live, We Live, We Live, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty texts. I like Daddy's energy, gave it a go. Has cooking with mayo always been a thing. I've never heard of it, Tina, there's no alternative. Marcus toasted bacon, mushroom and cheddar cheese. Delicious toasted cheese and oyster Sadi's are the best. Love your show, Okay, i'd I'm going to try a toasted cheese and oyster. Haven't got any oysters at home. Probably I've got some white paint at home. I might really kick out this weekend. Someone said a pineapple ring as deaf as the fourth and I'm inclined to agree. I sent the kids to the shop for some pineapples today. I think crushed pineapple is better than a tin than a ring of pineapple, And funny enough, I think crushed pineapple or pineapple and a tin is better than fresh pineapple. Yeah, but I'm inclined to agree. Someone says pineapple is definitely the fourth. The fourth pillar be a good reality TV show? You get famous shifts to make the best toasted sandwiches, would it be a good TV show? Most TV shifts are good because they're in livele of enthusiasms, So good, aren't they? I mean, you're going to be a good performer to be a good TV shift. You got old sweary, you go the sweary guy, and you got the mock knee. Oh could be good real and some of the locals. Yeah, someone said mushrooms the fourth for sure, Marcus. Try putting the cooked toasted sandwich in the oven for five minutes makes it crispen really delicious. Works well with your top four ingredients shown, It can't be good butter Do you have been full bordered on toasted sandwiches? Good evening, John, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Hey Marcus, how you're so nice? All right?
Yes? Good?
Thank you?
John?
Looking forward to the weekend.
Yeah, yeah, it's just just toout. Time to go, isn't it for the weekend?
Yeah?
Your toasted sandwiches. I just going to go to bed ifing. Oh help, I've got a body ring you again after eleven o'clock.
That's the scene.
The other night about indoor basketball. But tonight the sandwiches, I reckon, I make the best one. I get the bread out, which is frozen out of the freezer because we don't eat bread very often, and I butter it with Alavini, one of those those butters. And then in the meantime, I'm throwing a couple of eggs onto the hot plate, and that I would.
Put some.
Mashed potato from the last night that we didn't eat, and I'd throw a couple of gurg and slices on there, and then I put some ham, throw a tomato, and then i'd salt and pepper that and the eggs are finished. I take the eggs off, throw them on there, put the top on, put them on, and cook them. When the brown you eat them. Having the egg there makes the huge difference.
I was just still thinking about whether you thawed the bread or not. But you don't need to do you.
No, no, you don't know.
Even tho I'm making a sandwich for lunch, I was. I always use frozen bread time time it gets onto the table outside in the hot carry carry sun. It's it's pretty to weet, it's beautiful.
Hang on, well, you were saying, meshed potato from last eggs, mashtato from last night, gurkin. Then I got it.
You know, put the best potato, best potato on the bread first, you've got it buttered. On the other side, put meshed potato on this half a cent to be of thick. And then you put your girkin slices, you know those slices you buy, and then you put your hand and then put a big slice of tomato, and then you cook the eggs, throw the eggs on top, put the top on, and put it back under the kriller.
So it's cooked on the griller. That was the key. But it's not something that toast the sandwiche machine. It's on a gorilla. Is that right?
Well what I said, No, it's a toast. It's like a Fisher pikel where you break the lead down on it.
Like a George Foreman gorilla flat grill.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. You need to borrow.
Yeah.
I won't be out there in the sun because the weather is not good. You got me with the Kerry Carey sun.
John.
I'm happy about that. But thank you. It's delightful to talk. Get in touch, Marcus Till twelve gram it's Graham Marcus.
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus. Yeah, I've just had the most delicious for tea toasty sandwich from the White Lady and kay wow ham cheese, onion and beetroot.
So they now got a shop, yes.
And k Road and last thing, Saint Kevin's Arcade.
Where did that happen?
It's probably been there twelve months or more now maybe eighteen months.
So it's just like so rather than okay, so they're actually they're actually because they were round on sort of Commerce Street or something, weren't they. They kind of got to have lost.
They've still got that the mobile one downtown there. Yeah, I think Commerce Street has been sort of ducking around the streets there with all the improvements and roadworks going on there, because the.
Last one I had there was actually this is down at the I think it's Gorse Street or something.
Yeah, that was.
A State I was walking. I was working in town, I was working at Zi'd been working back to the walking back the Old Man's and I had one of those State ones and I just thought that was I mean, they're the best of the business, aren't they.
Well, anyone that comes to Auckland and then asks me about where to go and that, and I said, well, I always say you haven't been to Auckland until you've had a White Lady burger or toasted sandwich. They are the best by far.
And a fourth slice of that's eighteen dollars or something, is it?
No?
That toasta sandwich I had too was twenty dollars ten dollars each and it's not bad, but they were thick there. It's filled me up really nice.
And what about the Broadway Diner? Do you rate that?
Is that that's the one in new Market?
Yep?
Yeah, Well I used to live in pepper Kura and we used to come to town quite a lot. I've been going there for years. You always used to stop off and get a burger on the way home from Auckland years ago. Don't go there as much now, but every now and again. Yeah, they're okay, okay.
Where are you living now there, Graham? Are you in that zone?
Great?
Lin?
G Yeah?
Perfect, you know you're living the dream?
Yeah?
Do you get the bus home?
Yeah?
Yeah, got the bus up, got my got my toasted sandwich chips and I lie shake and then jumped on the bus. Came home and ate it.
Course just and rang you living in the dream, Grahame. Sounds fantastic. Nice to hear from you. Thank you, Bret. It's Marcus.
Welcome evening, Marcus. Toast the sandwich overlow from the bakery. They're about six inches high, adreges widen that twelve inches long, and I cut it on an angle an inch thick.
Start the beginning. I missed the first word because it was a different word. It wasn't the words expecting.
But the overloaf, the bread. You get that big overloaf, super fresh, and you got to cut it with a proper bread knife, but you cut it on an angle. So your sandwiches are about teen inches well and inch thick. Yeah, and used butter, proper butter. Don't put it too hot, good butter burns. Put it the nice and slow cheese and onion. It's the best thing you ever had. The bread is so soft, don't squash. I hate those toasted sandwiches that squash it. And once you get you the beautiful bread and hit the cheese and onion or cheese and point apple beautiful.
Which way is it over? It's not a tank loaf. It's over like a v in a life or is that what they call a Vienna life or something.

Has it got to name that loaf?
No?
No, I wouldn't know. If she goes and buys it.
Cook she's buying the loaf, and then what goes what goes in it?
Well, cheese and onion or cheese, and I don't know. I don't like to overdo it. Sometimes you have to bite the hand and you pour a whole thing out.
Yeah, I like I like it to be more contained. I don't like too much in it any more than that's a waste.
Yeah, finally top kept it them. It's a change of cheesing of onion.
One of the things I'm not going on.
Yeah, Okay, Pineaple's nice.

But the great news is that what's name Stephen Smith, Steve Smith, He's gone out fred duck, golden duck, first ball. So you gotta love it, don't you. Yeah, gotta love it. So that's I'm excited. I'm more than excited about that. So that's what's happened there. He's gone gold. And we're talking toasted sandwiches. You want to be getting hungry. I'll go home and have one. And I imagine in our family that I probably got a week with the kids liking them, and they'll probably get bored of it, but they like it at the moment, and I'm sort of enjoying, like renewed confidence with feeding them. You got what the kids, you gotta them bold, you've got You've got to have sort of choices that don't mean anything. Oh you want to go there? Oh you want to Oh you think you got the pineapple? Okay, Denny, Oh I like that, they say. Ooh, Marcus, a great Florida toasted sandwich, cornbread, silver side, mustard, cheese, gherkins. Marcus, I liking that butter and a tanne together on toast. So I think a toasted sandwich would be delish with Natella going all warm and guwey diced onion and stir fried steak strips, fried and little soy sauce and coriander. Then putting a toasty with grated cheese. Delish. A lot of people saying delish. Marc has been listening to your chat about toasted sandwiches. Currently outworking doing security was fitting peckish, even though on my weight lost journey, I was dying for cheese and onions to got the missus to quickly whipped way up one haha. I bed an extra klometer on the treadmill. Tomorrow, put toast and toasted two eggs, add some chopped tomatoes and spinach, black pepper, salt. Put in the pan the eggs and cover on low heat for two to three minutes for both sides. Put some peanut but on the toast and omelet and and joy. Doesn't sound like a toasted sandwich, Marcus. The best toasted sandwiches come from Angels Cafe and Charles Street and Papa Toy. Toy shall pretty much make it any way you like services delightful. Can't be the ham and cheese toasty. The lunch bar near the Hotahuhu rail workshop Hollow Eg Hollow Legs lunch bar did a beauty on your way to work in the late eighties. Wow, yeah, goodness, Hi Klaus and Sarah Jane. Oh someone's mentioned sardines finally. Hello Jenny, it's Marcus. Welcome and good evening. Oh Johnny, sorry my fault, Hi Johnny, Marcus l good good, Thanks Johnny.
That's all this toasty chip mate, It's got me fingers.
Go ahead.
Can I get a definition of what a mouse trap is? Because I feel like up and down the nation, especially difference between the North and South Island, they think of it differently.
Yeah, I don't.
When you get a mouse trap. I don't like how soft the bread is. For me, I like a mouse trap. The bread's got to be toasted then baked, so it's a really rigid kind of a a fear.
Are you like that?
You're ringing my bell market, I'll tell you what. I always toast before I grill.
Of course you do. And some of those ones is just like a soft but of bread with milk. It's really disappointing. And I guess they don't keep that well, do they. If they're in the bay. If they're in the.
They end up like a bad pizza base. If you don't toast, they fall through the middle.
And they put too much different stuff on them.
Also, I exactly exactly like a bad pizza. They load it up, they use it as a vehicle, and.
I don't like that.
And there's like capsiceminal sorts and it doesn't even cook through it, and it's just like what's going on there? And you're starving so you buy it. Then it kind of goes limp in your hand. You think, well, hang on, what's going.
On all over?
It up, but it's fallen all over the place.
It ends up too much. One of my favorite mouse traps back in the day.
My my, my mom mused to cook it to them, old lady.
Just marmite cheese grill.
That's it.
It's it's beautiful, mate, and it's as old as time, and it's beautiful.
It's all you want. You don't want anything. You don't want any of these messive and they call them a doorstop or a famous for our giant mouth never wants a giant mouse trap. They just want an old school just mar Islanders.
They get all fancy with it.
They're throwing in this cream corn, body, onions and stuff, mate, marmite cheese, gril, hard cardboard eat.
I don't think, really anyone should be buying crem corner. I don't know what use, what it's what its purpose is.
It's yours for throwing in the skit.
I just mentioned it to be controversial on talk back because you can get people kind of but yeah, it's kind of. It's we isn't it.
I like your style, Marcus, love it good only Johnny?
Think you agreeable? Johnny? Neil Marcus welcome, Hey, good evening.
How are you doing good?
Thank you? Neil.
Do it as so that the ultimate toasty for me is a tin tuner with grated cheese, some down the English ale salad cream mixed in toasted dumb beautiful.
Does it go hot? I've never tried the tuna like that.
Yes, it's like a tuna cheese melt. It's absolutely delicious.
Because I think I've kind of seen more of those ones as an open type situation, not in closed with both slices of breed. Would it be a fear appraisal.
It's the ultimate toasted cheese to me. You can have it open, you can have it closed. It's absolutely delicious.
Is it quite an American thing? I feel that the Americans you go to a dili, that they've always got all that sort of stuff all ready to put on your breed.
Well, I'm the most Manchester boy from Manchester, England that you're ever going to get, and.
That is the go to.
That is absolutely the one that you would go to if you were walking down the streets of Manchester.
Man Well, that's quite a traditional thing in Manchester.
