Beef Paste

[neuron]

Just bought a jar of Princess Beef Paste. I haven't eaten it for years but it takes me back to the days when my dad used to take paste sandwiches to work with him. Those were the days with bloater paste, crab paste, chicken and ham paste and sardine and tomato paste all to be found in corner shop shelves as well as crab and anchovy variants. Haven't seen a bloater in the fishmongers for years!
Anyone else a fan of paste sandwiches? Other than spreading on bread, I really don't know what else to do with my beef paste. Any ideas?

I'm not a paste fan, but you might be able to use it to stuff small mushrooms with. Or in jacket potatoes. Or to stir into pasta or rice.

I remember having the Princes ones in sandwiches or rolls with either tomato or cucumber as a child. Haven't had them since.

Years ago Mr BD used to make beef paste sandwiches with sliced, raw onion and piccalilli on and then toast them. He loved them but hasn't had one for ages. Might remind him when he's trying to think of something quick to eat.

At guide camp in the 80's we used to have a campfire tea of fried paste sandwiches, I think chicken. Yum!

I also like a beef paste and raw onion sandwich, sardine and tomato paste has to be on toast.

we had paste sandwiches i think, something to look forward to on a boring sunday. when one wasn't allowed to do much,

was your family very religious emmie? We used to have lovely sundays.

Used take beef paste sandwiches to school - I didn't know they still made it, may have to hit the nostalgia trail.

My old man used to love bloater paste, but I haven't seen it around in years.

I'm partial to little chicken and ham paste. Makes a nice sarnie with some lettuce.

My nana used to give up salmon paste sandwiches sometimes. My Dad referred to it as 'Kitekat'.

As a teenager I loved 'Toast Toppers' . Found some in a pound shop and on a nostalgia trip tried some -disgusting! lol!

Does pate count? I often get crab pate with my online delivery. Delish!

APG, Just reminded me, my Father used to refer to it as kittyKat, too! :-)
I used to like the salmon & beef one.

I make my own with left over meat, I enjoy on toast and crusty bread.

Bloaters sound good.

I've literally just had a mug of Bovril... if that counts. I used to like them, especially crab and sardine and tomato.

My favourite was Sardine & Tomato.
We used to take them on fishing trips or Pic'Nic's in the countryside.

As well as princess spreads I think Shipman's was the other main rival brand.
