I don't know why the toast was better. Even though you might have a corner that was a bit blackened it still had a lovely flavor. Also the best scrambled eggs I ever had were cooked over a campfire. I'm extremely fussy about my scrambled eggs, they can't be even a little bit over cooked!

I also think the bread was tastier years ago, we used to have doorsteps cut off a large bakers loaf so the outside of the toast was dark and crispy and the insides soft, hot and yummy spread with real butter (if we were lucky) if not margarine, but it all tasted good. Today's massed produced bread would be no good to toast on the fire, it is so plastic and rubbery it would probably melt... Grin

A week or two ago I bought a loaf of bread a multi ceral  type from one of the local "bakers" and when I got it home I tapped it on the bottom to test it ,it should have sounded hollow .It did n't and I had to finish it's cooking .It's not the first time that's happened ,I'm sure that the local bakers do n't know how to cook bread or to test to see if it's done ,a nice brown crust does n't mean much .

I call the doorstep a heel and i used to love having it toasted with lots of butter. Yum yum.
I agree about bread not being what it used to be.

Thanks Mel for your wishes we are cooking nicely....so wonderful to have heating again.  Smiley
The engineer arrived and he had the wrong circuit board Roll Eyes  thankfully he had one in the back of his van.
One of the radiators had to be repaired too and the engineer will be back to fit a new valve which is going to be a difficult job as the boiler is so close to the wall. Nothing is simple these days.

Pleased that i don't have to see eye specialist now for six months, whoop whoop, it's been a pain going every three months for the last couple of years but i'm not complaining as i am so well looked after.

I used to like that crackling sound as the bread browned rapidly over the hot coals, nothing quite like that sound.
