You can't beat 'doorstep' toast done on the embers of an open fire and covered in butter (or margarine when we were kids as butter was for special occasions); Likewise, fresh crumpets also tasted better that way. Oh happy days !

Roasting chestnuts on an open fire, mind you my Dad once managed to get some into the fire, they don't half go off with a bang if you do that, Mum wasn't happy with bits of chestnut flying round the room.

Still have parents brass toasting-fork here....Now it's used to toast on the multifuel, whilst wearing a welding glove as defence against the heat. Baking potatoes turn out well too.
