When I was growing up, Maggi bought out Tins of this yummy stuff that you spread on toast and then grilled. I was talking about it the other day. Does anyone else remember these and what flavours there was, is there anything on the market now like that?

Cheers

Was just thinking about these the other day! There was definitely a mushroom one, and I think a cheese one - apart from that, I can't remember. I think this would have been in the 70's ?

Not a Maggi toast topper, but if you can find some Portugese sardines, mash them on toast with a few drops of sherry vinegar. Pop them under the grill until they are all bubbly and then eat. Magic!!

Going off on a Tangent here, I have used many kinds of vinegars in the past but have never come across sherry vinegar? and Portugese Sardines, I love sardines and usually by the King Oscar brand, they are small and delicious unlike those others you can get. One of my favs is Sardines and cheese grilled on vogels.

Arguably the best sardines come from Portugal - they aren't really small, but they have an amazing flavour.

Sherry vinegar is used a lot in Spanish cooking. They make a lot of sherry in Spain and I guess it is much the same as wine vinegar being used a lot in France/Italy and cider vinegar being used a lot in the UK. Sherry vinegar is dark brown and has a real sweetness. Not as intense as balsamic, but more than red wine vinegar.

I was going to say that in NZ we'd be using beer vinegar, but then I remembered my Mum's big bottle of brown malt vinegar...

Oh goodness,Kerry61, the minute i read your post i could taste them! I had forgotten all about them. Mum used to buy,i think, a chicken one? Oh they were good.

Yum, they used to bubble on the toast when they were grilled. I wish they still made them

So do I !

I remember it well... It would be 40 years since I've had it. I think it was stopped in the mid to late 70's. I actually contacted Maggi about 6 months ago via email. Unfortunately they have no plans to bring it back.... Maybe we could start a facebook page for it to be returned?
