    Make it yourself!

    Under a grill, toast both sides of a slice of white bread. Place the slice of toast on your kitchen top and put your hand on top.

    Using a bread knife, slice the toast in two width wise.

    Put the untoasted sides under the grill.

    Easy pessy! ;)

    You could have been clearer in your instructions.

    Edit: Seriously though (and this is probably heresy in this forum...) - wouldn't regular sliced pan toasted in the normal manner qualify, given that sliced pan probably did not exist when this was invented?

    Not your ornery onager

    I toast my 'regular sliced pan', remove the crusts, slice it in half diagonally and then laterally to make 4 thin triangles. Then I put it uncooked side up under the grill so it dries out and curls up at the edges making it really good for scooping up paté etc :)

    Regular sliced pan isn't thin enough, that's why you have to slice in half width wise (or laterally as wiki puts it!)

    I agree, but you could experiment with a very thin slice of sliced pan and put it under a very low grill, so it dries out and crisps up all the way through.

    Mind you, cutting it laterally and grilling the inside is lovely.

    I have bought it in both Dunnes and Supervalu recently. It is always in the cracker section near the ryevitta.
