Best ever cheese on toast

Hmm. Potatoes; cheese; cups of tea; lighting  fire. OOOH. There is proper snow outside, but I am fading a little so for an emergency tea, something in bed alone or when just ravenous...

Get some good crusty brown bread. Don't make it too thick or too thin. I like to toast it very lightly first. Now layer thick slabs of mature cheddar over it and grill until bubbling - possibly with the edges just a little charred. Transfer to a plate - preferably a warm one - and then douse it quickly with Worcestershire ( Worcester!) sauce. Not drown, mind. Eat quickly, probably with drops of the sauce running down into your lap. This is excellent with some thick slices of unsmoked back bacon to one side, too.

That's it.
