Is this a strange starter?

[Bevziibubble]

I've been looking at the menu for the restaurant we're all having Christmas dinner at on Christmas Day. One of the starters is onion soup with.... cheese on toast! I've never heard of eating cheese on toast with soup before, I thought you usually just have bread!

Has anyone ever heard of this? I didn't know if it was just me who thought it was a totally weird mix!

Is it cheese on toast or cheesy croutons? It's quite common to have onion soup served with cheesy croutons (which basically is cheese on toast)

It just says French onion soup with cheese on toast. I had visions of a bowl of soup with a slice of cheese on toast at the side

Yeah we had soup with welsh rarebit at a pretty fancy restaurant once, it sounded strange but was delicious!

 

[Lellow]

I was gonna say, maybe Welsh rarebit

It's cheese on toast on the soup

I never had an onion soup without the cheese toast on it, I thought this is how it's served?

traditionally onion soup Is served with a cheesy crouton which is just a posh way of putting cheese on toast i guess.

I've obviously not eaten at enough fancy restaurants!

it actually sounds really to me. I would NOT enjoy this...this is why I hate fancy dining. Good old fashion burger for me anyday!

It's French onion soup, always served with toasted bread (like a large crouton !) and usually gruyere cheese and then gratinated.
I make a very nice one, quite time consuming though!

It defiantly should not be a slice of warburtons and Red Leicester floating on it!!

Thats what you have with french onion soup, my resturant I used to work in served ir daily ans omg is it yummy.
You just dip it in the soup or leave it in to soak up the soup and go soggy, the taste just goes so well tegether
