Like saveloys with Marmite lathered on top.
One of his favourite dishes, actually.
"Don't knock it till you try it," he said.
Till (49), star of television's Kiwi Kitchen, was in Balclutha yesterday to whet the appetite of 160 rural women who turned out last night for a Clutha Week for Women gathering, at the Rosebank Lodge.
While fellow celebrity cooks like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver are making a name for themselves with complicated and fancy meals, Till prefers to keep it simple in his kitchen.
And a glance at his shopping trolley during a visit to a Balclutha supermarket revealed a weird and wonderful assortment.
Sighted were free-range eggs, olive oil, saveloys, Marmite and some fresh salmon.
Rice crackers were tossed in there, as was some sandwich sliced bread.
Pleasantly surprised by the popularity of his television series, Till said he hoped it encouraged more people to dabble in the kitchen.
"Everyone eats; we all have to have a relationship with food. Hopefully, it's a fun one."
But that did not necessarily mean complicating people with massive recipes containing all manner of ingredients.
There were very few foods he disliked, although he admitted he was not a huge fan of mashed parsnip and swede.
Food for him was more about cooking for others, and seeing the satisfied smiles of people well fed and who enjoyed their meal.
Last night's event focused more on talking about food, although he did don an apron and cook up some basic meals for the appreciative audience.
And for fans of Kiwi Kitchen, Till had good news and bad news.
While that series may not return, another cooking programme is in the works.
