Happy 250th birthday, The Sandwich - what's your favourite

Mine has got to be Chicken,garlic mayo and sweetcorn on mutli-seeded bread or cheap and cheerful egg mayo easily pleased me

I think mine would have to be tinned tuna (in sunflower oil, but drained), mayonnaise (not too much!) and sliced tomatoes with a sparing sprinkle of salt.

Sea side sandwiches...... egg and tomato, even with sand in at the beach!!

Hot crispy bacon and runny egg on buttery soft white bread! Dripping down my fingers! I'm such a pig

BLT

Mine is home made bread which I make so it is chewy, similar to Turkish bread, topped with pesto, avocado, Kalamata olives, oven roasted capsicum, mushrooms cooked in olive oil with garlic and spinach and fresh coriander. I sprinkle cracked pepper on the top. I love it and nothing is as nice for me.

Faye just my sort of thing - sounds lovely!

Apart from wanting that one, my favourite is always mozzarella and tomato, on ciabatta, slightly warm. But only from time to time; one slice of bread a day is my ration.

Ariadne we could virtually enjoy a nice lunch together as we have similar tastes.

I would just opt for crusty brown bread with a lovely strong cheese and Branston pickle - think perhaps that shows hold mundane I am.

Mmm - lots. Brie, bacon and cranberry; marmite and cream cheese; prawn, lettuce and mayo; cheese, chive and mayo; sausage and onion... how many calories so far?

Not mundane "printmiss" to love a classic.

Tuna, cucumber, black pepper and mayo on multi-grain
Grated cheddar, spread of horseradish topped with crunchy lettuce.
Cold chicken, rocket, p&s. mayo
Anything with humous in
Grilled warm aubergines and crumbled feta with a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkle of parsley. (My current favourite).

Umm - hungry already! They all sound so tasty.

To-day its the bacon and egg toasted sandwich that I am just about to devour with all the rind cut off of course glassjust in case you are watching

Faye big conference in Sydney year after next, after which we want to see bait of Austraila. We'll pop in!

Peanut butter and banana, closely followed by avocado with crisp streaky bacon on top (or underneath, depending on which way up you have the.... oh, never mind)!

I love BLTs, bacon and avocado and prawns with mayonnaise or marie rose sauce.

Sidetrack
When I was recovering from emergency surgery the year before I married Mr absent, he visited me in hospital and I told him that I was very much in need of BLT. As I wasn't allowed to eat anything, he assumed that I was still muddled by morphine and gently corrected me saying that I meant TLC. Silly man, I meant BLT – they are his initials.

I forgot to add bacon and roquefort cheese.

Melted cheddar cheese and hot fried mushrooms. First had in a Miami Shopping Mall. YumYum.

Chicken and cranberry on white farmhouse bread; mature cheddar and homemade chutney on seeded wholemeal; roasted vegetables on ciabatta or being very naughty, bacon or sausage and tomato sauce in a crusty roll.

Egg and tomato; cold roast chicken with loads of butter and salt; crunchy peanut butter with thin slices of raw Bramley apple. Starting to feel really hungry now ...

I will look forward to your visit Ariadne I"ll make lunch!

I don"t think I have a totally favourite sandwich , DH at lunchtimes asks what will we have and it is usually fish , so then we decide , he makes the best sandwiches in the world . , with crusts cut off . Although having said that we were at DS and DIL"s this weekend and DS made lunchtime sandwiches ,. and I have to say they were superb , just right , so maybe he has learnt from his dad [smile smile smile]

There's a lovely pub called 'The Sun' at Crook near Windermere. I don't need to read the menu, it's always their yummy 'Ham, Brie and Dijon mustard'. Mind you, the bowl of their chips alongside is another treat. DH goes for the Apple and Prawn Mayo.
At home a tomato sandwich with Heinz salad cream on white bread, transports me to summer picnics in the garden, many, many years ago.
Can a feel a trip to the kitchen coming on.

Just about to make a sandwich of wholemeal bread spread with marmite, two slices of pork lunch tongue, with a bowl of lettuce, sliced onion, baby tomatoes, and celery with mayo on the side. Mmmmm
