Seems like it is 250 years since the Earl ordered the first sandwich.
Hard to choose a favourite... tinned salmon is pretty good, as are sardines. Tomato, avocado and a few basil leaves is a great combination.
If out, the Pret chicken and avo is my first choice.
What's yours?

I do like BLT and smoked salmon with cream cheese, but isn't there something abolutely wonderful about a chip butty? Got to be on thick, white sliced bread, with thick butter and chip shop chips with plenty of salt grin

Fish Fingers! How sad but that was comfort food when i was ill when I was small- it has to be white bread too!

Egg mayonnaise with cress on buttered wholemeal or granary bread or bap. Similarly either smoked or poached salmon with cream cheese (or phili light if I'm being moderately careful).

DD took me to the Savoy for tea some years ago as a thank you for something I had done for her. They served tomato and pesto sandwiches, crustless, with finely sliced beautiful white bread.

Apart from that, a home made BLT with thick granary bread from the village bakery.

Brie and walnut on decent grain bread. I also love tomatoes in anything especially when they have been made a while and the bread has got a bit soggy.

Brussel Sprout and Marmite.
