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. smile

Not mundane "printmiss" to love a classic.

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?

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

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

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.

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. smile

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

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.

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

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?
