Sandwich fillings?

For some reason I fancied a change today for lunch. A real change from my usual. I don't know why but I craved it! I spread Lurpak on two slices of wholemeal bloomer then squashed up creamy goats cheese on one side and topped with sliced pears and black pepper. Top slice on, press down and eat. It was wonderful. The saltiness of the goats cheese was cut by the sweetness and crunch of the pear. Yum. ?
Any other suggestions for a wee change of sandwich filling?

Cream cheese mixed with grated apples, chopped dates and grated carrot.

A simple one I haven't had for ages, whisk up an egg and fry in a bit of oil or butter until it's set and just going brown. Place between slices of bread and eat as the butter melts!

Bit posher, Brie with cranberry sauce. Sometimes with a bit of lettuce.

Went retro recently as I bought a tube of Primula cheese and prawn (flashback to youth). It was yummy in wholemeal bread.

My friend Steve says there is no food which cannot become a sandwich filling! Pot Noodle is one of his favourites. I was partial to Vesta Beef Risotto on white bread and ( thick) Lurpak.

I loved my auntie’s banana and Cadbury’s Flake sandwich.

Baked gammon, ground, mixed with mayo, few leaves, on toasted seedy bread, spread with mango chutney.

Blue cheese and celery is nice creamy and crunchy texture

Turnip sandwiches?! Cooked or raw?
Also, I can't get to grips with the possibility of mashed potatoes or beans in a sandwich!
I know that there are people who like a meat pie roll. I kid you not. I've even heard of 'pie floats' in Australia where pies are served in pea soup. Not sure if that's just an urban myth though.

My favourite gourmet sandwich is , sliced Camembert and cranberry sauce in a toasted panini roll, delish!

Our local deli does some delicious sandwich fillings,one of them being Stilton with rocket and pear.Another unusual one is Pastrami, emmental,gherkin and mustard. Haven’t tried that one, but it sounds interesting.My favourite is prawns in chilli mayo. Very tasty but not so easy to eat ‘delicately’ !

Strawberry mint and black pepper sandwiches, philly instead of butter.

Gorgonzola and peach...

Jamcee Sun 14-Jul-19 13:16:05

Bacon and marmalade on whole meal bread.

ninathenana Sun 14-Jul-19 12:58:29

One of dads favourites peanut butter and shredded iceberg lettue.

Nannytopsy Sun 14-Jul-19 12:51:51

Grated cheese, finely chopped celery mixed together with mayo.

NainGymraeg Sun 14-Jul-19 12:50:50

Brie with sliced red grapes on seeded loaf. Nice with bacon too if you want meat.

Riverwalk Sun 14-Jul-19 12:42:38

I think the latter was a joke - maybe not hmm

Riverwalk Sun 14-Jul-19 12:41:09

Mashed potato, beans & gravy sandwich? shock

There was previously on Gransnet a meat pie sandwich grin

Terri823 Sun 14-Jul-19 12:40:46

My favourite is tin of salmon, drained. Garlic salt and pepper and Branson pickle

Bijou Sun 14-Jul-19 12:38:36

Homemade fruit bread with cheddar cheese. Cheese and Marmite on wholemeal bread. Corned beef with Branson pickle.

BlueSapphire Sun 14-Jul-19 12:31:01

Ooh, left over mashed potato with brown sauce!
Marmite and butter is a favourite.
Fairy bread was a children's favourite when we lived in Australia - white bread and butter thickly sprinkled with hundreds and thousands.
DGDs love sausage and bacon with ketchup.
A friend's favourite is grated carrot and tomato.

Ranworth1 Sun 14-Jul-19 12:30:01

Marmite, Heinz salad cream, Cheddar cheese & crisp lettuce.

DanniRae Sun 14-Jul-19 12:21:16

My favourite sandwich is cheese and Branston pickle.
I also like Laughing Cow cheese spread and sweet corn or celery.

Purplepoppies Sun 14-Jul-19 12:19:00

Warmed up left over mash & baked beans sarnies ? if you want to ramp it up, smother it in gravy. Oh yummy.
I used to enjoy dairylea and jam on toast. Use the dairylea as butter.
No I wasn't pregnant for either concoction ?

Evie64 Sun 14-Jul-19 12:15:36

Mmmm, this thread has made me hungry. Plain crisps, crunchy lettuce and mayo between two slices of wholemeal. Or what about avocado and bacon, that's lovely too I worked with a lovely girl who used to bring turnip sandwiches to work, I kid you not grin

TheOldDear Sun 14-Jul-19 12:10:46

Cheese coleslaw, no butter.

Esmerelda Sun 14-Jul-19 12:06:14

I'm with you there Jane10. Don't much like sweet things and love savoury sandwiches and cheese scones. Your update to this thread made my mouth water ... mmm! Also I never adulterate toast with jam, marmalade or honey; it's just butter (NOT a spread) for me.
