Remember when you bought a loaf of Mothers Pride , buttered (or marged) it and made ham or cheese or fish paste or (posh this) egg mayonnaise sandwiches? Now a single sandwich costs more than the MP, butter and the fillings. But some are really worth it. Favourites? Bacon, Brie and cranberries or Coronation Chicken for me. Humble cheese and pickle too as long as the cheese is sliced not grated which always tastes of sick to me.
Am a sandwich lover. Bought ones probably Bacon Brie and cranberry, or Coronation chicken. At home I often have simple cheese and pickle (no favourite there). Never tried crab yet …. My love of sandwiches started early because apparently I was out once with my mum and her friend offered me a cream cake which would have been a real treat at that time. But my polite reply was “No thank you, I’d rather have a meat paste piece” “piece” being what we Scots call a sandwich.
Egg and watercress Mashed banana and marmite Fish fingers with salad cream Thinly sliced beef with horseradish I don’t often eat a sandwich so consider one a treat.
I too love anything with Marmite, but yesterday, I was at a bit of a loose end to find something for lunch - when I took a notion for a crisp sandwich! Haven't had one for years - so it really hit the spot!
Currentl shop bought sandwich obsession is Wensleydale and carrot chutney on multigrain (M&S)
But always loved egg mayo with cress, or salmon or crab spread (with cucumber a squeeze of lemon (essential) and on crusty rolls - the type that only live for one day break into smitherines when cut.😋
OR proper ham on aforementioned crusty rolls with just a speck of Lee & Perrins.
And last but not least thinly sliced home roasted beef (preferably with dripping) if only! - dab of Coleman’s or sometimes raw sliced onion on firm white sliced bread.
Don’t appreciate fridged ones though much better at room temperature
JaneJudge my daughter used to love egg sandwiches with salad cream when she was young. Unfortunately no one would sit next to her on school coach trips as they couldn't stand the smell.
For me it has to be crab sandwiches with granary bread or crispy bacon with white toasted bread.
So many to choose from. Lots of lovely suggestions on here, but pickle, except for sliced pickled onions is the kiss of death to any sandwich for me. Favourites-a demi-baguette from Lidl with sliced egg and sliced tomato.
Sliced banana on buttered bread, not fussy about the colour of the bread.
Hot bacon on a toasted, buttered chive and red onion bagel. (So much easier and cleaner with the air fryer.)
Almost any sandwiches will do, many of those stated here I quite like frivolous crustless finger sandwiches served with a cream tea, in fact I prefer them to all the tiny cakes served on the to tier above the scones.
Cheese Wotsits and mayonnaise. Cheese and Onion crisps and mayonnaise. Bacon and tomato and mayonnaise. Tuna and mayonnaise. Yes, I like mayonnaise with everything. Including my dinner.
Almost scared to ask this - when you say dinner ?
All dinners except anything with gravy Pammiel. No wonder I've got high cholesterol! I do have a light mayo though.
Ooh, so many. Egg mayonnaise with chives, ham and tomato, coronation chicken, crab with cucumber, cheddar cheese (with tomato, not pickle), bacon, BLT - but definitely not fish fingers or fried egg.
Pammie, you must photograph and post the results of your mission
Will definitely post pics when they come out of the oven - most probably Sunday. I can almost taste them for Sunday breakfast with fresh coffee. Hope they live up to expectations !
I rarely buy a sandwich but my own favourites are (in no particular order)
coronation chicken, Cheshire cheese, spring onion & mayo smoked salmon, cucumber and tartare sauce Turkey, cranberry and stuffing
All on thinly sliced buttered homemade wholemeal. 😋
You’ve reminded me there of the Christmas dinner sandwich - turkey and all the accompaniments. I could just fancy one now!
Does anyone remember the episode of Friends where Monica gives her secret of the perfect turkey sandwich - an extra slice of gravy soaked bread in the middle. I’ve always wanted to try it but somehow there’s never enough gravy left !!
I have to eat gluten free bread so there’s not much choice (if any) if I’m buying a sandwich but at home nothing beats a plain ham and mustard sandwich on white bread.
