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.

MaggsMcG- it's years since i had Heinz sandwich spread.

Is it just me who doesn't like sweet stuff on sandwiches? I'd never dream of putting banana on a sandwich, or even jam. It's got to be savoury every time.

Oooh 😮 love a banana sandwich on any bread but only fancy jam on the freshest bread.

Scotch egg sliced on crusty white bread and butter.

Delia Smiths recipe for “quick mayo” is lovely and so much nicer than even the top range.

Gem lettuce, cheddar cheese, salad cream and Marmite!

Mashed banana with a blob of strawberry jam - my favourite sandwich from childhood.

Grated cheddar and heinz sandwich spread is my favourite 😋

Oooo. Sandwich spread. I’d forgotten about that, and I used to love it! I couldn’t do without good old Philadelphia cheese in a sandwich - with cucumber and salad cream, with beetroot and salad cream. And my fave bought sandwich is cheese and onion, paired with a bag of salt and vinegar crisps. I also like a vegetable finger sandwich with cheese, salad and (of course) salad cream.

So many sandwiches, so little time!

Yes, MissInterpreted, having read these I've become aware that other people eat sweet sandwiches and , like you, I see them as savoury. Maybe that's what I grew up with?
Now that I have family in Scandinavia, I do like a fancy open sandwich , or smorbrod.

On our way to visit DH's mum in Windermere we used to stop off at a local pub for a sandwich and bowl of chips. Always had a ham, brie and Dijon mustard and a prawn mayo and apple and the chips were best ever. I still do a version of the ham sandwich when I can get some really good white bread.

My favourite Pret a Manger sandwich has Italian prosciutto, sliced tomatoes, Italian matured cheese, mayo, basil or rocket and baguette. Special treat, relatively easy to recreate at home!

Brown bread with crunchy bits, Utterly Butterly, Marmite, cucumber and garlic mayo!

Milest0ne Mon 15-Jul-24 12:06:35

Having an egg intolerance I find it almost impossible to buy sandwiches as they all seem to have mayo in. I have just discovered vegan mayo for home made sandwiches.

GoldyShineMeals Mon 15-Jul-24 19:39:06

tomato, goat cheese, pesto, any crunchy bread

Freshly boiled hot beetroot in buttered brown bread

Cream cheese and smoked salmon

Egg and cress

White crabmeat with a touch of mayo

Where do I start? I could live on sandwiches. I love bread, all sorts of bread. Favourite fillings, egg, cress and tomato mixed together with salad cream, not mayonnaise.
Ham and piccalilli.
Bacon brie and cranberry panino. (But not until my gallbladder is removed)
Tuna and cucumber.
I could go on and on!

Another fishfinger butty fan here but I like mine with grated cheese & fruity sauce. I'm also partial to a ham & (crushed) crisp sarnie.

Just had lunch

So pitta bread pocket filled with chopped apple, onion, cucumber, grated carrot and smoked cheddar.

Pretty delicious!

Lydie45 Thu 18-Jul-24 22:05:42

Cream cheese and prawn, delicious.

Witzend Sat 20-Jul-24 13:37:29

Almost any except tuna and sweetcorn - I just don’t think those two ‘go’.
Tuna and cucumber, OTOH….😋
