Crisp Sandwiches

So doing a bit of gardening today and needed a quick snack for lunch.

Had a crisp sandwich. White bread with a good amount of butter, salt and vinegar crisps and an extra dash of vinegar for good measure!

I enjoy crisp sandwiches as an occasional snack, my children think I am disgusting!

Which side of the fence are you on?

You can’t beat a good chip butty, even better if it’s made with a Scottish “morning roll” 😋 Haven’t had one or a crisp sandwich in years!

Oh for a morning roll, well fired. I have never seen them around here.
My cousin usually brings me a bag of rolls down & Scotch square sausage 😋

A crisp sandwich is amazing, a taste sensation. I cannot believe there are people who have never had one, you are so missing out. It's the different textures that are so fantastic. Susan Calman recently on one of her brilliant travel shows had her first crisp sandwich and my husband and I were gobsmacked that she had got to her age having never had one.

I am old enough to be Susan Calman's mother but I have never tried a crisp sandwich. Perhaps I should, I love chip butties.

Promise Quinoa and chia seed gf bread is the best I’ve found so far but it’s £3.60 for a few slices which they cheekily call a loaf!

It flipping isn't, merlot.

I just bought a gf loaf from a local bakery. It cost £5 which is very expensive for a house brick.

Seedy bread, thick butter and marmite crisps yum.

I’m with you, Desdemona. Scrumptious. Sometimes we just have to forget the calories.

I used to work shifts in a residential home, a crisp sandwich at 11pm kept me going blush

There is nothing like rubbish white sliced bread, slathered in proper butter with crisps or chips.

Sadly, it doesn't work with gf bread.

Not fair is it! 😩😩

The carbs! The vinegar! The extra vinegar! My eyes are watering just thinking about it. But whatever floats your boat. Enjoy.

Love them! Cold new potato sandwiches too.

My mum used to have them when I was a child! Probably still does despite being diabetic!!

hollysteers - the beauty of a crisp sandwich is the difference textures. That first crunch is amazing.

Strong grated cheddar cheese, mixed with a tiny bit of mayo to make it spreadable, cheese and onion crisps.
Delicious 😋

I'm usually a sucker for rubbish/comfort food but never has a crisp or a chip or a fish finger sandwich ever passed my lips.

I may give the crisp sandwich a go after reading this - I'm veering towards cheese and onion with cheap white totally unhealthy bread. With or without marmite I wonder - or the Dairylea triangle even.

I think marmite might be way too salty. Try plain salted crisps & the cheese triangle.

Cheese and onion crisps, proper butter and squashy bread - yummy.

Save the marmite to go with peanut butter in a different ‘once a year’ treat.

Can’t say I’ve ever fancied one, but I’m not mad on crisps anyway - except for Walkers Sensations lime and coriander ‘poppadums’.

Cheese or tuna sarnie with cheese and onion crisps, perfect.

Crisp butties are great, it’s years since I‘ve had one!

When I was young I loved a chip sandwich with butter melting no the hot chips and salt and pepper
My grandmother used to give us beef dripping spread n read with loads of pepper.
A dieticians and healthy living coaches nightmare.

Mr Soda likes a mashed potato sandwich - yuk.

Not had one of those since I was five, and mum said I would zoom off to the moon for putting mash spuds on my bread 😂

Do you crisp sandwich experts recommend proper butter or my "I like to believe it's better for me" olive oil spread?

Butter for sure, way too expensive now

Ugh, even the thought disgusts me😨Crisps are crisp and bread is soft, sounds like a horrible combination…
I feel the same about chip sandwiches/fish finger sandwiches (Steve Allen loved those) too.
I grew up with friends eating sugar sandwiches, another yuck for me😁

Oh a sugar sandwich, that’s up there with eggshells, fingernails crunchiness 🤮😂

Mt61 Sun 24-Aug-25 19:15:12

Oh cheese & crisp butty, or just plain with a little ketchup 😋
