Sounds good - I recently discovered tomato and chilli chutney - that would work beautifully. I frequently use Hellmans instead of butter when making a sandwich.

I'm on a roll now. This isn't about left overs - but an aunt of mine gave me this as a tip years ago and I do it all the time:

Mix good quality mayonnaise wink with fruit chutney in equal quantities and smear over unskinned chicken breasts before baking. It is tasty, adds flavour and provides the necessary oil (fat) needed for roasting. I do the same with whole roast chicken.

Chicken and grated cheese mixed with mayonnaise (Hellmann's proper mayo definitely is the best for this) popped on toast and bubbled under the grill. Yummy.

Yes.
Left-over cold chicken mixed with mayonnaise (Hellman's of coursewink) and a teaspoon of curry powder, on brown rolls with some salad thrown in.
I would also use left-over cold salmon if I had any, also with mayo and cucumber.
Cold bacon used in BLT on brown bread.

Right, here you go. I love left overs (but husband refuses to eat them, something to do with his mother serving bubble and squeak for breakfast on a regular basis).

My personal favourites are: Hot savoury mince on toast (left over cottage pie) with a poached egg on top and a drizzle of ketchup. A sandwich made with cold roast lamb and a smear of chutney.

Some of the ways in which I disguise leftovers for the benefit of husband - Monday's Spag Bol sauce in Wednesday's lasagne, with roast butternut to pad out the filling. Savoury mince in a 'Mince and Macaroni' special (basically mix the mince with cooked macaroni, chuck cheese sauce over the top with grated cheese to finish and pop in the over). Pasta arrabiata from left over chicken.

Off to chomp cold fish cakes straight out the fridge from last night now. smile.

Testers - to answer the list of questions. But non testers can take part too simply by adding their thoughts on using leftovers for sandwiches (see above for more details) and one of them will win a hamper as a separate thing. Hope that helps

I think it is pribably for the 10 gransnetters who took part in the Hellmann’s ‘Sandwich of the Century’ challenge as part of their
LoveFood Hate Waste campaign.I could be wrong though.

I'm a bit confused Kat.
Can you clarify exactly who you want to respond to this thread?

This thread is for the 10 gransnetters who took part in the Hellmann’s ‘Sandwich of the Century’ challenge as part of their
LoveFood Hate Waste campaign.

Non-testers: Hellmann’s would love to know if you use leftovers in your sandwiches. Do you regularly use your leftovers in a sandwich for lunch the next day? If you don’t, do you think it’s something you’d try? Every non tester who adds their thoughts will be entered into a prize draw to win a Hellmann’s hamper worth £50.

Here’s what Hellmann’s have to say, “For 100 years, Hellmann's Mayonnaise has been at the heart of the greatest Sandwiches but did you know that every day we throw away 200,000 loaves of bread and are even careless with our fillings for example, nearly three million tomatoes, and one million slices of ham are disposed of and not eaten?! At Hellmann’s, we love food and we believe eating should be a moment of joy. That's why we hate food waste and are now encouraging you to use your lovely leftovers!"

Testers were sent some Hellmann's mayonnaise along with a welcome pack.

Testers: We’ve got a set of questions we’d like you to answer about making sandwiches and how you found the Hellmann’s challenge. Please also feel free to add any other thoughts you may have.

1. How often do you make sandwiches for yourself and/or your family?
2. How many different types of sandwich filling do you have in one week?
3. Do you make sandwiches the night before or are you an early riser?
4. What are your hints and tips to keep your bread fresh?
5. What ideas did you/ your family come up with for using leftovers in sandwiches? What worked well/ what didn’t work out so well?
6. Do you have a favourite sandwich you already made regularly with your leftovers?
7. After taking part in the challenge do you think you will be more inventive in your sandwich fillings featuring Hellmann’s Mayonnaise?

If you have made a particularly impressive sandwich, feel free to post a picture of it on this thread too! All testers who leave their feedback on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £150 M&S voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

GNHQ
