Since I found I was gluten and lactose intolerant....I can eat bread only that tastes like cardboard, but it toasts reasonably well and I'll have some melted lactose free cheese under the grill, with garnishings, but it isn't a sandwich. It's a sadwich. Never again will I enjoy tuna, mayo, salt and pepper and thin slices of tomato on a wholemeal bun. Never. The b'stards! (genes). :rant::angry::facepalm:

Number 1 is worrying me :mad:

Yeah but it depends on both "what type of cheese" and "what type of dates".

Shoving a nice, rich, creamy blue with a few proper sticky dates into a fresh baguette does it for me. It is, dare I say, exotic.

Sticking some shit cheddar together with the packet dates you get with a sell by date of 2025 into some white sliced is a food crime that should be punishable with a season ticket in the Holmesdale.

Both variations are excellent, if you avoid unnecessarily derogatory words for delicious cheddar cheddar cheese and lovely fresh white bread.

There is shit cheddar - it bends. FACT.

There is good cheddar - it crumbles and takes the roof of your mouth off. FACT.

Neither is as good with a date (edible, rather than the type you go on) as a nice creamy blue. FACT.

:wink:

:moo:

Number 3 is, frankly, disturbing :eek:

Ignorance is - in your case - anything but bliss. In my younger days, long cycle rides on hot days, with a pack of sandwiches in a hot rucksack - for some reason the pea sandwiches retained both moisture and freshness when all other sandwiches had given up the ghost, dried out and curled at the edges pathetically. Trouble is, it's not easy to find proper processed peas these days - garden peas, marrowfat peas and mushy peas just do not work in the same way. I fear younger generations may have missed out.

Mind you, how many mum's these days would let a couple of 11 year olds out on their own to ride their bikes 10 or 12 miles to the next town and back?

I used to work in Camden many years ago and before it got rebranded as "organisational drinking culture" we would routinely spend Friday lunch time in Quinns (2 hours) and wipe the afternoon off.

Lunch was "tuna melt". Tinned tuna, very strong cheddar on wholemeal bread, buttered on the outside then toasted. This was routinely served with an optional Heinz Tomato Ketchup on the side.

Always drunk with bitter.

It was incredible.

Crunchy Turkey and stuffing sandwiches/rolls are very nice.

They are completely wrong but I do like those Christmas sandwiches. Odd thing is I'm not a fan of Roast Dinner let alone Christmas Dinner.

You do feel like you have eaten a Christmas Dinner after eating one though.

I had liver sausage and cucumber today on white (obvs) as an 80s throwback, with a modern twist...added some gherkins. Very very nice!

Next week: Sandwich Spread!

Extra strong Cheddar Cheese and English Mustard in thick white bread with plenty of butter.

A nice light panini cut in half, crack a raw egg in the middle, put it back together and microwave for1 minute so that the egg cooks in the roll. If you like the egg runny, microwave for 45 seconds.

Interesting thread.

Paleo these days, so

Avocado and pomegranate on wild mushroom quinoa.



(I'm bullshitting of course)

Yesterday was a marginally less pretentious Tuna mayo with kalamata olives

I fear the OP has paid insufficient attention to the question he posed. The nature of the specific type of bread product is absolutely critical to what is best placed inside/on top.

Accordingly:

White, floured bap: two soft fried eggs. Try to keep the yolk inside the bap as you eat it, of course, but when you inevitably fail, use a piece of the bap to mop the spillage up off your plate (or shirt).

Crusty, white roll: cheddar and tomato

Ciabatta: buffalo mozzarella, basil, tomato, olive oil, balsamic vinegar

Granary: open sandwich: tuna melt

Wholemeal: cold roast lamb, salt

White: bacon, no sauce

White, toasted, open: pork dripping, pork jelly, salt, pepper

Etc

Back when I first started working there was a sandwich shop in Air St just near The Quadrant that used to do an absolute slab of doorstep bread, slathered in enough melted cheese to bathe in and topped with caramelized onions. It truly was a thing of beauty. I've never seen its like again.

Then, when working later in The City we discovered both the Birley's Hot Special and a place that did a roast dinner in a baguette. I'm honestly drooling thinking about it.


In the absence of both, at home, during lockdown, it's chicken and crispy bacon, tossed in mayo, with Iceberg Lettuce on thick granary.

I remember those Air Street doorstep sandwiches in the mid 90s.
