silly me..

[Nibble]

I just got back from Sainsbury's and I thought I'd make the mother of all sandwiches to keep me going til evening meal time. I had it all there to assemble thusly:

Slice of Bread (regular, medium sliced. Don't be a poof, eat white bread)
Butter
Mustard
Diced onion
Ham
Ghurkins
Cheese
Cucumber
Lettuce
Mayonnaise
Salt/pepper
1 x jacobs cracker
Slice of bread, repeat first storey

All lined up on my kitchen counter, like little culinary soldiers ready to march into my tummy. I got the bread from it packet, after all bread makes this all possible and it felt like cardboard, all pale and stiff round the edges and hard in the centre. I checked the best before date and it was 31st January 2010 TODAY!!! Now, i should have checked at the shop, those fuckers have a habit of putting the shitty old stock at the front but I just assume that the bread is always gonna be okay for at least 2 or 3 days after purchase but I didn't count on it BEING OUT OF DATE THE f***ing DAY I BUY IT...

Can they do this? I'm not going back there but shagging f***, that's not on. I will mention it to one of their equal opportunities members of staff next time I am in there. Strangebury's I say, I may have to switch to Spazda (white bread, brown babies).

The sandwich was still consumed but it was not a triumph, really took the shine off my Sunday, post walk treat.

f*** stale Bread and f*** Sainsbury's.

Thats your own fault for buying crappy bread in the first place. If you're buying bread to eat today you ALWAYS buy a decent crusty bit, whether its a Baguette, Ciabatta, Seeded Roll or whatever, buy it fresh. Shitty loaves of sliced bread are for making sandwiches for work, not weekends!

 

[Nibble]

Well to a degree, but I have had Kingsmill before, it has always been plush and soft from crust to corner. I like all sorts of bread but I LOVE soft white standar loaf for some reason. It shouldn't be crappy and hard on the day of purchase and I don't think they should sell it in that state.

Jacob's cracker?!?!?!

 

[Gully]

Nibble, you bought the wrong bread...Sainsbury do a really good range of in-store baked bread...top of the pile is the multiseed, but if you like white you can't go wrong with the wonderfully named tiger bread!

 

[Nibble]

Jacob's cracker?!?!?!

Indeed, I was sceptical but in a three storey sarnie it's a bloody revelation.

I like Tiger bread too.

Supermarkets normally reduce the price on items that have todays sell by date. If it is stale take it back to the store , show them the receipt to prove you bought it today and they will give you a refund or exchange it. Why pay full price and its no good ?

Is the correct answer, sainsburys tiger bread is well nice. All that mass produced shite tastes horrible. The long life stuff is the worst, god knows what they put in it to stop it going off.

You should've felt the bread in Sainsburys, Nibble.People that work there are a bunch of dopey arses anyway-cue angry responses from employees now.

Kingsmill does a top quality loaf that stays fresh for ages.Disappointing to have all the ingredients and you were obviously looking forward to your sandwich.

So you're not enjoying your weekend Nibble? The match yesterday and now this.

It is all improving. I got some nice soft white Kingsmill, Fresh and bouncy and I even managed to improve on The Mega Sanwich with the addition of several further items to create what I call The Tyranasandwich Rex. Yum.

Also, could you please explain what the cracker adds, I'm too much of a scaredypants to try it myself.

I had a similar experience with Sainsbury's a few weeks ago, bought some bread on a Saturday morning ready to make a MEGA sandwich, I was then very disappointed to find out that it went out of date that day. My solution to this problem was to use a couple of slices to make BEANS ON TOAST and then take the rest of the offending loaf back to Sainsbury's to trade in for a nice fresh loaf

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like to buy that white bread too. If you try to make a sandwich with a bloomer or summat you tend to crush the bread whilst slicing and the sandwich fails.

I used to make triple deckers with cheap ham and lettuce using two types of mustard (one coarse, one smooth) and an (optional) slice of cheese. I could eat one right now, oh yes.

Exactly how do you get all of that in your mouth at the same same without rewallpapering the room by accident?

There's a distinct lack of meat in that sandwich. Ham alone will not make a great sandwich. Salami, pepperoni etc are needed
