    Read Butter
    Warm juicy chicken breast (not crumbed, just fresh, real chicken)

    Simple but delicious

    Fed up with unnecessary blisters on your hands from the toil of making sandwiches?

    Tired of the grueling 2 minutes that a sandwich can take to put together?

    Then the new MamTronic3000 is for you! This state of the art device makes the best sandwiches you can fit in your cakehole and it does with all the charm of your Mam!

    Hang, cheese, butter, turkey. Whatever you like (except that foreign chorizo muck) and it doesn't spare on the passive aggressive nagging that your real Mam delivers too!

    "Are you still hanging out with that shower of wasters?"
    "When are you going to get a real job?"
    "Is that what you're wearing to the wedding?"

    It's all here with the new MamTronic3000. It's like you've never left home at all!

    Well, I'm not sure if it's technically a sandwich but here goes:

    Pita bread filled with salad and falafel

    Warm, crunchy pita bread pouch, lined on one side with hummous, on the other with something spicy (harissa is good for it), then layered lettuce, thinly sliced onion and cucumber topped with two or three hot falafels crowned by a good dollop of tsatsiki.

    Ab-so-lute heaven, that is.

    Put some prosciutto into a dry frying pan - fry till crispy(in a minute or so as the prosciutto is so thin - besides saves on the calories:)). Butter some bread(preferably toasted) add sliced tomato and lettuce, add salt and black pepper.

    If you are making a grilled rasher sandwich, place the bread pan under the rack holding the rashers and let the juice of the rashers soak into the bread while grilling (this also makes for easier washing up).

  • Registered Users Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Karona


    Grill some german peppered salami until it is crispy
    Cut Kaiser rolls in half (the ones with the poppy or sesame seeds)
    Place Salami on kaiser roll and add some mozzerella
    Toast it until the mozzerella has melted and voila a gorgeous roll!! :D

    OR

    Boil 2 eggs
    chop up a bit of an onion, a tomato, mixed lettuce and the boiled eggs
    Add lots of mayo and give a good stir
    place onto a slice of brennans white bread and add a sprinkle of salt and place another slice on top.

    I have had people who will not eat salad sandwiches tell me these were gorgeous :)

    Meatball sandwich.

    Leave leftover meatballs from spag bol in the pot or dish it was cooked in with the sauce. The sauce thickens up overnight.

    Heat up balls, cut a soft roll in half, cut balls in half,add to roll, top with the sauce and lashings of cheese and if you've time, fried mushrooms and onions. Throw under the grill until cheese melts.

    Another fave is leftover roast beef or pork from Sunday dinner with fried onions, cheese and gravy.

    Oh ghod I want one now!

    There must always be more filling than bread. Always.

    Anything less than a 1.1 : 1 filling to bread ratio is just bread with something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 637 ✭✭✭ruthloss


    Any sandwich tastes better if you have a bag of cheese and onion Taytos with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    Get some white bread with loads of butter. Thin slices of hot roast beef freshly sliced. Saute loads of onion rings (not diced].

    Gather some fresh lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sweetcorn, beetroot, cress and feck them in the bin.

    Put the saute onions in the middle of the sliced beef in between the bread. Cut in to 2 equal triangles. Eat when the butter starts to melt. Change shirt

    Yummy

    +1 I alwasy drool when I see them making sandwiches on programmes like Diners, Drive In and Dives or Man V Food. OK, there's a good ratio then there's overkill but sometime in my lifetime I want to eat one of those sandwiches 5 pounds of three different meats in it.

    I discovered the Pastrami sold in Lidl is delish and open to accepting many combinations of ingredients for a fantastic sammich.

    200px-Pita_felafel.jpg

    Pita bread is white bread that when toasted forms a pouch.
    Falafel are chickpea fritters, sometimes spicy, sometimes not.
    Hummous is a chickpea and sesame paste/dip, usually spiced with garlic and lemon and very creamy.
    Harrissa is a spicy paste, originally from the Maghreb, I believe. Any sort of chili paste will do, though.
    And finally, tsatsiki is a Greek yoghurt dip with grated cucumber and garlic.

    The whole thing is a little bit of a trip around the Mediterranean, but it just works, trust me. :D

    Ham, cheese, coleslaw, pickle.

    Cool and refreshing for warm days, yet dense and filling also.
