Crisp Sandwiches

Foxhound38

The missus is from the States and this traditional concoction is something she can't quite get her head around. Is it a uniqely irish thing? If so, should we not spread it to the masses - i'm eating one right now and i can think of no better snack on this earth!

That sounds bizarre. What goes into it besides the sugar? I want to try this.

Never heard of them, would have added a bit of sugar when having banana sandwiches though.

I'm going to try out this sugar sandwich tomorrow. Sounds like it could be strangely delicious.

See the difference of the generations...it was one or the other when I was growing up. No such thing as choice,,,fcek it, sugar was a treat.

Use proper bread, not sliced pan

Crisps and Galtee cheese is a favourite of mine.

I remember a couple of my brothers eating sugar sandwiches when we were young,it used to disgust me watching them eating them.

Heretic!

A crisp sammich consists of fresh white bread, butter and potato crisps.

Adding other stuff to it means it no longer qualifies as a crisp samwidge.

Why tamper with perfection?

As long as the bread is fresh, crisp sandwiches are awesome! I do also remember sugar sandwiches. Buttery bread with loads of sugar poured over one slice with the second added for the top.

But what we used to do was cut a tomato in half and dunk the cut side into a sugar bowl until it was heavily encrusted in sugar and eat that.

We now all wonder where the type 2 diabetes came from!

We used to "butter" weetabix!
Fast food :cool:

Just remembered, picking rhubarb from the garden and dipping that in the sugar too.

I haven't have a crisp sambo in over a year.
Might make one tomorrow as we've got a big ol' back of the deep ridged Walkers crisps and a fresh baker's pan. Goddamnit, AH, yis are puttin' me off my diet!

Never had a sugar sandwedge. Sounds bizarre.

savour the flavour, cos my all encompassing mono crisp is in development I'll give you a clue: it's a little bit cajun / it's a little bit bland.

Really fresh bread, butter and nearly a full bag of crisps......my supper tonight. God, am still drooling about it!

Just thinking about horrible sandwiches - I remember when I was a kid, a few other kids used to have salad cream and orange sarnies! That's still giving me the shivers 30something years later!

Sure they eat peanut butter sambos on that horrible sweet bread. What would they know?
Fresh white bread, Dairygold, slice of ham, and about half a packet of cheese and onion Hunky Doreys. Delish man.

Crisps and coleslaw on a crusty roll.

Drools on keyboard.

I love sandwiches and I love crisps, yet somehow the combination of both I find strangely dissatisfying!!

What about buttered digestive biscuits - they are another amazing snack. Are they uniquely Irish too??

BraziliaNZ

My Ma used to give me white bread cut up, sugar, and milk in a bowl. There are a lot of things I don't miss about the 80s!

jeni

My granddad used to give us sugar sambos, slice of turn over bread and real butter and then thick sugar used to love them

In school we used to have cheese sambos with meanies lol rather nice

I heard recently someone used to have vinegar sambos now that to me just sounds wrong

Deadly, i love it. I saw a woman put some marmalade on a ferero rocher one time. I nearly got sick.

The secret to crisp sandwiches is dont try to be fancy. No weird bakers bread you slice yourself and pan fried crisps. Fresh Brennans bread, kerrygoald butter and king crisps, thats all you need
