The perfect sandwich

Spook_ie · 15-09-2019 9:31pm

Doesn't matter what the filling, if you need to use pre-SLICED bread of whatever make, then it's not worthy of being called anything other than a cop out!

Sausage
Hash brown
Rasher
Egg

IamMetaldave · 15-09-2019 10:56pm

That sambo with sugar reminded me of an odd sambo I used it love when I was a kid - buttered bread with cornflakes and ketchup...

15-09-2019 10:58pm

Close to Jupiterkids, with some crucial tweaks. Triple decker with grainy bread, sliced roast chicken and slices of crispy streaky bacon, shredded iceberg lettuce and sliced beef tomato with some finely sliced onion, smoked cheese and garlic mayo, toasted, and served with kettle crisps on the side and a huge mug of builders tea.

Whatever you do, don't toast it... gives off a rotten smell.

Its not the toaster, its the same under the grill ..and every other brand / type of bread is fine other than Brennans white bread.Its a horrible sweet cheesy smell that lingers.
I used to love it, but its gone to dirt. Much like Cadburys, Kelloggs and most other popular brands in recent years.

Nearly all processed breads are now made with ever increasing amounts of soya and palm oil. And the soya is where the distinctive smell comes from imo.

Ingredients brennan's white pan

Wheat Flour (Wheat, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Thiamin, Niacin), Water, Yeast, Salt, Vegetable Oil (Rapeseed), Soya Flour, Emulsifier: E472e, Flour Treatment Agent: Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Vegetable Fat (Palm)

Same with a lot of other processed foods ...

Ham sandwiches are lovely but you need a light smearing of brown sauce on it. Not that HP ****e, chef brown sauce.

Yer Da sells Avon · 15-09-2019 11:55pm

I got some very nice brioche burger buns in Aldi's the other day (Tesco's and Lidl's probably have similar, I don't know). Lovely with a package of King crips and a tick layer of butter.

Got really into BLTs lately. Was never much of a fan before due to the number of sh1tty shop bought ones I'd had, but made one myself the other day which was gorgeous. Nice thick white bread, decent bacon, tiny bit of mayo....it was amazing.

Whole Mogerleys Steak and Kidney Pie, Mashed into said Fresh Brennans Batch bread, topping of grated cheese and a steaming cup of coffee does it for me

Fresh brennans white bread,

That can be a bit of a problem. Brennans - Yesterdays bread tomorrow.

Always, always make sure you muck up the Brennans display as much as you possibly can, as they try and con you by constantly putting their stale bread, that has a 1 or 2 day expiry date at the front of the shelf, rather than the fresh stuff hidden away at the very back, which has a 6 day shelf life left.

Also buying it on a Sunday or Monday means that you're guaranteed to be getting stale bread.

With BLTs though, the lack of cheese troubles me.

So like the rebel that I am, I have a BLTC.

DaeryssaOne · 16-09-2019 11:02am

Salty and hot roasted chicken pieces, cheese, thinly sliced onion, real butter, garlic mayo and lumpy / moist stuffing, (potentially sausage stuffing).
Not too fussed about the bread once it's not (a) too floury or (b) too thick or crispy to eat comfortably.

Generally in tubs called something like LowLow, Flora, or I can't believe it's not butter....

Canis Lupus · 16-09-2019 11:49am

Freshest of white bread. Good ham, cheese and real butter.

Next best is chicken and stuffing.

I also really like french baguette cream cheese and something like seranno or prosciutto ham.

PinotNero · 16-09-2019 12:01pm

Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

Stevieluvsye · 16-09-2019 12:02pm

Hmmm, difficult

OK

Open sandwich on turnover bread, real butter, proper ham from the butchers, bit of cheddar, few scallions, some coleslaw, package a king emptied on to the plate next to sambo

That'll do

Wanderer78 · 16-09-2019 12:15pm

magic_murph · 16-09-2019 1:06pm

thick cut white bread
1 or 2 potato waffle's (grilled or toasted - should be crispy)
Real Butter
Maple bacon x 3
Cheese (Melted or non-melted)
sauce is optional - I find the melted butter is more than enough

Mug of tea and a quick 20 min snooze after.

AulWan · 16-09-2019 1:11pm

Tuna mixed with mayo and sweetcorn, topped with coleslaw, on multigrain bread is another good sandwich.

Or there is a very nice sandwich I indulge in occasionally from a certain shop - chargrilled chicken with lemon & basil mayo, roasted tomatoes & rocket on ciabatta. It's delicious.

tscul32 · 16-09-2019 1:37pm

Christmas dinner leftover sambo - put whatever you want in it - mayo, turkey, ham, cranberry, gravy, mash, veg - even the sauteed sprouts!! But fresh baked home made bread, you know, the kind with 4 or 5 ingredients only. Best sandwich in the world.

osarusan · 16-09-2019 1:40pm

Can't agree with people who go for the softest bread.

If the sandwich requires any kind of grip at all, you need something with a bit of body and spring, not something that sinks under the pressure and becomes a thin doughy strip.

Hector Savage · 16-09-2019 1:52pm

Brown Bread.
Egg Mayonaise.
Keoghs Cheese and Onion Crisps.

Heaven!

storker · 16-09-2019 1:57pm

I have so many...

Red cheddar cheese, thinly sliced tomato & onion, with a little salad cream.

Prawn cocktail.

Ham with nothing else whatsoever.

All on white bread.

At my daughter's suggestion I recently tried pepperoni with cheese and tomato, and some mayonnaise. Very nice.

You can't go wrong with a nice BLT. Fresh bread, lashings of mayo, fresh lettuce and tomato and some nicely grilled bacon.

Chicken & Grape.....this https://www.donnybrookfair.ie/chicken-black-grape-sandwich but with better bread.

Failing that white loaf, butter (a scrapping of the fake stuff*) & king cheese and onion.

*Controversial but I hate real butter as it over powers the rest of the sandwich!

AulWan · 16-09-2019 10:20pm

Gross.

I often see sandwiches like that on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Its pure gluttony.

No one needs that much meat in a sandwich!

El Tarangu · 16-09-2019 10:27pm

I live in Belgium, and one thing I really miss from home is the sandwiches - some of the sandwich fillings I have been given here include:

grated carrot
potato and carrot mash
steak americane - raw beef with mayo, mustard, capers, pickles...
uncooked black pudding

Anyway, I digress... the best sandwich is leftover boned-and-rolled stuffed chicken between slices of buttered white bread - perfection.

I stopped eating meat a couple of years ago, and have come to the conclusion that vegetarian sandwiches suck

With the exception of falafel, there isn't really any point to sandwiches without any meat in them - they're so bland and unsatisfying

16-09-2019 10:41pm

2 slices of Heavily buttered bread.
A slice of hot lasagne between them.

Sounds gross but my God it's a game changer!

dxhound2005 · 16-09-2019 10:46pm

For when the crash comes. The cheapest meal, as described on the BBC. A toast sandwich, not to be confused with a toasted sandwich.

A slice of toast with a bit of salt and pepper, between two slices of buttered bread.

The perfect sandwich
