The perfect sandwich

igCorcaigh · 18-01-2020 10:15pm

Any form of flatbread or roti based sandwich.

Making quesedilla now, with refried beans, cheddar and chilli...

The vegetarian ploughman sandwich.

JP Liz V1 · 18-01-2020 11:33pm

White Sourdough Bread, butter, horseradish sauce, beef, rocket and red onion

Cheapest meal is a toast sandwich at 7.5p

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) will give you £200 if you can find cheaper.

I just realise I comment on this thread 4 months ago. Class is permanent.

old superquinn white batch loaf - hot from the bakery, thick black crusty top, sliced thick with philadelphia cheese and crunchy maple rashers - omg. I’ve died and gone to kitchen heaven.

*Two thick slices of sourdough. An inch of Bandon butter on each. A thick slice of freshly boiled spiced beef. Strong cup of tea. After a few pints on Christmas Eve.

*if you’re not from cork you won’t know how good this is.

A lad I lived with in college used to eat spaghetti bologneese sandwiches.

As a vegetarian that is awesome.

Lightly toasted white bread, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a dollop of Heinz Salad Cream...

Nice.

Huntergonzo · 19-01-2020 2:24pm

Great question and a lot of great answers.

Being a hungry animal that will eat basically any food it's a very difficult question to narrow down to just 1 sandwich, but if I was forced:

Johnston, Mooney and O'Brien nutty brown bread, plenty of butter, then tuna and coleslaw and a nice sprinkle of salt.

Washed down with either 7up or a cuppa tae depending on how I'm feeling/what's available. Also I think coctail sausages go great with sambos when they're knockin' about.

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy · 19-01-2020 2:29pm

I’ve a stuffed chicken roasting in the oven. I was gonna boil a few spuds and peas, but now I think I’ll lash it on a floury white bap, with real butter, iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes and mayo instead!

Graces7 · 19-01-2020 2:39pm

Only real sandwich is toasted cheese... Irish cheddar of course

ThePott · 19-01-2020 2:58pm

Anyone ever put mango chutney in a sandwich?
It's killer when you pair it with cheese. This might just be a thing in my house.

Raconteuse · 19-01-2020 3:21pm

Thanks again folks. How could one simple dish bring so much happiness?! (Wipes tear).

Wow, your house invented cheese and pickle!

Asitis2019 · 19-01-2020 3:32pm

Do paninis count?

If so parma harm, pesto, mozzarella, rocket, and sundried tomatoes. Toasted.

Yum yum

Asitis2019 · 19-01-2020 3:37pm

Also The JM&oB sourdough buns are great for a sandwich

I have no idea what you mean by this.
It was mainly because I hadn't seen anyone mention it on this thread or in real life so wasn't sure if this was common or not.

Chutney/pickle is a traditional accompaniment to cheese.

ThePott · 19-01-2020 4:00pm

Oh right, don't like pickles at all so not sure really. Or wondered if there was a different type of chutney normally used or something. Again haven't come across it much in the real world or seen it mentioned here so wasn't sure.
Cheese toastie with mango chutney and some crisps is king.

I mentioned the Ploughman twice.

B.A._Baracus · 20-01-2020 2:52pm

A fish finger sandwich.

SusieBlue · 20-01-2020 3:07pm

A thick white doorstep toasted sandwich with red pepper relish, diced cajun chicken & bacon, fresh spinach and melted cheese.

Alternatively, a toasted sandwich of white bread with baby gem lettuce, roast chicken, bacon, smashed avocado & a light drizzle of ceaser dressing. Salt and pepper.

Both game changers, no notions here.

forzacalcio · 20-01-2020 3:43pm

3 slices of white bread, middle slice toasted.

Chicken and Dunnes Coleslaw, Potato Salad on one side,
White mature cheddar cheese and onion on other.
The crispy toasted bread in the middle.

Huge dollop of Salad Cream on the side. Dip dip dip.

I thought a Ploughman was just pickle tbh. You didn't list the ingredients so didn't know it could include chutney.

Didn't expect a Spanish inquisition on my chutney comment tbh :pac:

branie2 · 20-01-2020 7:47pm

plain cheese

Also top notch on a cheese burger. Way underrated. Unreal on a toastie for sure.

20-01-2020 9:25pm

I like a bit of sweet with cheese so I’ll definitely be trying that one.

Markcheese · 20-01-2020 11:24pm

Fried egg sandwich ,on buttered white bread, with the chilli sauce of your choice ( can't do very hot )
My brothers favourite would be toasted turkey and blue cheese ....

JustAThought · 20-01-2020 11:39pm

Superquinn saussages done in the pan & taken out piping hot and wrapped into tight saussage rolls in brown wholemeal bread (crusts optional). mmmm. great in a cold day running out for the bus on in your pocket on your way into work. mmmmm

Man Vs ManUre · 20-01-2020 11:45pm

There used to be a sandwich shop between mount street and grand canal street called ocb’s. I used to go there in the late 90s, early 00s. Not sure if it’s still there. But it’s club sandwich was the best sandwich I ever had. Tho it was very pricey, was about €6 even back then. Toasted white or brown bread with slice in middle, butter, mayo, turkey both wire and brown, stuffing, ham, cranberry sauce. It was so yummy.

AulWan · 22-01-2020 1:05pm

Simple, but another of my all time favourites, is

Wholemeal bread, no butter, a light skim of mayonnaise, iceberg lettuce, tomato, onion, good quality ham (be generous) and a sliced hard boiled egg.

Very nice, not too heavy, and also good with chicken or turkey instead of ham.

igCorcaigh · 22-01-2020 1:15pm

Lots of love for the sliced bread here, but I prefer pita or flatbreads.

Toasted rye is also good for an open sandwich with fish pate and pickled cucumbers.

Hoop66 · 22-01-2020 1:20pm

Lightly toasted batch bread.
Leftover garlicky roast chicken
Grilled/fried halloumi cheese
Mayo
Lettuce
Pepper

JohnnyFlash · 22-01-2020 1:21pm

I had smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber on a toasted bagel earlier and I must say it was fūcking delicious.

Flaccus · 22-01-2020 1:31pm

White cobb, hollow it out, fill with taytos, top with yr sauce. Job done.

Nostalgia sandwich just like when you were six.

bodhrandude · 24-01-2020 6:52pm

White bread, butter, emmental cheese, Blacky ham and either Ploughman's or Branston pickle spread or French toast with emmental cheese and marmite.

ooo - filthy - marmite ðŸ€®

thou what is lovely imo is toasted bread til its properly brown, spread some hommus on it and the emmental cheese - put on top of the hot toaster to heat it up and melt the emmental a bit - great eaten off the dashboard on the way into work

Who puts lettuce on a sandwich? A tasteless, no calorie providing, worthless filling.

I used to believe this until recently but it is way under rated imo. It provides a valuable crunch that nothing else will. A good handful of crunchy iceberg lettuce can do wonders with a bit of Mayo.

The perfect sandwich
