    I can't go beyond this list other than hot salt beef instead of steak!

    Just had a Bánh mě for lunch, they take some beating.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bánh_mě

    Cheese and roast chicken crisps is another good one.

    But the king of sarnies has to be bacon.

    Freshly-cooked crab, brown meat and claw meat mixed, with sliced cucumber and tomato, on crusty sourdough. Sex on a plate.

    Thomasina Miers' Mexican Torta recipe is my favourite - sliced & fried chorizo, refried beans, mashed avocado with lime juice, lettuce & chipotle lime mayonnaise in a toasted ciabatta bun (the bun should be brushed with the oil from the chorizo frying and then grilled.

    I'll definitely try this.

    Not sure about the sex on a plate though - my balance isn't so good.

    Sliced tomato with so much ground pepper on top you can no longer see the tomato, in between a nice farmhouse white sliced loaf. Simplicity and utterly delicious.

    Yep I know the place. I will give them a try. Always looking for some lunchtime inspiration.

    Cheers

    Too many to choose from but in the premier league has to be a BLT.

    Cold crisp lettuce, hot thick fried bacon, tomato and a dollop of mayo in a soft, buttered bun.

    For a sammich - the BLT is hard to beat.........

    But for a hot-filled roll, it has to be: BLACK PUDDING WITH FRIED EGG.

    Oh! And chips in a roll is so-so-o wrong!

    fish fingers, grated cheese and tommy sauce

    Best sandwich?

    Chip butty. Doorstep bread, thick butter and hot chips. Washed down with Dandelion and Burdock.

    Otherwise freshly made classics:

    Fried egg
    Egg and cress
    Ham and mustard
    Beef and horse radish
    Potted beef
    Cheese and onion
    Cheese and piccalilli
    Salmon and cucumber

    In fact most things other than pre-packed sludge sandwiches.

    - Bread of your choice
    - Cranberry jelly spread on bottom slice, then
    - Crispy smoked bacon rashers, then
    - Three large slices of fresh, moist turkey, then
    - Pork, sage an onion stuffing, and finally
    - The top slice

    I make these for us every Christmas and they're the best sarnie ever!

    For Geordies of a certain vintage many a Proustian moment can be prompted by 2 sarnie combinations:

    - Grated cheddar and chopped scallions on white bread with loads of butter
    - Proper ham cut from the bone from a proper butcher and pease pudding stottie; bit of mustard on the ham, bit of vinegar on the pease pudding

    Both washed down with Ringtons tea, milk and 2.

    Oh God I'm hungry now.

    Cheers

    Roast beef and english mustard with gherkins and fried onions , its quite good if you dip it in a cup of bovril too.

    You will emanate fumes especially if you whack a wee bit of tabasco in there as well.

  25. #25
    I would struggle to put my favourites in any particular order, however, here are a few:

    * Granary - nice ham, mature cheddar, English mustard spread on one slice and a dollop of mayo spread on the other;
    * Brown - BLT;
    * White crusty roll - cheese (cheddar) and pickle (Branston) with prawn cocktail crisps;
    * White (preferably toasted) - peanut butter and apricot jam...

    I'm off to make a ham and cheese :)

    Eggy dip. Make a normal jam butty with white bread, beat a few eggs and brush the butty with the raw egg mix until coated, put in a hot frying pan until lightly toasted and hot - superb.

    Best sandwich is the one I have for Sunday lunch whilst out walking. Provided the weather's fair there's nothing better than a sandwich eaten outdoors after a couple of hours hard walking. Chicken, ham, corned beef, cold bacon, I don't care provided it's with decent brown bread and brown HP sauce.

    Lunchtime at home usually features two of my all-time favourites, grilled spam with brown sauce, or bacon with tinned tomatoes boiled down to a thick paste. Add a touch of black pepper to either and ensure the breads good quality.

    Thin baguette
    Very small quantity of Nduja
    Crushed tomatoes
    Lambs lettuce
    Serrano ham
    Extra virgin olive oil
    Small clove of garlic grated on the bread.

    If can't be bothered bacon on a crusty roll with brown sauce

    Too many to choose from but one I have just ate is bacon & sausage on wholemeal bread with cheese & tomato ketchup on top.

  33. #33
    Bacon
    Sausages sliced (down the middle sausages) and fried
    Scotch pancake
    Black pudding
    Topped with a soft centre poached egg

    Usually with a bit of tomato sauce, but I can use others, or sometimes hot chopped tomatoes over the pancake.

    It works in a bap, or slices of whatever bread is in.
    It's just a matter of time...

    The Club Sandwich is the king of sandwiches - ideally when it contains egg and/or avocado along with the regular bits.

    If anyone fancies one and is feeling flush, The Dorchester does the best club sandwich going!

    Crusty bread, good quality ham and enough English mustard to get that burning sensation at the back of your nose.

    Would agree with that, close win from fish finger sarnie. Definitely takes it for effort!

    A friend used to eat corned beef, lettuce and salad cream sandwiches every day, not sure I'd say they're the best but they're pretty tasty.

    Wow...theres some really exotic stuff here!
    My favourite (especially in summer) is so simple...fresh cold iceberg lettuce with salt on really fresh Warburtons medium sliced bread with real butter.
    Crunchy and in my opinion very tasty/healthy (great for veggie mates too).
    I think i had a bit of a poor upbringing...my mum used to make me salt butties...which sound rubbish, but i still like them!
    I think I'm just a cheap Northern Monkee! Ha ha ha

    Or a Maltese ftira with tuna, onions, tomatoes and capers. Sandwich of the gods...

    Most of you are way wrong.

    Smoked salmon and cream cheese, lovely
    Yesterday's chicken jalfrezi, with loads of chicken and sauce

    and if you are feeling a bit basic, a nice egg and tomato sandwich is marvellous.

    I'd agree with this, although I am a fan of the three-nations > English Cheddar and Spanish Tomatoes on a fresh, bought-on-the-way-home, French baguette.

    While sounding extremely tasty, some of the above seem to involve a lot of hard work and exotic ingredients.
    To me a sandwich needs to be simple and easy to compile otherwise it is a meal rather than a quick snack.
    I fancied one when I got home today: Multi-seedy bread spread with mayo, slice of thick ham, a huge handful of iceberg and some vittorio tomatoes, a shake of seasalt and all crushed down to fit in the mouth. Nice, and quick.

    Yes well it's a little known fact that Marcel's asthma which led him to a life of cosseted introspection and aestheticism in various French salons while producing enormous literary works was in fact contracted during a brief teenage sojourn to the pigeon lofts of North Shields.

    Cheers

    Well, best sandwich for me is the one that I get every time I go back to Florence (about four times a year): "Schiacciata con la sbriciolona". "Schiacciata" is a crispy focaccia with rock salt and oil. "Sbriciolona" is a cured pork, fennel and garlic salame. The schiacciata is sliced open, filled with sbriciolona, artichoke pate, dried tomatoes and sheep cheese cream.

    Best place to go is called "L'antico Vinaio" which is rightfully very famous. A couple of good friends, some red wine, this sandwich/panino and is heaven.

    In UK I quite like toasted cheese sandwich, croque monsieur and BLT.
