Ran a quick search and I'm shocked to see there are no threads on favourite sandwich fillings. Well now there is one. The reason I was thinkin of it is that I've just discovered the superb cheese and pesto sandwich. Other more normal favourites include bolognese sauce (better in a toastie), ham and chilli sauce and soft cheese and pepper.
What do you like squeezed between your slices of bread?

Boiled bacon with lashings of mustard, thats the Irish in me coming out .;D
Tuna
Chicken Tika
Ham
Egg with ketchup
Chicken & Eggs don't go with ketchup....bleh :puke:
You've got to pick proper meats & cheeses....capicola & asiago for example with a nice mustard...I prefer a basic yellow mustards but there are plenty of varieties.
chicken & goat cheese with lettuce, tomato & a honey balsamic reduction for sweet, tart, & savory all together.
A nice Cubano sandwich is quality, a Steak & Cheese, Club, BLT, hell bacon on anything is great but for fucks sake fry is, what is the deal with boiled bacon???
Bunch of pricks :mad:
Butter one slice of white bread, empty contents of one packet of salt and vinegar McCoy's, add second slice of buttered white bread and squish.
Eat.
LOL. Reminds me of school trips when they gave us plain cheddar cheese sandwiches so we made 'em more interesting by adding crips.Quote:

In the summer I like shaved turkey, slice of Jalna cheese, bean sprouts and beetroot slices on rye.
Closed toasties tuna, cheese and tomato. or baked beans are pretty usual for work lunches.
Open on toast, Vegemite and tomatoes is a wicked mixture on rye toast.
Im a big fan of Marmite ( our version of ya vegemite ), either on toast or in a sandwich with cheese. Today for my bait I have Pastrami and mature cheddar with a english mustard and mayo dressing in a wholemeal bun :lickish:Quote:

What is this "brown sauce" and what does it taste like?
It involves a number of vinegars and spices as far as I know, and it is quite nice. Personally I prefer Daddies over HP, but HP is the biggest player.Quote:

Nought wrong with a sausage sarnie laced with a line of ketchup. It is a wonderful thing.
I'm not really into brown sauce myself.
Now sausage and ketchup?!?! Barf
Now you're talking, nothing beats a BLT made with a fresh homegrown tomato! As a kid I used to eat tomato sandwiches with a lil mayo and fresh cracked pepper and salt but it sucks with store purchased tomatoes.Quote:

That's quite a weird and snobby attitude coming from the land of the hot dog. Decent quality sausages, fresh bread and ketchup, mustard,chutney,relish or whatever are a perfectly balanced combination that could tickle even the most educated palate. Brown sauce is a molasses based spicy conserve the best of which, HP ( for Houses of Parliament) compliments a sausage brilliantly.Quote:

The best is this one
"Robin in Horsham, West Sussex, who wrote: ‘I have poured HP sauce over my bacon sandwiches and roast dinners since I was a boy, 45 years now, and the recent lot simply doesn’t taste the same.
‘There is a strange, almost antiseptic, aftertaste which is quite off-putting. Unbelievable [that] they should tinker with an institution. Too much salt indeed! What nonsense."
Sauce can be nice but on a Roast!:-X
I've had bangers before they're decent enough. I (apparently unlike the whole of England) don't put ketchup on everything under the sun.
Hot dogs are hot dogs, they aren't supposed to be gourmet sausages or anything. You buy them at a ballpark or have them at a cook out or while camping....you CAN dress them up a bit and go for Brats & Italian sausages and those have a bit more flavor and require toppings like kraut, peppers & onions, etc. But your basic hot dog should be: yellow mustard, chilli, onions, slaw....maybe ketchup I usually get ketchup on mine and I'll on occasion throw some Texas Pete on there too. Beer Brats & Kraut with some brown mustard is great and Italian sausage with peppers & onions and brown mustard is fantastic as well. I don't diss your sausage, just your need to put ketchup on everything.
I'm very open minded when it comes to cuisine, and I would love to try more authentic English food, but ketchup on chicken, eggs, sausage....that to me is horrible, like the people who put the fucking marshmellows in their sweet potatoes....when I am President that shit is the 1st thing getting banned!!!
Lyle, not sure if you get iPlayer in the USA, but listen to the Danny Baker show on Saturday morning...they actually have the sausage sandwich game, which generally involves asking celebrities whether they prefer Red Sauce (ketchup), brown sauce or no sauce.
Personally, it depends on the quality of the sausage. If it's a butcher's sausage that has high quality meat and some interesting spice / ingredient combinations, then I'll usually go for no sauce.
However, if we're talking about the bog standard banger made from mashed up hooves, tail and gristle, brown sauce is perfect.
I think Lyle needs to come to England and stop in a layby on a shit day for a breakfast bap from a dirty food van with lashings of tommy K of a drop of brown.
Nothing better than food from a guy in a layby who has a certificate from the council to prove that he washes his hands after having a piss behind his mobile kitchen.
You can find good hot dogs, you just have to go to a good hot dog place. There's a great place here that makes their own hot dogs and sausages. Mustard, onions, maybe sliced tomato, jalapeno, kraut, pickles, etc. No ketchup and no chili, not a big fan of chili dogs. Or chili-cheese dogs, for most places that's just a good sign that our hot dogs are shit so lets cover them in chili and cheese so you can't taste them. Plus its just too much.
Good turkey, avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayonnaise, good roll or bread. Solid.
Who the fuck puts tomato sauce on a roast dinner? Seriously... none of us have ever seen that. Fact.
Mate I shit you not. Toast some rye bread and then put marmite on it, then just sliced tomatoes, you wont look back its a match made in heaven. ;)Quote:

Been doing alot of tuna fish too. Some salsa sauce, pepper, diced tomato & spinach all mixed. Toasted wheat and a fat slice of swiss cheese!
Back in the smoked out days PB&J, crunchy, with huge handful of cool ranch Doritos in between bread and pressed together ;D or a grilled cheese(s) on Texas Toast with ham and buttered. Shit I'm hungry!!
Corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, provolone chesse, finely chopped sauteed onion
When i was in Vegas last, we popped into some cafe/diner, and got BLT, I was craving for some bacon, now the sauces they offered, one was brown, but it was called Steak Sauce, when I tried it, it ghad a similar taste to HP brown sauce.Quote:
