British Sandwich Week 8 - 14 May 2016
My all time favourite sandwich is cheddar cheese and onion on white bread with sweet piccalli instead of butter with lots of salt.
I also enjoy cheddar cheese,little gem lettuce and beetroot on seeded brown bread Not very adventureous all at. ![]() Just a few interesting bits about sandwiches: 11.5 billion sandwiches are eaten in the UK each year, if placed end to end they would go round the world approx 44 times. More than half of these are made and eaten at home. Over 3,500,000,000 sandwiches are purchased from UK retail and catering outlets each year. We paid over £7,850,000,000 that is as much as 36,500 brand new Ferraris(sp) Average price per sandwich £2.07p each There is more information on www.britishsandwichweek.com |

Occasionally a combination of the two

I love a salt and vinegar crisp sandwich.
This is what I do. Place some S&V crisps on a plate and put in the Microwave for a few seconds until they are warm, take out of microwave and sprinkle with malt vinegar and then make your sandwich. Lovely. |

Lovely. How did you invent this? As early humans learnt to use fire? ![]() As it's supposedly hotter than Barcelona we need to be on the cucumber sandwich as that's what they prescribed for hot weather. |

Do you remember the sugar sandwich though?
I remember some kids eating that although unfortunately we were never allowed that kind of thing. |

I know it's not British, but a Reuben takes some beating for me.
We invented sandwiches as a concept so I'm having it. |

My favourites are ham, ham salad, bacon and sausage and, as mentioned above, a good crisp sandwich, although I've never tried them hot.
I also like a chip sandwich (or chip buttie as I usually call it) which my wife thinks is a crazy combination. |

The corned beef used is very different to what most of us would think of as corned beef.

We're crap at sandwiches, look at those limp pathetic things supermarkets sell in cardboard containers.
Now Americans, they can do sandwiches. |

It's hard to explain. In the U.S. it is brisket that is brined and then slow cooked, it's really different. This explains it a bit:-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corned_beef#North_America Have read that this is the proper Irish corned beef but have also read that their corned beef is the same as ours, can an Irish poster enlighten me? |

Have read that this is the proper Irish corned beef but have also read that their corned beef is the same as ours, can an Irish poster enlighten me? Pickled/cured brisket (or other beef joint). Can be poached and/or roasted. If smoked it's usually classed as pastrami. If you catch Floyd on Britain and Ireland he makes it in an episode. I have no idea how it went from that to what we get in tins/packets these days. |

No one ever mistakes the two, as they are used for different things. ![]() That said, if you are out with a non-Irish person in Ireland and they see corned beef and cabbage on a pub menu, they look at you as if the chef is a raving lunatic. Unless they are an Irish American person - they know the score |

My husband was born in the Potteries and as a child he had sliced orange and sugar on a sandwich.
![]() Also sauce on a sandwich.. Not my cup of tea. Sauce - I reckon that will be probably be HP PS Re your other post - Yes! Pls bring back Dick Emery, where he is dressed as the lady with the bouffant with the handbag - "You are awful"- we were reminiscing about him recently. My OH makes decent sandwiches with interesting fillings. I'm more chip buttie, chicken, ham & mustard, crisps yes, just tomatoes - so a bit dull. I agree the US are probably better at sandwiches, and what about the Danes with their open sandwiches- think they know how to do it http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/12/s...-sandwich.html |
