    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

    Well this will disgust and amaze in equal measures - Scottish "plain" bread with Frys chocolate cream, broken up into little pieces, along with lashings of butter!

    OR, rather more traditionally, potato scone and lorne sausage with A1 brown sauce.

    Every single day bar a Friday when he used to go to the pub for a pint and a pork pie.

    Best butty after a load of beer....hot Hollands meat pie on a buttered bap/muffin or whatever you call them in your chip shop.
    Soaks up the beer and the juice dribbles down your chin...Grrrreat

    Panerai.


    Actually.. I would vote for the Monte Cristo.

    Turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, American cheese, French toast. Battered and fried with a dash of powdered sugar to top it off.

    Slightly toasted fluffy white bread, crispy bacon and thick slices of brie.

    Same barely toasted bread, crispy bacon, two eggs, mushrooms, a sprinkling of cheese and some chopped tomatoes. Artery busting stuff.

    Healthier option would be the rare roast beef with salad and a dollop of mayo on ciabatta from the sammich shop down the street.

    Smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel.

    Pastrami with sauerkraut on white bloomer.

    Big Mac.

    Indeed, and the contents should be enhanced by the addition of bread. As much as I like steak, it's never improved by adding bread top and bottom.

    Fresh white Bloomer (from Reeves) and very mature English cheddar cheese (sliced) topped with fresh red onion - no butter or spread with a few plain Kettle Chips thrown in and on the side.

    Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

    Will give that a go. Took me a long time to find out that crisps and sammiches- go together, due to the different consistencies.........

    Roast chicken, cheddar cheese and chunky coleslaw on a buttered wholemeal bap! Black pepper to taste. :)

    I'm sorry, you must be mistaken.

    That sounds distressingly like a lettuce sandwich to me.

    And that's clearly absurd.

    That's a heart attack on a plate.

    It does look worryingly good though...

    Never, ever watch Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Just viewing it gives you cholesterol.

    Indeed it does appear to be a Lettuce sandwich...still bloody nice though, especially on a hot summer day. Gotta be on sliced white bread though (but also very nice on a couple of slices of nice white bloomer or proper bakery bread).

    I guess I just like the simple things in life

    Not post pub:
    Buy a loaf of bread and get the baker to slice it long ways.
    Bacon, sausages cut length ways, and egg (in my case scrambled), lightly fry the bread in the left over oil in the pan for a minute or two.

    American cheese? Owes more to the petrochemical industry than the dairy industry!

    Linda McCartney sausages, grilled and split in half, two thick slices of home made bread, generous slices of Stilton, melted on top, splash of tom sauce.
    Great after a 12 hour shift, with a beer.

    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.

    Like most things there's no best of course, just lots of very good options. Today it's really strong cheddar in brown with Frank Coopers Original marmalade, I have beetroot in white in mind for tomorrow, may put some corned beef in that if the mood takes me.

    My Post Pub sandwich was often a Pot Noodle butty back in my younger days!

    keep it simples,
    smoked wild alaskan salmon and taleggio, whatever bread you want but it suits a dark nutty rye type bread

    in my uni days was a potato waffle sandwich: bread, potato waffle, fried egg, ham, cheese, chilli sauce, potato waffle, bread

    Sour dough bread - buttered, pastrami, mature cheddar, English mustard, sliced gherkin. Bliss.

  27. #77
    Another vote for the Monte Cristo. A thing of beauty. Probably.

    I'm not sure whether The Rib Man's ribs in a roll with masses of Christ on a Bike is even a sandwich, but it's a great way to start your Sunday.

    My favourite standard sarnie when I was a vegetarian always used to be brie, mayo and cranberry.

    Glad I finished my brekkie otherwise I'd be itching for a salt beef sarnie or a croque-monsieur.

    Another flavour I though would be offensive but actually quite palatable - banana and peanut butter. Pretty sure most of us have these ingredients at home so easy to try it!

    Fabulous sandwich, like a "caprese salad" in some toasted bread, but better. If you use a "Bufala milk" mozzarella, even better.

    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.

    I like to keep sandwiches simple with two slices of decent brown bread, preferably multigrain and filled with ham and mustard. I don't want some oversized monstrosity where bits fall out as or before I chomp into it.

    Prefer salt and vinegar pringles myself. And replace the butter with cheese and ham primula.

    I agree with the Iceberg sandwich being very refreshing, surprisingly tasty and lo-cal.
    One of my other 'go-to' sarnies is seedy bread, ham, bully-beef or pastrami with a dangerous amount of colmans, so much in fact that I've been known to gasp and moan in masochistic pleasure.

    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.

    2 thick slices of white bread, lashings of butter and then either salt and vinegar, or cheese and onion crisps. Preferably Golden Wonder.

    Difficult to argue with that selection. You, Sir, are clearly a connoisseur and it goes without saying, of course, that the brown sauce just has to be Daddie's.

    This is an interesting thread that got me thinking as I made my simple chicken, home made lemon mayo, lettuce, onion and cucumber sandwich today...
    Do you believe the fillings have to be put in in a certain order? Butted/your spread of choice on both sides? Should it be symmetrical? I.e. Two layers of each filling either side of the middle one?
    Maybe I'm thinking about it too much - it tastes the same either way!

    Saltbeef on dark rye, with english mustard on one side and horseradish the other. Pickle on the side.
    Obviously assuming you're not near enough to brick lane and can't make the Beigel Bake there.
