This sprang to mind in response to some of the replies on the porridge v instand porridge thread. What are your favorite sandwich fillings?

Mine are cheese and pickle or philadelphia cheese and marmite. The big son started me off on this when he was at nursery and choosing sandwich fillings for a day out. Philadelphia cheese, marmite and salad are nice in the same sandwich, but it needs to be eaten quite quickly.😎
 
Tuna and cheese
Philly and tuna/marmite/ham
Smoked salmon if I feel posh
Sausages
Nutella
Skippy peanut butter
 
Sausage and brown sauce, definitely🙂
Chip butties
Bacon, lettuce and tomato - a dream combination!
Peanut butter, banana and jam (jam on one slice, peanut butter on the other, with a squashed banana in the middle).
Grated cheese and branston pickle

When I was a kid, I used to love 'dripping' sandwiches - beef dripping (lard), with some of the brown jelly and a sprinkling of salt. Goodness knows what the healthy diet people would say about that now! Actually, when I lived in Sheffield there was a chip shop that would do chip butties, but using dripping instead of butter/marge - not on 'Change4Life's' list of recommended lunches! A friend from Wigan said that his chip shop did 'pie butties' - yes, it was a meat pie in a buttie!😱
 
lol well one of mine when i was a kid was a gravy sarnie. but also a sugar butty to. lol now tho im quite good. i have tuna mayo and sweetcorn (always light/low fat mayo) cheese and picalilly or branston small chunks. i also for a treat have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich lol.
 
Actually when I crave carbs I love chip sarnies, all the rest of the time they are something other people eat.

I do know people who eat marshmallow and chocolate sandwiches...
 
lol i havent had chips in ages let alone a chip sarnie!!!!! lol i couldnt help notice northerner has one of my all time faves on his list to a bacon and brown sauce buttie not had one of them for about 4 months now. and chocolate and marshmallow??? sounds pretty rancid to me lol
 
Sausage muffin and brown sauce - mmm mmm mmm

Used to have these the morning after a night on the town to help clear up my raging hang over - if only!! (Forgot what a hangover is like now).

Or even better - sausage, bacon, egg and brown sauce...lol
 
What is it with all these brown sauce fans? I'm a ketchup girl every time! 🙂 Surely someone's with me on this?
 
lol i do like ketchup but brown sauce is far better on bacon etc. now for the ultimate hangover cure it has to be bacon sausage egg black pudding fried mushrooms and tomatoes with fried bread and lashing of brown sauce mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm been far to long since i had that!!!!! lol
 
chicken mayo sweetcorn and bacon is lovely
tuna mayo
prawn mayo

none of the above with any lettuce, and on white bread.
 
My two favs are; tuna, grated cheese & mayo on partially toasted bread OR turkey & mayo with sliced white grapes. As for the brown sauce or ketchup debate - i like both. If I have a bacon roll from McDonalds and they ask which sauce (cos they're VERY customer & service orientated) I say 'surprise me'.

Forgot to add, brie and cranberry - yum!
 
In no particular order:

  • Plain ham sandwich
  • Chip buttie
  • mashed potatoe buttie (has to be hot/warm mash to melt the butter)
  • frazzled bacon buttie - with brown sauce
  • tuna, vinegar, black pepper with a little caramalised onion mayo
  • cheese and pickle

As you can tell I do like the "healthy" option - but then I don't have sandwiches that often.🙂
 
I asked my lot and they came up with these!


Meatballs with cheese lettuce salsa and mayo - toasted.
Tuna and sweetcorn - no mayo.
cheese and ham.
Beetroot butties.
Black pudding butties.

When i was little i used to sneak digestive biscuits , butter inbetween them and put the lot inside a big slab of bread!
I also used to eat buttered sugar butties!
But the best was bread 1" thick with lumps of real butter and tons of strawberry jam - then all melted under the grill until the jam is sizzling!

Mmmm....

Eewwww!!! I hated beetroot as a kid because it turned everything purple! Also hated the taste. A while ago though, I made a chocolate and beetroot cake for a 'Children in Need' cake stall at work - it's actually rather yummy!
 
Fish fingers
Tuna and Cheese
Corned beef and cheese
Peanut butter and jam (too long in the USA and OFF limits now!!)
Egg mayonaise

Hungry now!
 
Cottage cheese on Burgen bread - no butter or spread - so simple and healthy too!
