I invented a new sandwich filling

Yuk! Unsalted butter is like eating lard, sorry ladies. Fav sandwich at the moment is a nice strong cheddar with red onion and home made chutney boring but tasty on granary bread

What are your sandwich-based memories?

jenn - Yaaaay !! I thought I was the only person who loves toast with marmite and banana..... family groan when I have it.

I love a salad cream sandwich.... No salad, just butter and salad cream!

wholemeal toast, marmite and banana ;surprisingly tasty.

Having very refined tastes (caviar and the like) you can't better hot thin white toast spread with dripping and marmite

How did the thread morph into a discussion of interior decor? I am assuming we are talking about "flying ducks?

Bread, butter, tomato, parsley and marmite was one I was introduced to many years ago [the cucumber/marmite one reminded me of that, as you tend not to think of marmite combined with salad].

'Who gives' ...... AFF, hmmm, let me think - could that be 'asparagus, figs and falafel' sandwich?

I invented that acronym. But it starts "who gives..."

HollyDaze the comment was aimed at no one in particular. I was simply thinking I invented a new sandwich filling.

WGAFF

cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches.

When my son was about 6 or 7 years old, he asked for a cream cheese & lettuce sandwich - no idea what made him think of that but I made it for him. It became a firm favourite with us after that - such a summery taste to it.

I thought this was supposed to be about new sandwich fillings?

Not sure who that comment was aimed at but if it was me, then that filling was new to me; my sincere apologies for not being aware of that sandwich filling decades ago.

I bought 4 Aubergines for £1. I made Baba Ganoush and cucumber Sarnies. Delish but conscious of my garlicky breath.

I make my own granary bread, anno but soft white bread has a certain something when it comes to bananas or chips! It must be the Wythenshawe in me!

when, I'm with you all the way on the banana but prefer good granary bread. As for chip butties - they are too closely associated with my MiL!

I,ve just been clearing out the fridge prior to going away and had a peanut butter, celery, cucumber and lettuce sandwich. It was surprisingly nice. I often make up weird dishes which I name "Honey, I emptied the fridge!"
(My DH is fairly tolerant of these surprises.)

Butter MUST be made with sea salt with the crystals still in it!

I really like banana on a doorstep of white bread, slathered in salted butter, but I always fantasise about chip butties, which I only have once or twice a year.

Potato crisp butties are very nice, too - just as lovely as smoked salmon or cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches.

An award winning sandwich I read about years ago was Stilton and strawberry; it sounds a strange combination but I love it. I can't have peanut butter in the house as I can eat it by the spoonful if I do .

I like corned beef, sliced hard-boiled egg and salad cream on granary bread...it has to be salad cream, not mayonnaise

2 slices of toast spread with marmite, then slices of cucumber between.

I haven't any Ovaltine in the house but I might just try that, jings. I don't like banana on its own is the problem.

I drank iced Ovaltine at breakfast when I lived in Thailand. Breakfast was usually sticky rice wrapped in a tetrahedron shape in a banana leaf pinned with a cocktail stick which I used to buy and eat at a street stall outside the school I was teaching in. I don't think I've drunk Ovaltine since then. Come to think of it I hadn't drunk it before then either!

Smoked salmon subs, yes! With masses of parsley.

I'm an unsalted butter fan too. I buttermy bread before spreading it with peanut butter. My mother always frowned on such largesse but I can please myself now.

So I do!

I have happy recollections of pita, filled with chopped salad and falafel - on a beach in Israel...

jingle- there's nothing new under the sun, so they say

Ovaltine: it's malty. Yuck. I hate hot milky drinks anyway, with the exception of hot chocolate/cocoa, but it has to be strongly chocolaty to disguise the stench of hot milk. But each to her/his own!
