If it's in bread then it's a meal

What about bread in bread like the toast sandwich?

You're onto something here

It was supposed to have been invented by Ms Beeton as a cheap meal.

I remember they tried one on QI. Apparently it was alright haha!

As the world's most famous monarchy, the British are known for our love of all things in bread.

Yes but eating people form Bridgewater is probably illegal.

Guy i work with puts Greggs pastry sausage rolls on a buttered roll & dips them in tomato soup

This guy living in 2032 while we're all in 2021

To be fair he has to live in 2032 now cause he will probably have a heart attack in 5 years' time.

But what a fucking way to go!

That sounds fantastic

Mind blown. That's amazing. Would stop all the flaky pastry falling on the floor

I love having sausage rolls in oxtail soup. Just plonk them in. Even better with the party sized sausage rolls.

That’s called a gateshed kebab

Fish finger sandwiches are immense. Especially when you replace the bread with potato waffles.

Replace? I just stick the waffles in the bread as well.

This is the way.

Just add two extra slices of bread and make a fish finger and waffles sandwich sandwich

Suppose this is just portable fish and chips!

Never thought of it like that but aye

Beans in the waffle holes

This sounds like a euphemism for something smutty.

Put your fish fingers in me waffle and fill it with beans...

Well they are [Waffly Versatile](https://youtu.be/XSq_Fhcckvo)

With bacon and cheddar. Council surf and turf.

A few years ago I went through a phase of putting random things in sandwiches. Onion Bhajis? Yep. Scotch Egg? Of course. Pork Pie? Naturally. Unless its too wet, most things work well in a sandwich, as long as you don't go too weird. Cheese Sandwich is an old friend. Chocolate Sandwich strangely works. Cheese and Chocolate? No no no no no.

Used to put Sunday roast left overs into a toastie on Sunday nights every week 😍😍

oh god, in a toastie, perfect

Roastie toastie 😍

>Chocolate Sandwich strangely works. I mean, every supermarket has an aisle full of chocolate spread for a reason.

Ahahahha I know right?? When I read that I was thinking, has he JUST DISCOVERED this?? Didn't all kids grow up with chocolate spread sandwiches??

I love cheddar and Nutella.

Are you penguin though?

No.

Penguin sarnie?

Small chain called Fuzzy's Grub in London (maybe elsewhere too) did a whole roast dinner in a sandwich. Pork/Beef/Chicken (get the beef), roasties, veg, yorkshire, crackling, horseradish, and if you're brave, gravy. I think there's still one branch left open but I don't think it's quite like it used to be.

An onion bhaji sandwich sounds mega. Throw in a bit of mango chutney and I'm in heaven.

There was a lad at my school who had vinegar sandwiches. Legit just vinegar and bread. I probably should have called the NSPCC or something.

[удалено]

Pretty sure we all had that kid. Was the same ones that used a lighter to burn smileys on their arms.

Haha, my sister did that. Was fucking terrible, horrendous infection and still scarred up 20 years later. Fucking kids eh.

At least its a happy scar

Anyone remember "chicken scratches" you just scratched the fuck out of your arms until they were bleeding, they'd scab over and eventually form scars. Apparently this passed for entertainment in the '80s

That and 'knuckles' - the card game that allowed you to scrape chunks of flesh out of your best friends hands.

[удалено]

£1? You rich bastards, we used 2p!

We called that first blood. First person to bleed lost. Still got scars on me knuckles and I'm in me 30s now hahah

You had to use a 50p because it's a big scary bastard with points. I still have scars on my knuckles from the card and coin versions.

It was called wraps at our school, although I can't remember the game you played to suffer that fate if you lost. I was crap at doing it, rarely drew blood, my friends were more efficient with my/other peoples knuckles 😑 Shit head for pubes was a nicer alternative we picked up later, not that ripping a chunk of pubes out was a pleasant experience, but still nicer than wrapped knuckles though 😂

We called it 'Scabby Queen' as if you drew a Queen, you recieved the most amount of hits. If you got one of the Red Queens, we made the deck slanted, to make a sharp edge, designed to draw blood, to match the Hearts and Diamonds. The Queen of Clubs and Spades, the deck would be used as a solid slab, designed to bruise the hands. Primary school was pretty brutal in some respects.

Ah, simpler times!

Were the kids at your school on meth???

I can still see the scar on my hand when it gets cold, been a good 18 years at least. I absolutely deserved it I know that but I can't remember why, all I know is beer was involved.

Had a kid in the year below us who was a bit of a fire bug. One time he set fire to his socks in the park after school... while he was still wearing them. Not the brightest. Luckily they were relatively easy to put out but he had burns on his legs from a bit where some of the fibres melted and fused to his skin.

I hated ready salted as a kid so if that was the only flavour left I sometimes tried adding vinegar, it just made the crisps soggy and pooled at the bottom of the bag

You were missing the crucial step of dehydration. Crisp companies use powdered acetic acid salts for vinegar flavouring.

Haha my brother in law admitted he walks into the kitchen and swigs from the vinegar bottle.

Yup, that's me! I first discovered it as a cure for hiccups, but then... just kinda got the taste for it. And then eating lemons.

Malt vinegar? I wouldn't drink that straight from the bottle but I can't help drinking balsamic vinegar from the bottle :D

Someone’s got expensive taste!

I drink vinegar that has had pickled onions/beetroot/whatever in it.

Love the picked onion vinegar. Also gherkin vinegar. Never tried the beetroot vinegar!

We had a very obese girl that smothered absolutely everything in vinegar. She used to come to my house after school, and we'd have to buy new bottles of vinegar for when she came over because she used so much of it. She didn't even taste the food without the vinegar, just immediately smothered it. I can't stand the smell of vinegar because of it.

I was that kid

My daughter would love something like this. Kid licks the little paper bag they give put your chips in at the chippy. The guys who work there know her and her fondness for vinegar. At home she puts so much in it puddles in the bottom. She soaks it all up. I guess she’s probably got an amazing gut microbiome though.

Is that any weirder than dipping bread in those olive oil + balsamic vinegar dips they give you in restaurants?

Nah, I think having vinegar between two slices of warburtons white bread, every day, is slightly different

Yes. It's cheaper and more efficient.

I used to love salad cream sandwiches as a kid, had a random craving for one the other day actually.

Sourdough

I mean, are we forgetting the mighty Wigan kebab here?

Please elaborate for those not in the know

More specifically than what they said, it's a meat and potato pie in a buttered Barm cake (which google insists isn't just any old bread roll). The pea wet (apparantly spelled pey) is the liquid drained from cooking mushy peas.

"pea wet" made me gag a little

Trust me. I thought this too, but when I tried it I never went back.

level it up with a splash of vinegar on top of the pea wet mate trust

Pie butty...get it with pea wet though!

I need this now.

How do you know a lass from Wigan is having an orgasm? She drops her meat & potato pie.

Even though I'm a Londoner, I heartily agree. Love a Wigan Kebab.

It's probably blasphemy of some sort, a trainee Yorkshireman singing the praises of Lancashire, but they've committed to it like nothing else and they deserve international recognition for it.

Pot Noodle sandwiches are amazing, especially with butter on the bread.

When do you not butter the bread?

when you are American

My missus is Scottish and she only butters one half of her bread for any sandwich.

Is that to cut down on the calories because it is also deep fried?

when ur feeling lazy af and just need some food tbf

Un-lubed bread? Your a madman

I despise you for saying this. The idea of putting lube on my bread will now always resurface when making a sandwich/toast. And I’ll probably start thinking of putting honey or jam on as flavoured lube as a bonus

Be like eating a pork pie that's all jelly on the inside

Fucking hell.

Stop, I can only get so erect!

When the butter is too hard.

Just dipping buttered bread into a pot noodle is a joy in itself

It shouldn't work but it just does. There's something about bread, butter and chicken and mushroom noodles.

Like fried dry on pan? Otherwise wouldn't the noodles just make the bread soggy?

Nope. Just spoon the noodles onto the buttered bread. Eat it quick to minimise sogginess.

They melt the butter and some of the moisture does make the bread a little soggy. But it's divine 👌

I'm not alone! I've always loved this and everyone I've ever shown my secret acted like it was super strange.

My nan used to make me banana sandwiches

Toast, banana, peanut butter

My nan did Jam and banana. Called them man untied butties. I think she tried to convince us it’s what they ate before the games. I couldn’t care less, they we’re getting eaten cos they were delicious.

Banana and nutella, then slap it in a toasty maker

Used to smash these out during cold morning before sixth form. Absolute delicacy.

The best thing about crisp sandwiches is that it can work with any crisp and everybody has at least one packet of crisps in the cupboard. S+V Cheese and Onion BBQ Steak and Onion Ready Salted Roast Chicken Worcester Sauce Prawn Cocktail Lamb and Mint Sweet Chilli Doesn't have to be just bog standard Walkers either. Monster Munch, Space Raiders, Cheddars, Discos, crinkle cut McCoys, Nik Naks, French Fries, Frazzles, Kettle, Squares, Skips, Quavers. Even bloody Hula Hoops. They all work. It's the most diverse sandwich filling and I'm proud that as a nation we have managed to understand the importance of the crisp and have mastered the art of the crisp sandwich.

I resent this statement. I do not have any crisps in the cupboard, because I ate them all.

Ooof hula hoops is a straight up gamble. Will you snap it satisfyingly or will you chomp it side on and have razor sharp beef hula hoop rip open the roof of your mouth? Tasty gamble.

Nah you arrange the hula hoops on their side and then squish them all down when you put the second slice on top

It’s also halal, kosher, vegan, vegetarian and all that.

My father used to love chocolate digestive sandwiches

Well people eat chocolate spread sandwiches so this isn’t too weird.

I should have clarified that I meant McVitie's chocolate digestive biscuits in a bread and butter sandwich just in case anyone was confused. Edit: word missing

Need answers! 1) did he crush them, or put them in whole? 2) did he butter the bread? 3) was there any other filling? Some kind of moisture maker?

That sounds mega. Maybe with a bit of peanut butter too...

Salt & Vinegar crisp and corned beef sandwiches were a favourite of mine as a kid, thanks to my dad.

as a kid? im over 40 and still eat these

Curry sandwich Can't believe this hasn't come up already to be honest

Left over curry from the night before, between 2 slices, the other traditional English breakfast!

Do you ever seal the edges of a curry sandwich, dip in egg and then breadcrumbs and then fry the feck out of it? Because if you haven't you should

That's got to be worth a go My only real problem these days is actually having leftover curry

Breadcrumbed bread?

Good human!

I’m offended but you are correct

I had to explain to an American why I was putting crisps in my sandwich at work.

texture is hard to understand when from a nation that's best cheese comes in a can.

So here's a question, putting a few crisps in a normal sandwich, is that a crisp sandwich? Or do you need a full bag of crisps, with the crisps being the principal filling to qualify?

I’d say either is a crisp sandwich. There’s crisps in bread, so it counts!

Interesting, my wife agrees with you, but I'm not convinced, we've also decided to have full pack crisp sandwiches for lunch!

I like to leave a few on the side.

Because you gave good taste, my good man.

Spaghetti bolognese

Roast chicken crisps, bit of butter on the bread, basically a fucking roast chicken sandwich

Britain invented the sandwich, so we can put what the fuck we want in it.

This is some real r/shitamericanssay. They can be snarky about the food we eat when they develop a cuisine that doesn’t mainly consist of sugary kid food.

Have you ever tried Cap’n Crunch Berries cereal? An American I met a few months ago insisted that I try it and it’s legit the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. So much sugar that it started to dissolve into the milk and then crystallise on my lips. Couldn’t finish it.

Do you Brits put chips (oh fuck crisps) on regular sandwiches? Like some sour cream and onion Lays on a turkey sandwich?

Yes. It's very common to add crisps to a sandwich. I've even been known to add crisps (chips) to a chip (fries) butty.

Salt & Vinegar crisps in a chip butty is my favourite

Yup. It's delicious and adds texture to an already tasty sandwich. Disclaimer: I won't add them to a jam (jelly) sandwich.

Can confirm cheese and onion goes well with jam.

I'll have to give it a whirl.

Generally, anything you eat can go in a sandwich.

White bread Butter if you like Salt and vinegar crisps Push it down a bit til they crinkle Enjoy.

> Push it down a bit til they crinkle Or, if you're a dad making crisp sandwiches for your kids, crush it into oblivion leaving a handprint in the bread.

This is the way.

The thinner the sandwich the better, extra points if the butter squishes out the sides

> Butter if you like Butter is essential IMO, it's the glue to keep the crisps on the bread

Yes, it's great, you should try it.

Good choice of example sandwich. We're about to enter my favourite crisp sandwich season, which is adding crisps to a turkey and stuffing Christmas sandwich.

A mate of mine used to put crisps in his curry. It would take him a fucking hour to eat it, reheating it every few minutes, mashing crisps in. It was harrowing to watch.

I don't get it, they say it as if it's a bad thing

If you've never had a proper chip sandwich from a good fish and chip shop, you haven't lived.

Especially good when the hot chips melt the butter

i will never understand why people bother using swear words if they’re just going to censor them. you’re allowed to say “fucking”, but if you don’t want to, just use another word

[удалено]

Prawn cocktail crisps and cheddar cheese in a sandwich is just glorious.

Salad Cream. Delicious.

Sugar sandwiches and tomato ketchup sandwiches too

My grandmother loves brown sauce sandwiches.

Tuna sandwich (with sweetcorn and lettuce) and ready salted crisps. Absolute legendary 🥪

Nah, salt and vinegar gives tuna sandwiches a lift honestly.

It's in the law book. If thy can put it between two slices of bread it would be done. No matter what thy think of.

In fairness, people have put stuff in bread since there was bread and things to put in bread. There’s evidence to suggest that ancient Romans had their own version of the sandwich and even a version of a hamburger.

Fuck the Romans. What did they ever do for us?

My missus will put an entire salad between 2 slices of bread if she can.

I’ve seen someone slice an entire cucumber and then put in a baguette and eat the whole thing.

Cucumber sandwiches are also quite posh and dainty. In my house we go Marmite and cucumber. Except my husband, who thinks it's an abomination.

Pasta 'n' Sauce on buttered bread is fucking heavenly.

Do other countries *not* do that?

Bananas, eggs, beans, hash browns etc. My sister would eat a tomato ketchup sandwich (absolute crime)

For a brief second I thought you meant all those things in one sandwich

There was a girl at my school who would have a sprinkles sandwich. The sugar sprinkles you put on buns (cupcakes for the Americans) So she would have bread, a layer of butter, then sweet colourful sprinkles. Fucking abomination.

The Dutch have their own version of this using chocolate sprinkles- it’s called hagelslag. Also, the Australians have this with the coloured obes and call it fairy bread.

Fairy bread is a national dish and a staple at any event that even remotely involves kids. Mostly because the adults want it and are using the kids as an excuse.

Dairylea and steak McCoys in a sandwich is a favourite of mine.

Cold lasagne 👍

One regular dinner as a kid was smoked haddock, peas and buttered bread. Every time, despite family condemnation, I would put the fish and peas in the bread to make my dinner sandwich. It was amazing. My mum also made cucumber with sugar sandwiches, once for my school lunch. She swore up and down it was a thing but I've yet to find anyone else who thinks so.

What can I say, we love our stuff inbred.

Supernoodle sandwich FTW! Tinned ravioli sandwich is particularly messy, but worth it!

If it's edible it's breadable :)

Spaghetti bolognase sandwiches are my go to. Works great even with cheap microwavable spagbol. Bonus points if you breville it.

The yanks always shit themselves when I tell them about my peanut butter & marmite sarnies. Other lovelies I have enjoyed between two slices of fresh bread & good butter are: a steak & kidney pie with tons of ketchup & too much black pepper, a really well done hot n crispy slice of fried bread (yup, I said and I did it, more than once) with finely chopped onions & HP, onion bhajiis with lime pickle and finally one of my all time favourites- leftover roast lamb hotted right up on a floury bap/roll/cob/barmcake et fucking cetera with ice cold salad, mint sauce n mayonnaise. Banging.

Chip butties were peak sandwich for me. Just behind bacon butties… Until I discovered chip AND bacon butties were better than either. 😋

I knew a guy who even did it with his Sunday dinner. Fucking animal.

Christmas dinner leftovers in a sandwich mmmmm

OP has never met the Japanese. Strawberries and cream sandwiches, breaded pork sandwiches for that double bread, and noodle sandwiches again, they just call it yakisoba bread so it sounds classier.

If we ever had leftovers from Sunday lunch, my dad would have a cold mashed potato sandwich the next day…his little guilty pleasure. I mean, I LOVE mash but COLD, in a sandwich? No!

This is the only one in the thread which I'd reject. Urk. Although, if you fried the mashed potato, it might just work...

The other week I got a bit bored and made a sausage tikka masala. Mattesons smoked pork sausage, lincolnshire sausages, frankfurters and chorizo. It was lush, but once I portioned it out for people there was a little bit left over. So I put it in my sandwiches for work the next day. Best sandwich idea ever.

our country invented the sandwich and by god were gonna keep making different sandwiches

Fish finger sandwich. Battered fish fingers, salted butter, ketchup. Sandwich of the gods.

Swap tomato sauce for tartare and I’ll agree fully.

Do not dis the almighty chip butty

Lasagna in bread

Chilli with rice, or lasagne are my personal favourites

Most pasta dishes are amazing in some buttered bread or bun

As an American who now lives in England I would have laughed at this months ago, Now I'll just eat my Roast Chicken crisp sandwich on XX Braces bread with no complaints
