Captain Crunch

You're into the realms of thick white bread with thick marg and loads of white sugar aren't you?

Dunno how prevalent this stuff is in the south/rest of the UK, but in the north this is a favourite. Also good if you have it on top of "Mucky fat" an a stottie like I did as a kid. pease puddin too if you're a geordie.

Yorkshire != 'The North'. It has no presence on this side of the Pennines.

Got a plentiful supply of that. Bit salty though.

When you crave the taste of a gentleman.



(Apparently you don't put it in sandwiches though).

Katz Deli - an absolute mound of pastrami and mustard on rye bread. Couple of pickles on the side. I still find myself thinking about it almost on a daily basis.
Aye I had that in 2005, that place is a trip and a half. The overly involved payment system, all confused with your little ticket while the real Noo Yawkers give it the "of all da noive, comin' in heah treatin dis place like it's coney fuckin island on the fourth a july". Smart, it was.

Some of the entries on this thread though. You people are dirty animals.

are open-faced sandwiches actual sandwiches? What about pitta bread, or wraps? If an open-faced sandwich is a sandwich, is beans on toast a sandwich? I suppose a pizza is an open-faced sandwich - or maybe it's more an open-faced toastie. Perhaps a Calzone is a sandwich.

RETRO SANDWICH PICTURE! SANDWICHES OF 1972


In about 1990 there was a sandwich shop/deli opened near my school, where I'd get a ham salad roll on a poppy seed roll for my lunch a couple of times a week. I've tried to replicate this sandwich over the years and never come close. Different lettuce I bet. Just like you can't get a grapefruit that isn't ruby red no more.

Towers of sarnies just slapped straight on the shelf there. Probably nothing wrong with that if it's cleaned properly...I suppose? Still making me nervous.

The other mega sandwich experience I had on thet NY trip was the double dipped roast beef (roast beef dipped in gravy, then the whole sandwich is dipped in the gravy) at Brennan & Carrs in south Brooklyn.

I then carried on to Coney Island to try a Nathan's Famous hot dog, which was disappointing in comparison (but made up for by a full on fight between one of the employees and her female  supervisor while I was sat at the tables outside, egged on by the locals).

"Can I have one liver sosage, a packet of plain Golden Wonder and do you have any blue ribands? No, ok and a Bar Six then."

Plenty of change from forty pence for a Top Deck limeade and lager.

I too was also very disappointed by the Nathan's hot dogs. We should have walked along to Brighton Beach for some Russian grub.

Junior's is generally thought of as a cheesecake place but I had a really good Reuben there. The one in Katz's looks unreal, I must get one next time I'm in New York.

Does anyone know anything about Belgian sandwiches, namely why they always insist on putting eggs on them? When I was over there, I had the worst hangover of my life and was in such a daze I picked up what turned out to be an omelette sandwich in a supermarket. I was violently sick immediately after attempting to take a bite. There was a sandwich shop in Antwerp that I visited almost every day for a week and literally every sandwich had egg on it somewhere, often hidden between the other ingredients. You'd be fucked if you were allergic.

What are the things above Liver Sosage, pie cases? They look too stacked together to be pies with filling.

When I've seen these dipped sandwiches on American food programmes, I quite fancy the idea of the added flavour from the gravy or cooking juices but I'm put off by the thought of the soggy bread.

Slovakia has the same thing with cabbage going so far as to have exactly the same sarnie/bap with either red or white cabbage variations.[nb]neither pickled[/nb]

"Oh, and a packet of them cigarette sweets for the nipper."

El Unicornio, mang

Pease pudding (spread over ham). It's base old timey industrial crud but de rigeur if you've grown up in the north east of England, or (according to wikipedia) Newfoundland, Canada.



Speaking of NYC, had a gorgeous corned beef reuben sandwich at the Square Diner (which was later featured in an episode of Daredevil). Their prices must have gone up a lot since 2014 (maybe due to the show?) cos I definitely wouldn't have paid $23 for it.

Pairs of pies, stacked lid to lid. They do this in the chippy I go to to stop them drying out in the heater cabinet.

That's the clever thing. It's a crusty roll, so all the gravy does is soften the outer crust, it doesn't permeate all the way through (unless you ask for a 'knife and fork job' where they ladle extra gravy onto the double dipped sandwich)

I'd say it's not a proper sandwich if you eat it with cutlery, instead of picking it up. Beans on toast are therefore disqualified. I feel like the bread has to be baked prior to assembly to qualify as a sandwich, so pizza etc. doesn't count either. You wouldn't get one of those raisin malt loaves and call it a sandwich by itself.

Speaking of pizza though; I once made cheeseburgers with pizzas instead of bread rolls. it was like the magic bread from Lord of the Rings - one bite could fill you up for a day.

When I'm feeling hungry and particularly lazy/impatient, I like a ketchup sarnie. There's no need to even spread the ketchup  - just put a big splodge of it on one slice and let the other squidge it across the whole surface.


Black Ship

Sandwich I make at work for lunch when I'm doing a split shift:

One linseed burger bun, toasted
One side spread with plain huumous
The other tomato tapenade
Bacon but sometimes I switch it out for chorizo and pepperoni
Lettuce and tomato.

I could happily deal with that then. Thinking about it, I've eaten quite a few hot pork sandwiches round our way and always had it with gravy (along with stuffing and apple sauce - crackling on the side) so I can't have been that bothered by soggy bread.

Sheffielders are very keen on hot roast pork sandwiches, with or without stuffing. There's a chain of shops (Béres) that specialises in them and loads of other places do them as well, it's not something I've been aware of anywhere else. It always puts me in mind of the sign that used to be on the A46 near Coventry, "Hot pork next lay-by". How very dare they.

Used to fucking love these, the butchers in crookesmoor did a monster one (with crackling) for 2 or 3 quid. Sensational.
