The Great Sandwich Debate

[Reg Smeeton]

If you take one slice of Hovis....bung a sausage in it and wrap the bread around, is it a sandwich or a wrap?

Only 1 slice of bread? Then it's only HALF a sandwich. Wrapped in an unconventional way.

On the first picture there are quite clearly 2 HALVES of ONE sandwich.

We simply abbrieviate this when using casual vernacular: 'giss'a sarnie, Bob.'

  If you concede that a sausage bunged in a slice of bread and wrapped is a sandwich, then clearly it is one sandwich.

But Reg if you went to a cafe and asked for a bacon or sausage sandwich and only got what I would consider half you'd feel a little ripped off surely?

 Maybe use of the term butty would help.   Where a butty can be defined as consisting of two slices of bread with appropriate filling.

Now we're on a roll  

A Chip butty would be my favourite, but again, being slightly anarchic, I actually prefer these to be open, a simple crust with lots of butter and the chips smushed (yes, smushed) into the bread and then liberally sprinkled with vinegar, malt of course, unless you have some mouth-puckering 'non-brewed condiment'.

[Reg Smeeton]

Right.... so that would be an open sandwich?

 Not to be confused with The Open, Sandwich.

I concede that a Sausage bunged in a slice of bread and wrapped is HALF a sandwich. If you had a sausage in TWO slices of bread it would become a sandwich. Hopefully a delicious one, at that.

No, a butty - but with a twist.

  One sausage or better chipolatta, doesn't work in two slices of bread...must be in one.

Any self respecting sausage butty maker wouldn't dream of using anything less than TWO sausages per butty.

 So it would be like a Danish smørrebrød,  although probably not on rugbrod.

Ah now pies.  Ask Sonic and Whits about the Wigan pies I bestowed on them at Oldham.

[Reg Smeeton]

The pies from the chippy in Wilbutts Lane, Rochdale come highly recommended.
