I'm getting a bit bored of taking ham or cheese sarnies to work. Anyone got any exciting combinations that could reignite my interest of sarnies?  :(

Brie and Cranberry is the king of sarnies.

kidney bean and Dijon Mustard may or may not work.

Not sure if you can try and heat it though.

I was so bemused this morning, I made strawberry jam sandwiches just for a change  :nod:

Step one to improving (presuming you don't do this already), is change up the bread your using. Ditch the presliced and splash out on a decent loaf. Even if it's just a bogstandard supermaret bloomer / tiger bread. Cut that baby thick enough for a proper mouthful. Consider other deliveries. Bagels. Nice wholemeal rolls. Baguettes. Whatever catches your eye.

Then it's time to start pimping up the fillings. Let's take the cheese and ham you already go for. Splash out for some posh jamon serrano or parma ham. Maybe make it a bit more flavourful with some nice salami or any other cured sausage.

Fill it out with a flavourful salad. Some nice tomatoes with some red onion for a bit of bite, maybe some spring onion, just ditch the plain old crispy iceburg lettuce.

Improve the cheese. Depending on the texture and flavour your going for, step up to a nice melty Brie or Camembert, or a really blow your head proper mature chedder or even a nice stinky blue.

Ditch the marg/butter/plain mayo and make yourself a nice honey mustard dressing to throw in (mix up mayo, mustard (english/dijon/whatever your preference is) and some honey.

There you go. Ham and cheese sandwich

Might just try this myself   :D

Thanks fb. Sounds healthier than your breakfast beast filling.

You don't like repeated threads do you sippo?  :-[

Go to Aldi/ Lidl (I don't know which one is which, the one up by the old Motorola), buy bratwurst, salami, smoked german ham and some creamy coleslaw. Cook a couple of bratties, chop up and chuck them in a couple of sandwiches, add the 'slaw and salami. Next day, smoked ham, butter and salami, chuck some cheese in there too. Alternate at your leisure.

Butter, Bovril, salt and vinegar crisps does the job for me

Ahh, just remembered one....


Pastrami, pickled gherkin, hard cheese and American mustard.  :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

cook some bacon till its quite crispy, grate some chedder cheese, chop up the bacon and add to cheese, mix it all together with some mayo and (hot sauce optional). Amazing.

cheryl cole , me in the middle and .................

I read those ingredients and saw several potential horse substitutes mentioned.  Stick with Cheddar and fried egg, with dried parsley on toasted white, known in my house as the hangover killer.

Ashley the other side?

not bad ,

Pulled pork and barbecue sandwiches are also very good.

I'm not normally a fan of pork bit I love that stuff.

oh fuck yes

What's pulled pork?

Not carved. If you buy it from sainsburys it's rank.

slow cooked barbecued/smoked pork that is tender enough to pull apart, it's absolutely amazing.

Like a spit roast?

no, i think pulled pork usually has a smokier taste. the best i've tried was chipotle.

this thread has just made my plans for lunch on Monday

The best sandwich I ever ate was corned beef and sliced pickled onions.

Having seen proper southern BBQ in action, I can guarantee you it's NOTHING like a spit roast. You basically dig a pit, fill it with BBQ coals, light it, and then cook the pork on it overnight and most of the next day until it is so tender you can pull it apart with your fingers. It's juicy and flaky and delicious in every possible way. I don't really like BBQ sauce, but there are so many regional variations of the tangy, spicy sauce that I tried it wherever I went just to see, and boy was some of it amazing.

It's better than a hog roast, and I fucking love hog roasts. I suppose the only problem is that unlike a hog roast you don't get crackling.

Spit roast... innuendo.... durrrrrr

I like a corned beef, parma ham, mayonnaise, branstons pickle, nando's peri peri sauce with crushed cadbury's crunchie sandwich. Has to be tasted to be believed, absolutely lovely. Brown bread if possible.

Bread and Jam....stunningly lovely when you are hungry.

Though i do like a nice tuna and red onion sarnie with plenty of salad cream and black pepper.

:D

It's 4D. Better to presume he doesn't know.

Your words ring true
