i'm actually craving an egg & cress sandwich now
hadn't planned to leave the house today though

if i make my own egg mayo i'm gonna add a little bit of cheese in there. tomato or tomato relish is good on the sandwich. anything else is too much. cucumber is yum. sick "i hate egg mayo sandwiches" mouthy you have ruled yourself out of having any opinion about a sandwich ever
this is much better than picking over the carcass of HMV
i'm starving

A sandwich must not ever involve soggy bread.

there is nothing better than a proper cheese salad sandwich with salad cream not mayo on a summer day
Marks are doing egg tomato and salad cream at the mo which is pretty dope but doesn't make up for the disappearance of their pastrami and pickle

Tomato is worse than cucumber for making bread soggy and ruining sandwiches. Really if you insist on having either cucumber or tomato in sandwiches you need a protective layer of lettuce in between it and the bread.

I'm guessing I won't be able to get the Matthew E White album from HMV on Monday, right?
This is true, Noodle, but part of the platonic purpose of a sandwich is portability. Tomato and cucumber both make this an obsolete property.

i got little ish with soggy bread tbh, tho if i was pre-preparing a sandwich with salad in i'd make sure i wrapped it tight to avoid the worst problems
― non-elitist melted poo (Noodle Vague), Friday, 18 January 2013 12:52 (eleven years ago) link
Tomato and Cucumber = fine if you're going to eat the sandwich right away. The only time I'd ever prepare a tomato or cucumber sandwich to eat later, I'd have to butter it well and make sure I wrap a paper napkin round it before packing it away #protip

XP When I worked as a cook in a big nursing home I had to make hundreds of egg and mayo sarnies from scratch - from huge pans to boil the eggs to shelling the bastards and mashing the fuck out of them - and quite frankly after that I never wanted to see an egg and mayo sarnie again. The stench of the eggs lingered for hours, it was disgusting. So I do kind of sympathise with Nick S.

In non-sandwich news, Sister Ray have said that they'll trade a HMV voucher of any size for 20% in-store discount which might help anyone in London stuck with one.
You can go back to talking about egg sandwiches now (which, for the record, Nick S has right, they're vile).

bit of mustard, spring onion, w/w vinegar, tarragon, salad leaves and you got yourself a banging egg mayo sandwich
leave your cucumber slices in some w/w vinegar & sugar for a bit to extract the water, add some chopped mint to your butter and you got yourself a banging cucumber sandwich

If we're getting fancy with sandwiches then fuck sandwiches, we ought to get into serious territory and talk about rarebit. The other week I made the most amazing rarebit, with caramelised onion, pulled ham hock, proper real ale, dijon mustard, and a good mature cheddar on a proper granary bread from a real baker. It was literally one of the best things I've ever eaten in my entire life.

in the summer, i love eating cucumbers just as they are - i cut off half of one and eat it like a chocolate bar. the most delicious, refreshing chocolate bar ever.

beyond "why would you cook", if you're gonna take the time to cook why would you make a fucking sandwich?
sandwiches are probably HARDER to make than just baking stuff or whatever, i've never managed to do it

My girlfriend's mum made me a next-level croque madame on boxing day. It was sort of like a little egg'n'cheese'n'ham pie made from hollowed out french bread or something. amazing.

Bread can come pre-sliced. Meats and cheeses can come pre-sliced. Lettuce naturally comes in useful sandwich-sized leaves.

the stuff falls out or the bread splits apart or i can't chop things or i spill everything or you pick it up and it just disintegrates and everything goes everywhere
i would never inflict the process of making a sandwich on myself
― lex pretend, Friday, 18 January 2013 15:14 (eleven years ago) link
why would you ever buy bread that WASN'T pre-sliced, i tried to slice a non-sliced loaf before and everything just went wrong
― lex pretend, Friday, 18 January 2013 15:15 (eleven years ago) link
it disintegrates because you've put fucking cucumber and lettuce in it, you idiot.

We keep a sliced loaf in the freezer so Em can have beans on toast when I'm out, but other than that I never, ever, ever buy a pre-sliced loaf.
