STRANGE HOW A SIMPLE SARNIE
CAN EVOKE SO MANY MEMORIES
DIDNT THINK THIS THREAD WOULD
LAST A HOUR LET ALONE THIS LONG
THANK YOU ALL

I just had a horrid sandwich at lunch time from a well know high street shop.
It sounded and looked nice,BBQ chicken but by ek it tasted horrible with an aftertaste that will go on for days.

ALL PRE PACKED

YOU KNOW I CAN JUST TASTE THE DRIPPING

Awe Dizzi, that's a shame, but I know what you mean. Does it have a fresh meat counter or is it all pre-packed. If it is a meat counter, perhaps the butcher doing the carving up, will let you have a nice large piece of fat.

HI JULIA
WE DONT HAVE A BUTCHERS FOR MILES ONLY T*SC*
PRE PACKED MEATS

Yes Catchthecat, I can go along with that one. Always have grated carrot on my salads anyway.

Morning Dizzi, I agree with you about the dripping. We love it, and are fortunate to be able to buy both pork and beef dripping, loose, at our local Deli.
But, it is virtually impossible to make any from the Sunday joint these days, as the animals are bred for leanness. Having said that, I am having a beef joint this weekend to use as hot beef cobs for Saturday evening meal, and cold to carve with salad on Sunday, as they have given out hot weather for us at the weekend, and we just will not want a traditional dinner. I will try to extract some dripping, but you need to have the piece of fat that butchers always used to ask if you wanted it.

Salmon or Tuna sangas with chopped onion dressed with mayo.
Or....... Sardines with chopped garlic and touch of tabasco sauce....Yumm


Tony...:>))

I LOVE BREAD & DRIPPING
BUT YOU DONT GET ENOUGH
FROM A BEEF JOINT AN
WHERE CAN YOU GET REAL
DRIPPING FROM NOWADAYS

My OH once worked on a construction site in the bush miles from anywhere. I recall that one day I packed his lunch after a heated argument. Two slices of bread, buttered, with a $5.00 note between the slices of bread.

He was quite hungry by the time he arrived home.

Not sandwiches however I can remember my dad crunching up weetbix, mixing them with beaten egg and frying the mixture into little pancakes/fritters.

Can't say as I blame you, Mac!

Be interested to know if a sandwich you remembered from childhood tastes the same today if you tried it. Were ingredients fresher back then?
Even Spam (with English mustard) seems to taste different now..... What do'ye think?

Valerie - Canadians eat peanut butter and jam! I think that's one USAmericanism hasn't slithered its way across the border.

I think it must actually be grape jelly down there. How much even worse. ;)

I'm going to have to introduce my mum to pickled beet sandwiches (just beet; we know it's a root!) when I visit in two weeks. We loves anything pickled, including beets.

OHH yes Pickled beetroot sandwiches too with salt and pepper on the beetroot

My father used to like kidney or liver sandwiches. He would fry bread in the juices of the cooked kidney or liver and then eat them as a sandwich. My OH likes peanut and jam (I suppose this is the equivalent of the American peanut butter and jelly).

Pickled Beetroot sandwiches ,but you have to eat them as soon as you have made them or you get soggy bread and purple fingers !!

Think mine is a bit bland, compared with your suggestions.

Digestive biscuit, with bread and butter.

One of my late dad's navy ideas, I believe.

Well it isn't quite a sandwich because I put the bread and butter separate on the plate, but I put 'em in my mouth together, so I'll call it a sandwich.

Chicken guts! With pounds of salt and pepper.

Polite people call them hearts and gizzards. My dad wasn't so polite. ;)

Now that's yummy.

All these runny eggs and peanut substances and fish bits (except white tuna with mayonnaise and lots and lots of onion) ----- yeeccchhh.

OH used to have peanut butter & syrup sandwiches as a child.

When i was pregnant I would drool over hot egg omelette with lashings of tomatoe ketchup between two crusts dripping with butter ousing out. YUM could still eat it now.
I used to like crisp sandwiches too
