A friend of mine who I used to share a house with did similar.
He would always, without fail, get a slice of white bread after his meal to mop the plate. It wouldn't matter what he had been served.

Jeez, some of you guys really need to lighten up, the sammich is the cause of all the recent rioting, seriously ? 
For the rest though, embrace the culinary delight that is the dinner sammich, love your loaf !
Indeed I am led to believe the Hovis is indeed the very symbol of these forums, I see so many posts from people requesting a simple picture of it..
But back to the bread, has anyone tried the new Hovis doorstep loaf ? Now that's what a call a proper slice !

Bread & Butter with Fish & Chips, fair enough...but I'd not have it with a meal unless it was a nice bread roll with soup or something
It's racist, end of. pack it in

No it's not, not in itself.
Of course it it. Would you actually call a person of Chinese origin a 'Chinky' to their face. No. Why not? Because it's a racist **** slur, and I would best 99% would be offended by it.

Oh dear..
I must say it saddens me when every thread it seems, even one trying to be lighthearted, gets dragged down by the grammar Nazi police, broken britain mongers and racism vs PC brigade.
I fear the dinner sammich thread has had it's fill(ing), probably best to close..

Haha, untwist thy knickers internet pedant.
It's 'chinky' in reference to a chinese take away, not a chinese person. 'Curry' isn't a racial slur against people from places like India is it?
It told my partner (who is Chinese) about the term and that some people use it to describe the food still, and doesn't find it offensive. I don't think she quite understands it though, as she called another Chinese person a "chinky" once! I should really wise her up a little
As to the OP, my stepdad used to have bread with everything when I was a kid. I myself don't have bread with any meal unless it is soup, in which case get out the bread and butter! I much prefer a good brown/wholegrain bread to white though now, I love the multiseed stuff
Errr...that's because you'd never describe a person of Indian origin as a 'Curry'. I know it's a Friday, but honestly...

It's not prejudicing in any way, it's just a noun with no derogatory connotations behind it.
Like saying 'brit' instead of british.

Oh dear, are you having trouble keeping up to the conversation?
Maybe you should just go back to championing political correctness on the internets. Perhaps Germaine Greer will give you a kiss on the cheek

I would describe the meal as a "chinkie" and it is not racist in the slightest. I would also enter a fish and chip emporium and describe it as a "chippie".
I would never describe a chinese person as a"chinkie" because it is different for the above reason and to link the two is both over-sensitive and arsey.
EDIT: as luck would have it "curry" has already got the appropriate ending of "y" to avoid shortening being required, however if i was to say im off for an "Indy" as opposed to an Indian, im sure if it was a recognised term it would be accepted without a race war breaking out.

I am with the OP with this, we have bread with everything, except mash or sunday roast.
A curry is not the same unless you have some bread with it
and fish finger or even beef burger sandwiches are a basic food group afaik.
I am presently trying to lose some weight, so the first thing i cut out is bread.
Its not unusual for me to eat upto 10 slices of bread with some meals

I find that amazing, not that theres anything wrong with it!
I get making a sandwich out of the leftover main meal as another meal but i cant see the whole "turn the meal into sandwiches" thing at all!!
