The great sandwich debate (inspired by le petit lapain)

A bacon and avocado baguette (preferably with the bread just out of the oven, and the bacon just fried that minute.) Perfect.

That or home made coronation chicken - but that's just in second place (only just though ;)).


I used to LOVE egg in my sandwiches (as in freshly fried) but it's soooo messy to eat :o

Its a stolen recipie not from Brewers Fayre but from a Chef and Brewer pub called 'The Hutt' on Nottingham road and mine is better as I slice the bagette horizontally and not that measly little pocket made with a vertical cut :D
 
Sirloin of Panda in a baguette. If I can get hold of that, Tiger or Gorilla will do.

Or usually it is Salami, preferrably Milano with Gherkins and mustard in brown malt bread.
 
If buying - hot salt beef sandwich from Brick Lane. It's about 8" thick and comes with a large pasting of english mustard.

If making - warm roast chicken with home made mayo. (Eggs laid by our own chickens of course)

I'll be honest. I forgot. :o

No ham or pineapple in the house either, so I'll refrain from posting right now, as most people know how to make a cheese sarnie.

theres nothing complicated to it ya know.....its just bread, cheese, ham and pineapple chunks...
 
For breakfast, it has to be lightly toasted bread, with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried mushrooms and fried egg. WOW :D

Any other time - I wouldn't say no to a decent Subway ;) Chicken + bacon, BMT, Tika etc :D
 
Funnily enough my favourite is jam :D

Hartleys seedless and some fat white bread mmmmmmm
 
Tuna mayonase and lettuce in a luke warm baquette - yum :).

One sandwich cut into half makes two halves of one sandwich. People who say otherwise obviously didn't go to school. :rolleyes:

If you cut an orange in half, you have two halves of one orange not two oranges.

You've missed an important point. An orange is defined by being one whole. A sandwich is not limited in such a way.

Ah but it is you silly northen person. :p

One sandwich = two whole slices of bread, butter/margerine and a filling.

Since when?

I can't really be bothered with this over again, but my position will not be budged.

Go to a buffet. Pick up one sandwich. Chances are there isn't even two pieces of bread involved. Open-top sandwich.

If there's two pieces of bread involved its likely that its triangles cut from larger sandwiches.

All of these could be described as sandwiches. To argue this fact is mere stupidity.

Pieces of bread, not slices, never mind whole slices, are what makes up a sandwich.

Cutting them smaller makes them proportions of a sandwich :p

One slice of bread? Surely that makes it a cracker? :p

You mean portions?

No it doesn't. They stand alone as sandwiches. You're arguing it as if you can quantify one sandwich. There's simply too many variables to do so. Its like the old question if it takes 5 men 1 day to dig a hole how many days does it take 1 man to dig half a hole?

How can you even 'debate' this when spouting such nonsense? :confused:

A cracker doesn't involve bread at all.

It was a joke :rolleyes:

... I guess the great sandwich debate is forever going to be rhetorical then. One sandwich is when there are two whole slices of bread. Once you cut them, they become a fraction of the whole.
