hamster Posted 12 May, 2012 Share Posted 12 May, 2012 This weekend marks the 250th anniversary of the humble sandwich. The sandwich is the favourite food item of us Brits by a squillion miles, that is not up for debate. Growing up I thought that a sandwich was 2 slices of bread with shippam's paste between them...followed by Swiss roll and custard on a Sunday night just after bath time. If you're in the area (sandwich) tomorrow you can join in the festivities.You can hold your own event in your own armchair too of you want by having a sandwich.What's your favourite filling for this most British of British delicacies?

Huffton Posted 12 May, 2012 Share Posted 12 May, 2012 Large slabs of strong cheddar. Any of your la de dah haute cuisine type fillings can f**k right off quite frankly. Although some bacon with a bit of HP tends to hit the spot after a night out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedg Posted 12 May, 2012 Share Posted 12 May, 2012 2 slices of bread with shippam's paste between them. Used to walk along the roman wall in chi, past the shippam's factory, to get to the old swimming pool for lessons. Always remember it as the factory smelt awful!!

hamster Posted 12 May, 2012 Author Share Posted 12 May, 2012 I hate to think what constitutes a 'paste'. My rave would be coronation chicken ATM in honour of the queens speech about austerity made whilst sat on a f off throne with a f off diamond encrusted crown. We Brits are so thick sometimes but I guess one gets what one deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 12 May, 2012 Share Posted 12 May, 2012 Life is a sh1t sandwich. How good it is depends on the thickness of the bread. God I miss bread - on a diet b4 daughters wedding, since Sandance last Friday Beer Spuds & Bread are banned Arrrrrrrgh But, on the upside 3kg lost in a week & can still drink a large Scotch each evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
