Just remembered I had a Reuben sandwich on Thursday at Market Café

They use marbled rye bread, salt beef, mustard, lots of sauerkraut, cheese, but needed more Russian dressing, I don’t know that there was any

Seatallan, Heinz Sandwich Spread is still available and costs £1 for a jar from Tesco. My man friend bought some the other day.

They not infrequently have it at local Sainsbugs. I try to resist buying it when I see it but sometimes succumb. :D

I lived at home when I was a student at the RAM in the early seventies and was often out in the evenings playing in concerts and shows. My father always made and left me out a Shippams paste sandwich for when I got home late.

I rebelled after a while and would give them to the dog.

Shippams paste was considered a treat for tea when I was a child. I still don't dislike it but walking past the Shippams factory with its fine aroma every day when I was suffering from morning sickness did put me off a bit :lol:.

Rare roast beef, horseradish and watercress - classic. Cold roast chicken with mayo avocado and bacon. I also love a thin baguette with cream cheese, pepper and smoky bacon crisps squished onto the cream cheese. Has to be open so maybe not a true sandwich?

In today Sunday Times the recipe section is recommending Mango Chutney and Egg sandwiches, derived from Claudia Roden's book on picnics. I am going to try that one

Yes, I would have them every day if I could! Don’t have a roast that often though sadly! Never have egg sarnies as scared of finding shell - I would have a bad reaction to that!

I like all sorts of things in sarnies.
Crisps
Bacon
Egg
Bacon & egg
Sausages
Pate (the ONLY way I will happily eat liver)
Ham, cream cheese and fresh spinach
Garlic sausage
Peanut butter

And of course .......

CHIPS!!!!!!!!

Decent brown bread spread with horseradish sauce, sliced cooked beetroot (not in vinegar) and fresh coriander leaves. Yummy.

Now that´s a new one on me - and it sounds really delish!!

Another one I’ve had recently Vietnamese banh mi (or my)
Basically a Vietnamese sub, an ultra light mini baguette filled in the classic version I had with pâtė, roast pork, Vietnamese ham (like a very superior spam), and lots of SE Asian salad

Shipham´s Sardine and Tomato Paste was never lacking in our house, even though my mum swore she never ate fish :gonzo Curiously enough, when I was in Portugal a couple of years back, the first thing on the table was something like that; far tastier and undoubtedly home-made, but it got me wondering. Was Mr Shipham Portuguese?

Bahn Mi are fantastic, aren´t they, Sue? I had one for the first time in Cincinnati last year. I think I had something like tofu in mine, but the bread I remember - delish.

My grandma loved sugar butties and also condensed milk. I have to admit neither appeal to me.

I remember having condensed milk and apple sandwiches because someone in a book had them. Only bothered once. Not sure who ate them in the book Milly Molly Mandy perhaps?
