…this lunchtime I will be tucking into cheese and tomato ketchup sandwiches (out of choice – the fridge wasn’t empty!).

So what childhood favourite do you still eat?

Tuna Mayo. Always had those for school trips, great memories.

Heinz Sandwich Spread.

Fishfingers with lettuce & salad cream sandwiches…..although I tend to have tartare sauce these days if it’s in the fridge.

Marmalade.

Peanut butter and banana – fried in a bit of butter. Taken from the classic ‘Why Don’t You’ during the school holidays many moons ago

Grated cheddar with salad cream

Chopped pork – although I suspect this may be a Glasgow / Lanarkshire thing.
Chopped pork is the inexpensive and fat laden sliced cold meat available from butchers / delis and is a staple of kids packed lunches.
It is undoubtedly made of all the sweepings from the butchers floor, Lips and eyebrows etc.
It’s what the kids get when the grownups have real ham or roast beef.

It is utterly delicious – especially on a toastie.

Fish finger butty on crap white bread with a couple of cheese singles and loads of ketchup

Thats what I’m going to have for my lunch, I reckon 😀

Philadelphia and jam in white bread sandwiches.

Anything really … but with crisps IN the sandwich.

Egg mayo. Our canteen does a sandwich, which has a massive filling of egg mayo with salad and extra boiled eggs bursting out of a big brown roll. I have it with a packet of squeeze ‘n bunion crisps and can’t help salivating when I eat it, as well as dropping bits all over my desk. A cheap but messy meal at £1.10.

crap white bread (needs to be fresh though)
salty butter
strong cheddar (slices not grated)

Reminds me of Sunday tea at my Nans.

Chopped pork – although I suspect this may be a Glasgow / Lanarkshire thing.

Its still one of my guilty pleasures as well PP. Lovely, unhealthiness of questionable origins. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

salad cream & salt/vinegar crisps

Sliced Mars Bar on white bread (big family 70’s austerity)
Peanut butter and tinned pear

Banana, bacon and honey on thick granary . . . . mmmm

Golden Syrup.

Piece and crisp. Brown sauce.

Chip Butty!

Crab paste. Or sardine and tomato paste, if I can find it. God knows what kind of trawler-scrapings are in it.

Sliced Mars Bar with sliced apple on white bread.

dairy lee cheese and crisps, squashed down flat, nom!

Chopped pork – although I suspect this may be a Glasgow / Lanarkshire thing

Nope, chopped ham and pork down here in the midlands with a smear of tomato ketchup on the finest sliced white bread nom nom

Plain old nana sammich is always good too

Peanut butter and sliced banana.

Marmite, mature cheddar and pickled onions. Needs thickly sliced fresh white bread. Powerful but oh so good. Washed down with dry cider (that bit’s not from childhood!)

Salt’n’vinegar crisps on white bread (with butter).

For pud, mashed banana on wholemeal, maybe with a pinch of brown sugar for a bit of texture.

Cheddar cheese and strawberry jam

An excessive amount of salt ‘n vinegar crisps in white buttered bread and squished down with the palm of your hand and then opened up to add a squirt of ketchup. 😀

Cheddar cheese and strawberry jam

Food of cyclists. Well, before gels.

Now this is true. I was once standing in a sandwich shop in Sheffield waiting for my standard boring butty when a bloke came in for a “ham, jam, onion and mustard”. It was rustled up for him with no fuss. Must have been his regular order.

Hot runny mashed up soft boiled eggs

Jam butty

Lettuce on fish fingers?!?!?! 😯

The de facto answer has to be the crisp butty, surely.

My contribution: Marmite and ketchup sandwiches. Om nom nom.

Thick sliced cheddar and picallili.

thats 2 for peanut butter and banana – winning!

Not so much childhood, but in my late teens the best sarnies I ever had were made by my dad (for himself). Coming home from the pub he would always offer me his late night snack (generally ham, cheese, home grown tomatoes and plenty of salt). I, of course, would accept and he would make more for himself 🙂 .

Good times…..

Egg mayo,tomatoe n cheese <<< on a roll/bab/cob/barm/teacake/stotty thing

Wonderful spam

Cheap white bread, cheap spread, liberally sprinkled with sugar.

None. Hated sandwiches I got as a kid. Especially packed lunch ones as they’d be wrapped in cling film and all squashed. Was just a mush of bread and some filler stuff.

Chips – rolls not bread with about half a bottle of hp brown sauce

I’m with perchypanther, Binners and Votchy, PEK. Chopped pork sarnies on Sunblest Bread with Tomato ketchup. Saturday afternoons in the 70’s.

CHiPs, Wurzel Gummage, Dukes Of Hazard……………

Washed down with Kia-Ora and Black Forest Gateaux. Winner

Ham, cheese, tomato snaps, preferably in a crusty roll! Will always be awesome!
