[Closed] Childhood sandwiches you still enjoy...

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

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

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!

Can't say I still eat the last 2 of these, but still love the 1st 2
Cheese & salad cream
Crisps
Hundreds & thousands sprinkled on bread
Sugar sprinkled on bread

None. Hated sandwiches I got as a kid.

This ^. I was also forced to eat crap sandwiches. A speciality in our house (which my parents continue today) was that you get ONE slice of salami/ham or a few slices of cheese, irrespective of the size of the bread. Filling surface area must never exceed 50% of the surface area of the bread.

Most meat was leftover joint from Sunday. Usually 90% gristle. All meat was sliced so thinly you could see through it. Bought sandwich filling meat was usually haslet or lunch tongue. Effing rubbery inedible muck. If you're lucky enough to get bacon on a Saturday, it will be one slice with the rind left on.

Chutney etc was applied haphazardly, if at all.

Bread was heavily spread with margarine, I ****ing HATE margarine and always have!

Bread was always poncy granary/wholemeal from an actual bakers. Delicious when it was fresh (it never was), like wood the day after. All bread was frozen in the paper bags it came in, so it had horrendous freezer burn.

My Sister and I christened my Mum's favorite poncy wholemeal stuff 'carpet underlay bread', because it tasted like eating carpet underlay. I wanted cheap white crap bread like my friends so damn hard.

Needless to say, as soon as I moved out the sandwich situation was rectified. I won't let someone else make me a sandwich to this day.

Decent bread, so heavily overloaded with filling and lashings of condiment that margarine is redundant (proper butter if I need it). Bacon sandwich requires cheap white, at least a pack of bacon, and sliced salted butter.

Salad cream sarnies. Ketchup sarnies.
If I'm feeling a bit posh , with plain crisps.

Thick white bread, butter, Bovril & ready salted crisps - and squashed after making. Yum!

Remember the little frozen pizzas you could buy in iceland in a stack of ten in a bag? One of them in a white bread sarnie with enough butter to drown in !!! Nom.

A bread butty?

I love cheese and tomato sauce, cheese and brown sauce, cheese and salad cream......basically cheese with some sort of sauce

Beetroot and salad cream 🙂

We had the old plopped ham and chalk in Cheshire as well

White bread, butter, rasperry jam bag of s and v crisps....

Corned Beef and hp sauce or just a hp sauce sandwich

Penny Dip - the most gorgeous bread type thing everrrrrr!

Roast a joint of beef....butter bread, dip bread into the liquor salt and pepper....

nothing beats the taste of this...nothing....

Egg or crisp butties for me

Remember the little frozen pizzas you could buy in iceland in a stack of ten in a bag? One of them in a white bread sarnie with enough butter to drown in !!! Nom.

Wrong!

Cook two and put the cheese sides together.

Lemon cheese/curd.

Not the clear stuff, the proper thick, sugary stuff.

Warbies crust, Lurpak, lemon curd.
Genius.

Ribs boiling on the stove for Saturday tea, surely?
🙂

Sandwich I still eat now? Cheese and marmite. Yum!

Chicken,salad cream and cheese and onion crisps.
