The pre-weekend bickering thread. The perfect crisp butty?

Mike Dean?

Mike ****ing Dean?!?!

Anyway…..drop your faux working class mock horror. The gherkin has a place in this debate. As does coleslaw.

Try it.

There is only one place where a gherkin is acceptable, I’m afraid…

come on… this is schoolboy stuff!

Warburtons toastie bread, butter, Walkers cheese and onion, squashed flat then folded over and dipped in Chinese curry sauce,
Dirty..

Hmmm,
‘moldable’ white sliced
Lurpack butter
Currently loving spicy sweet chilli , but walkers cheese and onion is the go to
And after the press, pen again and re-top with additional crisps before press 2.

Oh, and only having had time for a flapjack today, that Big Mac is making my mouth water. Bring back the mid 90’s Mega Mac I say!

Ooooh, just had a flashback to KP skips – brilliant butty material!

come on… this is schoolboy stuff!

The only schoolboy stuff going on here is the fight behind the bike sheds we’re going to have over your anti-gherkin stance.

I can (and do) eat gherkins straight out of the jar, but I wouldn’t stick ’em on a crisp butty.

A bit left field this one, but…

Cheap white bread, loads of butter and these –

Then, you sir, are missing out.

I like this thread. Eases identification of hoi polloi.

*Makes list*

Mouldable bread, heart attack amounts of butter, then cheap supermarket crisps. Ready salted, salt and vinegar, or cheese and onion. The sort that have far too much salt or other chemical flavourings that make your mouth shrivel on eating.

Anything else is just a distraction from the purity of the crisp butty.

Granary bread, butter, Wensley Dale or Lancashire cheese and just a hint of Strawberry jam. Forget the crisps.

…and to think. You thought gherkins were bad, Binners.

The hoi polloi, please. This is not the 17th century.

On topic: might have to experiment with the local Lidl cheese rolls, they’re already pretty close to crack and the addition of crips should just push them over the edge…

Hoi = the.

Hoi = the.

“Hoi polloi”, fixed phrase in modern English so it uses an article. Unless you would also drop the article from words like “alchemy”, too?

Leaving the plebs aside, I’m pleased to confirm crisp sandwiches are definitely A Northern Thing(TM).

I’ve even tried it (when in Rome Wigan). I can confirm the necessary ingredients are:

White bread (from Booths – I have retained some standards!)
Lightly salted Kettle crisps
Strong cheddar cheese (from Booths, natch)
Lightly smoked ham (from…oh you know by now)

Pretty much covers all the processed/beige food bases required for a light lunchtime snack….

You’re wrong, though. We definitely used to make them in London in the 70s.
