Making sandwiches for tomorrows work, same old boring shit, ham and cheese (it is galic rock cheese though), egg mayo with encona hot pepper sauce. No doubt throw in a banana and a yoghurt and somthing covered in chocolate. Pretty standard fare.

Whats in your bait box or what would you put in if you had one.?

I make lunches for Daivd and make Sammies, some type of sqaure, some kind of fruit and something exotic.

Crispy bacon and avocado on the nicest toasted bread possible, with mayo. Make sure you mash the avocado and put in salt, pepper and squeeze of lemon juice.

With cheese, always grate it. ham and cheese is only boring with no mayo on a standard slice. Get the nicest tomatoes and salad you can.

If it's proper ham, a plain ham, English mustard and mayo sandwich is bliss. Sliced tomatoes and some lettuce can improve things yet further, but sometimes the purity of the ham/mustard/mayo mix is best left unsullied.

Not sure I agree about grating cheese. I like the texture of good cheese and grating wipes that out. Thin slices are better, particularly if it's good hard cheddar (ie not sweaty rubber horror). Also: grating camembert is difficult.

Ricky T, I am the gastropornographer, remember? Grating cheddar works well for me, as with most hard cheese which tends to sweat in a packed lunch situation.

Grating is, well, Grate! for grilled cheese sandwiches...

Peanut butter. At times, peanut butter and jelly, at other times, just jelly. Sometimes something chocolate, usually not. So exciting.

You make it the night/evening before?!? My lunch will be fruit-salad today. Yesterday it was sushi and yoghurt.

I brought a sandwich to put in the sandwich toaster. And I put it in the toaster and forgot about it. About an hour later I remembered it and it had become Something Else Entirely.

carrots are good for grating on a sandwich.

I used to be addicted to brie/granny smith combo. My Dream Sandwich: roast beef, tomato, cream cheese, vinegar, salt and pepper on pumpernickel. yes!

A little horseradish in the Philly would make that PERFECT, you know.

I got so het up about the grating issue that I forgot to mention my ideal sandwich. Which is: peppered salami, cream cheese, cucumber and black olives on a good chewy crusty white.

I hate cold fillings in sandwiches. Thats why bacon and brie toasted is my choice.

You bastards. It's now lunchtime and I have no idea what to have. This could possibly call for me going to Fishco and just having CHIPS.

Amazingly good chips.

Mmmmm. Why don't more people eat CHIPS. I had some last night and they were BRILLIANT. Chips vs sandwiches. Americans can't join in cos you don't know what proper chips are. This is proved by maths AND science.

Chips=Ireland. Sandwiches=Holland. I'm going out for lunch even though the canteen is free. I want to buy some cds.........I don't know which ones......

― Ronan, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why choose between chips and sandwiches when you can combine both to produce the wonder that is the CHIP BUTTY?

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I just went for the healthy option. Chips with Onion Rings, Chicken Wings and a chocolate milkshake, I'm such a child.

― Ronan, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ricky t you don't have 2 degrees for nothing y'know.

CHIP BUTTIES ALL ROUND

and i am having a pot noodle for lunch. this is out of desperation at nothing else being in sainbury's for under £1 - i know this in no way excuses me from eating this filthy concoction.

*if* i had a sandwich i would like it to be avocado, tomato, vinaigrette, salt and pepper and red pepper. maybe houmous. mmmmm.

I go through phases, usually coinciding with a diet or spending cutback, when I resolve to make sandwiches to take to work but I just end up with rancid cottage cheese and a bendy cucumber still sitting in the fridge after a fortnight. Today I had brie and salad in a stale old baguette from the canteen at work, plus a cherry flavoured Muller. My favourite sandwich is hot sausage and wholegrain mustard between two slices of really pappy, white bread.

I'm feeling quite smug having seen what everybody else ate, even if I am going to die of heart disease

― Ronan, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah you see but chip shop does not SELL chip butties. In fact you can't ask them for a chip butty. You must ask for chips and 2 rounds of bread and butter please and then surrepticiously (is that spelt right Pinefox?) make it up yrself.

Have decided chips are more of an "eat on the way home" thing. I had a HAM AND BRIE torpedo (more of a roll if you ask me but who be I to argue), some Walkers crisps yum yum and APPLE JUICE.

Ricky T has two degrees? I have six degrees of seperation from Ricky T ha ha. Actually, that's crap. One degree. Cos um, I know him. Arse. I think I'll get some more apple juice now.

― Sarah, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A chip shop that does not sell chip butties is a poor excuse for a chip shop.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pffft, it's so obviously lunchtime in London. Off for my designer egg mayo (well, I design it, therefore...) and spinach salad...

― suzy, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There is no chip butties in Ireland. I'm sure the Catholic Church found a reason to ban them or something. I still feel smug, although the brie and ham torpedo made me a little less smug.

― Ronan, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*Nothing* beats the taste of ready salted crisps, pilchards and marmalade flavoured sandwiches. However, perhaps that's for the best.....

― Trevor, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And what's all this about me only having two degrees? I've got at least two and a half!

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 3 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
