To think fish finger sandwiches should be made with toast and Bacon Sandwiches with bread?

Just idly pondering this as I make bacon sandwiches for lunch for everyone.

DH made me a fish finger sandwich the other day but with bread and it just felt wrong for some reason

Quite frankly I'm DISCUSTED OP.

The only sandwich made with toast should be toast, ketchup and grated cheddar. I don't know why, my grandad used to make them.

Anything else - bread. I will not be taking questions at this time.

My mum made that she called it pizza toast 😊 or she'd make it on English muffins

You're a wrong 'un!

both need soft white bread!

Yes! They both require cheap white bread! 😊

Neither should be made with toast!

This . Toast?? Wtaf.

FarmGirl78 · 26/04/2025 11:18

I call reverse.

No-one is this strange.

Might actually have that for dinner today now

grapefruitnights · 26/04/2025 10:39

Never toast here. I prefer them very crispy in any form of soft white bread, with Mayo, rocket and lemon, plenty of salt and pepper, and preferably a glass of cold Sauvignon. ( Also out of the pan with ketchup)

Thank you for explaining!

So if someone asks you if you want a piece of toast you wouldn't know if they meant, erm, untoasted toast or toasted toast?

🧐 tell us more about this please? Have you been using bread and toast interchangeably? How???

Show quote history

So I call bread the whole loaves. The sliced bread - ie ready to be popped into a toaster- I call toast regardless of whether it’s toasted or not. 🙈

😱

I think it's a texture thing for me. Fish finger sandwiches with bread feel too soggy.

I guess I will have to cancel the divorce papersGrin

Edited

In fairness I think DH has grounds for the divorce to proceed 😮😮

I was today years old when I realized bread and toast are 2 different things 🫣

Both with white bread and lots of butter!

HurdyGurdy19 · 21/04/2025 18:56

Well!!

I can't eat bacon sandwiches at all. They just feel completely wrong. Mine have to be VERY crispy streaky bacon, cooked almost to the point of extinction, and served in a soft white roll. I love the contrast of the very crunchy bacon against the softness of the bread.

However, if I was looking down the barrel of a gun, and HAD to have a sandwich, I'd have bread toasted on one side only, and then it would be back bacon.

Fish finger sandwiches, sorry - they have to be white bread. Nothing else works.

Missey85 · 21/04/2025 18:45

I don't use toast for either 🤷 better with white bread and lots of butter 😊

Fluffypussycat · 21/04/2025 18:36

Bacon sarnies/rolls yummy with white bread, no butter or spread. Sausage sarnies great with any bread including that made in my breadmaker. I’ve never had fish finger sandwiches.

Toast is just something I have with marmite, note not the other way round. 😆

Bacon butty - bread and butter or toast
Fish finger butty - bread & butter
Fish fingers and bacon make the best butty combo, no sauce or salad required

NeedthatFridayfeeling · 21/04/2025 18:14

Nope, both sandwichs should be soft white buttered bread 😄

Both should be made with toast.

BLTs should also be made with toast, and so should tuna salad amd egg salad sandwiches.

Pulled pork sandwiches otoh should be made with thick cut white bread.

muddyford · 21/04/2025 17:14

Fish fingers are best in a crusty baguette!

StMarie4me · 21/04/2025 17:09

Oh no! The hot fish finger melting the butter in the soft white bread… fabulous!
Only a memory for me as I eat low carb for health 😊

HarryVanderspeigle · 21/04/2025 17:08

I would go with bread for both if making for myself. But being cooked for, I wouldn't care. M&S do a good fish finger sarnie and it is toasted.

Zanatdy · 21/04/2025 17:06

Bacon is ok made with toast, but prefer white bread, and fishfingers is always bread, never toast
