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

@MauveLeader

No no, you need tartare sauce, ideally homemade (which is easy) but we rarely have fish fingers so no big deal

mitogoshigg · 10/11/2024 16:01

You need toast for a bacon sandwich and warm ciabatta for fishfingers in my house

MauveLeader · 10/11/2024 15:57

Fishfingers need salad cream and I say that as a complete mayo addict.

NerdWhoEatsMedlar · 10/11/2024 15:33

Fishfinger sandwiches have white bread, plus mayo and gherkins.
Or Fishfingers in a white roll with mushy peas, this one is niche.
If you can't cope with white bread, have your fishfingers with veggie curry, then you can add toast on the side.

No both with bread but i can tolerate toast with bacon

Bacon on toast. With beans.

Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon · 10/11/2024 15:10

Stop it. Stop with the crazy talk.

Its bread for a fishfinger butty. .

What are you thinking? Are you ok?

StripyDog · 10/11/2024 15:07

Fish finger and bacon sandwiches should both be made with sliced white bread and butter.

The only sandwich that should be ever made with toast is a sausage sandwich. With butter and ketchup.

Anything else is wrong!

Floralnomad · 10/11/2024 15:02

Fish fingers - soft bread and mayo
bacon - toasted or untoasted it doesn’t matter .

ilovepixie · 10/11/2024 15:00

Fish finger sandwich always buttered white bread.
Bacon sandwich can be toast or bread. Or if you're feeling fancy a bap!

I've never eaten a fish finger sandwich. They don't appeal at all to me. But I've never been a fan of fish fingers even as a a kid. My mother didn't like them so never bought them or cooked them so I didn't acquire a taste for them.

I like irish smoked bacon medallions, grilled till nicely golden & then make into a sandwich with fresh white sliced pan & real butter.

I like toasted white bread if I'm making a BLT though! That would be all wrong with just bread.

Coffeeloverme · 10/11/2024 14:56

I prefer both with bread.

unsync · 10/11/2024 14:55

I must confess I've never had a FF sandwich. However, I am partial to a bacon sarnie. I like it on thick cut, white bread, buttered or, if I can be bothered, the inside of the slice to be fried with the bacon. Then obvs lots of crispy bacon and ketchup, bit of strong cheddar and a fried egg. Sadly, this is no longer a common occurrence since it takes up an entire day's calorie intake.

Not sure where you’ve got that rule from, fish finger sandwiches are best with white bread imho. The poncified version my local gastro pub serves up on brioche is just miserable.

bacon and tomato sandwiches need to be toasted bread to cope with the extra moisture.

Brioche with fish fingers?? 😱. Whoever deemed that a good idea should be strung up by his entrails from the nearest lamppost. Or hers.

Dontcallmescarface · 10/11/2024 14:21

Bacon should be in the bin and fish fingers should be in thick, white untoasted bread.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 10/11/2024 14:04

Toast is the default for a bacon sandwich in our house.Wouldnt have it with fish fingers though.

ginasevern · 10/11/2024 14:01

Both should be made with doorstep white bread. Not brown, not brioche, not sourdough and definitely not toast.

AnotherDayAnotherOutfit · 10/11/2024 13:29

The ONLY acceptable reason to ever toast the bread on a sandwich (bacon, fish finger or any other filling) is if your bread is so far past fresh that it's lost all softness and would make an utterly miserable holding device for the filling.

And even then you should probably use that past-it's-best bread to make a cheese toastie or have beans on toast rather than spoil a good fish finger sarnie.

😱

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

I know this is going to make me sound like a knob but I like fishfingers with toasted focaccia!! If no focaccia then crappy white bread NOT toasted!!

Coconutter24 · 10/11/2024 13:12

Fish finger sandwich, white bread, butter and tomato sauce and bacon sandwich I do like toasted, butter and tomato sauce

Sudename · 10/11/2024 13:10

Soft white sliced pan with butter for both!

TriceratopsRocks · 10/11/2024 13:07

I'm sort of with you OP. When I make fish finger sandwiches I toast the inside of the bread only, to give it that slight crispy texture, but leave the outside untoasted. I have these with lettuce and a bit of mayo.

Bacon sandwiches always on bread, never toast, ideally with mushrooms and a bit of tomato ketchup. Yum!

Ketchup! Rushes for sick bag. Vinegar or tartare sauce on the fish fingers on white bread, brown sauce on the bacon. Ketchup is just an abomination . Like vinegar on chips

Vinegar on fish fingers. Just, why? All that care and attention to get them to the perfect degree of crispiness then basically pour sour water on them. Eeew 😁
Brown sauce on crispy bacon. Hmmm, maybe. Fruity, definitely.

TwoCreamEggs · 10/11/2024 13:02

You are being very unreasonable OP - fish fingers sandwiches should be made with white bread, buttered and with mayonnaise added - that is indeed the law.
