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

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!

No sandwich should be made with toast.

A toasted sandwich is obviously acceptable but not a sandwich made with toast.

Bacon can either be toast or bread but if toast Brie and Chutney included

Fish Fingers always bread, butter and mayo

Tuna Melt always toast

Neither should be made with toast!

Completely agree! Op, you're mad as a Bix of frogs for suggesting either should be made with toast. Firstly, it's too dry. But with the fish finger sandwich in particular, the best part is the difference in textures - biting into soft, white bread and finding a wonderful crispy crunch. Yum. 😋

No, no and thrice no!
Thick, rubbery white bread, butter and ketchup.

notatinydancer · 10/11/2024 12:53

Both with white bread and butter.
Bacon with red or brown sauce (optional)
Fish fingers with tartare sauce.

No toast on either!!

I’m afraid that fish fingers must always be on untiasted bread. I live above a student pub and they do hangover breakfasts on a Sunday and the fish fingers are on untoasted bread so it’s the law. I could do a toasted BLT but I’d rather have untoasted bread with bacon - it’s like …imagine having untoasted bread with poached egg! Just no! That’s how much toast is a no with fish fingers!

JustAboutMuddlingThrough · 10/11/2024 12:51

Fish finger sarnies should be made with the stodgiest white bread, which is thickly spread with tons of butter. There should always be more fishfingers to bread ratio so you have a couple spare to eat afterwards and it should be smothered in tomato ketchup. A bacon sarnie should be in a lovely soft white bread Bap also with tons of butter and lashings of tomato ketchup or brown sauce.

BlastedPimples · 10/11/2024 12:48

I've never made either with toast. I'm going to try both.

Ebabllisstggoffor · 10/11/2024 12:47

I’m now cooking bacon.

😱

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

The solution to that is cooking the fingers properly, not toasting the bread.

better still leave the fingers on the 🐟 & 🐷 alone and buy fishless fingers & plant based 'bacon' 💕

Toast has no part in a fish finger sandwich. It has to be buttered white bread. That’s the law, you’re welcome.

Yep agree with this!

CORRECT!

Bonjovispjs · 10/11/2024 12:42

You couldn't be more wrong. Fish finger sandwich with bread, butter and mayonnaise and bacon sandwich with bread, butter and ketchup.

TotHappy · 10/11/2024 12:42

Toast for a bacon sandwich sometimes but not very toasted and not always. My absolute favourite was when my dad used to make me a bacon sandwich for breakfast before school and then I faffed around getting ready for ages so he'd put it in the hot oven to keep warm. The bread would get slightly crisp but not really toasted. It was lush.

I quite like brown or seeded bread with bacon but fish finger sandwiches should always be on white. And with both butter and a lashing of tartare sauce.

BeeCucumber · 10/11/2024 12:40

Bacon sandwich made with thickly sliced white bread and real butter. Fish fingers in a buttered large crusty roll/bap with a generous dollop of mushy peas on top with salt and vinegar. You’re welcome.

I bet you hang the toilet roll with the paper behind too.

I just balance it precariously on top of the holder Grin

No, bread for fish fingers fir sure bacon can be either

Sausagenbacon · 10/11/2024 12:40

YABU for making me crave a bacon sandwich.
The best bacon sandwiches are made by dipping the (white) bread in the bacon fat.

Toast is for club sandwiches only.

This is correct.
Toast is for topping, not containing.

pbdr · 10/11/2024 12:38

I'd be interested to try it with toast, but certainly my default would always be buttered bread for a fish finger sandwich or a bacon sandwich. Maybe you're on to something. I'm going to give it a try.

AutumnLeaves24 · 10/11/2024 12:38

You're a wrong 'un!

both need soft white bread!
