Mine was egg and crab purchased in an Italian bar. Closely followed by prawns in dill mayonnaise that Pret sold years ago.

You?

Oh and where I used to work in Glasgow there was a sandwich shop called Starvin Marvin and their Mexican chicken sandwiches were amazing

Bacon, brie and cranberry on a warm white baguette.

Cheese, red pepper, rocket, chicken with either mayo or pesto!

A one called a French Salad sandwich from a cafe in Newcastle called Mark Tony's. I make a special trip there if ever I'm in Newcastle.

Sausage and caramelized onion baguette.

My mum's tomato sandwiches when I was a child. If only I could time travel.

SO many of these sound lovely. I’m really hungry now!

My go-to comfort sandwich is grated cheese, mixed with mayo, chopped cherry tomatoes and sliced spring onions, seasoned with pepper, on thinly sliced, chia seeded bread from a local bakery

A sandwich shop in Sheffield which is sadly no longer there but they used to do Cajun chicken with lime dressing with lettuce on a soft white roll which was amazing
Also a tuna crunch, tuna mixed with red onion, mayo and peppers on a granary baguette.
And a cheese and homemade coleslaw on crusty white bagette
The most amazing sandwiches and I miss it on a daily basis!

A drunkenly made ready salted crisp sandwich with thick white bread and lashings of butter.

Rig he after throwing up my bottle of rosè

Salt beef bagel with mustard in Brick Lane. Eat half of the meat though and save the rest for a fresh bagel with a runny fried egg and salt beef sandwich for breakfast. YUM

I had a toasted sourdough sandwich with emmental, blue cheese and cheddar, mushrooms, red onion and garlic and it was awesome. I have tried to recreate many times but with limited success.
Used to love a tuna mayo and Branston pickle toastie back in the day. Don’t knock it til you try it

Roussette · 08/10/2019 21:24

A bakery that is sadly no longer open

They did a sandwich called 'Wise Bird'. Always made fresh while you wait.

Thick wholemeal bread cut off a loaf. Mayo, chicken they carved off a cooked chicken in front of you, and big slices of stuffing. That's it. Divine.

AdaColeman · 08/10/2019 21:32

isayhitocats Is that in Grainger Street? I used to go there when I was a girl, for coffee & cake!

Whuut · 08/10/2019 21:38

Thick slices of goats cheese, roasted red peppers, pesto mayo, chilli jam and rocket on a seeded baguette. Its insane. Only one place does it and whenever I go near I have to get one.

When I was pregnant, not much came close to marmite, cheese and lettuce on granary tho.

soggypizza · 08/10/2019 21:53

Dh always spoke very fondly of the best ever cheese and tomato sandwich I use to make him - when we popped home from work for a quickie at lunch time...he hated sandwiches but that one was apparently amazing! 😂 😉

Lou0390 · 08/10/2019 21:54

It was a falafel sandwich at Glastonbury festival in The Greenfields bit.
Fresh pita, juicy olives, yogurt sauces, salsa and the best falafel I have ever tasted. It was teaming down with rain, I hadn't slept in days and I was so greatful to be in the dry eating this wonderful food. Happy days Smile

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 08/10/2019 22:18

I used to love a veggie chicken tikka they did at Asda of all places. Their sandwiches are all now rubbish - not had a decent one in ages
Really want a sandwich now though

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 08/10/2019 22:24

A crab sandwich on wholemeal bread from a pub on the quayside in St. Ives, Cornwall. It was a good 20years ago but I still think about it sometimes.

Courtney555 · 08/10/2019 22:25

There was a little butchers that did carvery rolls when I was pregnant with DS.

1/3 soft french stick. Hog roast style pork. Stuffing. Splash of gravy. Apple sauce. (Added fried onions and mayo because of weird cravings).

Heaven.

Bloodybridget · 08/10/2019 22:26

Oh falafel in pita in Israel, that was always delicious. Better than I've ever had here.

jelly79 · 08/10/2019 22:33

I left a festival in Serbia for a 9 hour coach journey. I was so done in and starving and very fragile. A friend passed me half a deli sandwich. Pastrami, mustard, cheese and pickles

Will always remember that tiny sandwich

Grafittiqueen · 08/10/2019 22:48

I really miss the old greggs chargrilled chicken oval bite. They totally wrecked it.

Moremoneyplease · 08/10/2019 23:20

@Talcott2007 I used to live in Rome and still pop back regularly. Can you remember where the sandwich bar was so I can try it next time I'm there?? Sounds delicious!

newmummalion · 08/10/2019 23:26

New York Deli from Philpots sandwich shop in Birmingham

AudTheDeepMinded · 08/10/2019 23:42

MrsGrindah why? (nosy). Not visiting the Archaeology Dept are you? Wonder if the sandwich shop is still there?
