There is no better sandwich than a BLT - change my mind

Proper smoky bacon fried in the cut off rind

Crispy lettuce (not iceburg)

Ripe tomato (beef at this time of the year)

Sourdough lightly toasted, one side spread with mayo the other with salty butter.

I can't think of another sandwich which even comes close

The best sandwich I can’t get anymore is the Schwartz’s medium sandwich. See picture - you have to have it if you ever go to Montreal, with chips, pickle on the side, and a cherry coke is the classic combo!

I love most sandwiches though to be fair.

Club sandwich for me , I'm going to have to make myself one today now as my mouth is watering thinking about it.

I had almost exactly what you're describing for lunch, but with avocado instead of lettuce. It was amazing.

Cold sliced hardboiled egg with lots of salt on buttered soft white bread

Sausage butty with brown sauce. Preferably made by someone else, for breakfast, when you were assuming it was just going to be regular old toast.

And at lunchtime - homemade egg mayo (with mustard in) on sourdough toast, with cucumber

DH's favourite is sliced white, a little butter, banana and Branston pickle 🤮

Northernmum100 · 22/02/2021 23:05

Sourdough, crispy bacon, Brie and Cranberry for me please. Mug of tea on the side makes lunch perfection

I can see this is a thread for those with discerning tastes. I’ll add anyway:

crisp sandwich

Now given it’s a bit flat, lacking any protein, devoid of any colour, poor nutritional content and bad receptacle for a nice sauce - but don’t let that put you off. What it lacks in, well most things, it makes up for in delicious crunchiness. You want nice white bread, butter and salt & vinegar. This is a “I really can’t be arsed day” recipe.

O. M. G. I want a sandwich now and I've just got into bed.

BLT needs chicken and cheese, then it becomes legendary.

I would also argue that a tiger baguette heavily buttered with Parma ham, Spanish salami and garlic and herb Boursin is superior. Heart attack inducing but delicious!

MaudTheInvincible · 23/02/2021 00:06

White bloomer, salted butter, hot roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce, English mustard, crackling.

Blueberrycreampie · 23/02/2021 00:28

A small baguette so small small bag if you will 😂. Spread it with Philly and then scrunch up Smoky Bacon crisps on top of the Philly. Scrumptious!

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 23/02/2021 00:33

Don't be insane - bacon should not be sullied with fresh tomato gubbins! It should be served crispy on white bread (or any other carrier or eaten straight from the pan if necessary 😃) and complemented with ketchup.

If there is no bacon in your fridge/freezer/neighbours house/snowstorm/meteor attack then a close 2nd would be

White farmhouse bread
Fish fingers (crispy)
Mushy peas
Ketchup

Sounds yummy, I like a wholemeal bread with it though.

I like a cheese and pickle sarnie or a cheese and ham baguette. Or a tuna, sweetcorn and Mayo.

@Dugee

I lived abroad and I really missed M&S prawn Mayo sandwich. So that gets my vote.
Mmm
RedcurrantPuff · 23/02/2021 00:41

Ooh smoked salmon and cream cheese!

I am drooling reading all these!

MaudTheInvincible · 23/02/2021 00:58

A million years ago, a sandwich shop near where I worked did a mix of turkey, crispy crumbled up bacon and Swiss cheese in mayonnaise. It was lovely. I used to have it on granary bread with black pepper.

QueenPaw · 23/02/2021 01:07

Bagel (toasted)
Pastrami
Gherkins
Swiss cheese
Coney Island mustard

White buttered bread
Grated cheese
Onion
Mayo
Ready salted crisps

LunaHeather · 23/02/2021 01:12

Has anyone said bacon, halloumi and tomato? Honestly, it's fab.

Whaa · 23/02/2021 01:21

Inspiration! Yum

StarlightandSunlight · 23/02/2021 01:23

Sandwiches are so underrated. I love a good sandwich

Totally. I always have a sarnie at lunch. I know people who think it's dull but ooh...lovely bread...lovely fillings.
BerniesMittens · 23/02/2021 03:58

Bacon, avocado and Philadelphia soft cheese. Heaven in a sandwich.

GreenSlide · 23/02/2021 04:06

Christmas sandwiches are the best. Turkey, stuffing, butter and cranberry sauce on granary bread.

Or just a Christmas night plain turkey with a bit of salt, or ham on thickly buttered white bread with a cup of tea Smile
