Stilton, pear & rocket. Just had for my lunch. Yum.

Other ‘gourmet’ cheese sarnies…..

Wensleydale, carrot and apple

Brie and grape

Red Leicester grated and mixed with mayo and purple spring onions

If it really must be cheddar, then it has to be strong vintage stuff, with a fancy tomato or plum relish

Any other cheese snobs?

Pumpernickel bread, unsalted butter and strong cheddar. Nothing more needed.

WillaWeatherspoon · 04/09/2021 13:12

Brie, bacon and cranberry. Delicious.

@dreamingbohemian Cheese savoury is grated cheese (usually two like cheddar and Red Leicester), Mayo/salad cream, spring onion/onion and sometimes other bits like grated carrot all mixed together.

Crusty bread, a lovely cheddar, real butter and a tangy chutney. Food of the Gods.

@dreamingbohemian

What is cheese savoury? (sorry non-Brit here!)
Brit here and I don't know either!!
TheRabbitStoleMyHat · 04/09/2021 13:20

There’s something great about a cheese and crisp sandwich on cheap white bread.

Mydogisagentleman · 04/09/2021 13:20

Any cheese, any bread except goats or sheep and no no no rocket

Hellocatshome · 04/09/2021 13:21

@MeredithGreyishblue I'm a brit and never heard of them until I moved to the North East and I can confirm they are amazing.

Thesearmsofmine · 04/09/2021 13:22

Strong cheddar and red onion on soft white bread.

midsomermurderess · 04/09/2021 13:22

Proper baguette, good, cold butter, mature cheddar, good, tasty tomatoes. Maybe a smear of Mayo.

girlmom21 · 04/09/2021 13:33

It's all a bit posh in this thread.

Grated cheddar and onion on white bread with a pack of salt and vinegar crisps and a can of Dr Pepper, please and thank you!

MeredithGreyishblue · 04/09/2021 13:36

Hmmm...
Warburtons toastie loaf, medium cheddar, lurpak, Branston and a smear of mayo or
Granary, brie, bacon & avocado or
I had a cream cheese, bacon & coleslaw sandwich in 1997 at a sandwich shop in Broomhill in Sheffield and I've never been able to recreate it quite the same since!!

Interesting, thank you : )

Cheese slices on smart price white bread, ummmmmm

dworky · 04/09/2021 13:45

Nah, best cheese sandwiches are toasted.

Sorry, but that is not actual food. Plastic cheese has it’s place, but it is not amongst fancy pants posho cheese snobbery.

(Last week FIL bought “cheesy food slices” for the nephews for the bbq…. even the packet didn’t claim it was cheese!)

Vintage cheddar, thyme & chilli jam on sourdough or rough seeded bread and then toasted. It’s a Lucy Lord “recipe” and it might be in her book Food for the Soul. It really does pimp up a toasted cheese sandwich!

Ratonastick · 04/09/2021 14:04

Vintage cheddar (sharp enough to make your teeth jackknife) and homemade coleslaw (ie with a bit of mustard in the Mayo and slightly too much onion) in white pitta bread.

This is the answer and I will not be taking questions,

Lunificent · 04/09/2021 14:13

This one that I had in Sicily.

Dh makes cheese so he's constantly offended that my favourite cheese sandwich is the cheap cheese spread and salt and vinegar crisps.

Aside from the pure joy of the above!
I enjoy mozerella slices with rocket, roasted peppers and tomatoes.

Lunificent · 04/09/2021 14:22

@NofuPancake - is your DH Martin Platt or the one from Blur?

ShaunaTheSheep · 04/09/2021 14:26

Strong cheddar and piccalilli on granary bread.

StormOfSekhmet · 04/09/2021 14:27

Goats cheese and red onion chutney, or davidstow cheddar with branston

liveforsummer · 04/09/2021 14:29

On soft white bread, nice mature but creamy cheddar with walkers cheese and onion crisps 😋

LemonViolet · 04/09/2021 14:30

He makes cheese? For a living, or just as a hobby?

I now have Life of Brian “blessed are the cheesemakers” in my head btw. (Of course, that was meant to be taken literally, and refers to any manufacturers of dairy products).

Love that you took a photo of a sandwich, @Lunificent, that’s dedication.
