Serving crisps with sandwiches? Do you?

[JDM625]

I moved to the UK 20yrs ago. PIL always put crisps on the side of the plate if having a sandwich there. I assumed it was just a thing they did. In a cafe recently, they did the same.

Not a packet of crisps such as in a meal deal, but just loose on the side of the plate. We are in the SE. Is this commonly done in the UK?

We had a bbq at the weekend. Bread buns, potato salad and couscous @eqpi4t2hbsnktd
Triple carbs 👊

I have always lived in England and crisis on a sandwich plate is not a familiar thing for me.

A pub might, but at home?

Do you have the whole packet? In which case why empty it out?

Crisis on a sandwich plate sounds like the most British thing ever. 😆

I'm hankering for a ham or beef sandwich with crisps now.
Obviously with enough mustard or horseradish to make me sneeze.

It's the law over here, OP.

The mac and cheese what now???? 😳

Could be the title of a Pam Ayres poem

It so could! Heh.

Mac and cheese sandwich - ideally served toasted - tastes incredible!

I would say it's common but not something I usually do on health grounds.

It’s just wrong to me if I have a sandwich or toastie in a cafe and they don’t serve crisps with it! (I also want a nicely dressed side salad and some creamy coleslaw to boot 😂).
A cafe where I used to live served delicious burgers…with a side of crisps 🤣 (they didn’t do chips). Now that I drew the line at!

I can see chips and burger but lasagne and potato?

I’ve seen it served with chips and garlic bread … triple carbing!

Yes. It's the contrast in texture. I don't do it at home but I like it when I'm out.

Ooh, lasagne and chips is an elite combo!

You mean like a hamburger and fries? 🤣

I once had Mac and cheese pizza in America!

IN sandwiches is better 😬

Never in any private home I've been to, but usually in pubs etc.

I rarely eat crisps, I don't really enjoy them. However, ready salted crisps are vital with a cheese sandwich. Doritos with Camembert are nice too.

omg yes!

In cafes yes always
