to think that a ham AND cheese sandwich is a teeny bit extravagant?

I know, I know!

We had friends round for the day this weekend and lunch was a "make your own sandwich" type affair, all bits out, put what you want in it. There was cheese, ham, tuna, salady bits, pickles and sauces etc.

Now my friend Bob* had ham AND cheese in his sandwich Shock To me, that seemed like he was having two fillings in one sandwich - terribly indulgent Grin

OP, obviously cheese and ham go well together! You must know this 😉 I on the other hand am intrigued by your username. I'm thinking Futurama! 😂

Hahaha! When I'm feeling greedy, I use ham, cheese, turkey, salad and homous on mine 😂😂😂😂

How do cheeseburgers fit in?

Putting a cheeseburger INSIDE a sandwich is definitely OTT.

Ham and cheese with a dollop of ketchup is the way forward

tilliebob · 02/02/2016 20:07

My DS2 would only eat ham and cheese. In fact we all eat ham and cheese toasties, sandwiches, and even baked potatoes. I can't think of anything more bland than a cheese only sandwich Shock

Yanbu.... It's abusive, period. What kind of bully steals food like that from right under your nose... He probably gets sick kicks from knowing he's cramming all that protein you worked so hard for into his fat belly.

Did you call the police? They like to note this kind of thing for their records... Does he have kids? If so, I hope you called them so they can start proceedings!

Flashbangandgone · 02/02/2016 20:24

Call the social workers I meant to say

Sorry, but there's only one proper thing to do with a ham and cheese toasted sandwich: push it together firmly, dip the whole thing in beaten egg and fry it until golden

Trust me on this ... Grin

Mrsleighdelamare · 02/02/2016 20:43

Puzzled that sounds amazing. I was going to make Nigella's mozzarella in carrozza (sp?) but I couldn't be bothered. I clearly should make the effort.

There is no single sandwich filling that isn't improved by the addition of another.

This post made me laugh. 2 sandwich fillings are our benchmark for how well we're doing financially. We got quite excited last year when we could finally have Ham And cheese! Totally understand op Grin

I can't believe it! Really there are people out there that care so much about what another put in his sandwich? I'm italian and I would be only happy to see people enjoying their food! We have amazing panini......so ooooooh indulgent :)

Skyfeather · 04/02/2016 10:57

The only thing I find a bit personally yaki is when sandwiches are filled with more than a type of meet....subway has a sandwich like that ....called italian smtg....It actually annoys me because no one I know would eat...to me it looks very American

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 04/02/2016 11:03

that's nothing I overheard an order just the other day for for a toasted cheese, ham, onion and tomato sandwich Shock

sandwiches with two different meats is wrong and so is mayo on anything

BrieAndChilli · 04/02/2016 16:24

Puzzledandpissedoff · 04/02/2016 16:26
