Crisp sandwich - normal, right?

[itwillbegrandsure]

I LOVE a crisp sandwich. Especially with salt n vinegar crisps. Was thinking I'd love one earlier (but no crisps in the house) and then remembered a friend thinking I was totally bonkers for having crisps in a sandwich.

Anyone else? Or is my friend right and I'm totally bonkers...?!

On that note, any other 'out of the norm' sandwich fillings you all in enjoy?

I love cheese and peanut butter sandwiches or marmite and cucumber but you cannot beat a crisp sandwich in cheap white, well buttered bread. Don't care what type or flavour of crisps

I was known to go to school with Mars Bar sandwiches , thinly sliced across, from the fridge, on white sliced, with butter! Beats Nutella. Also sugar sandwiches...again on buttered white. I do still have my own teeth surprisingly

All butties need crisps. True fact.

Ok top sandwiches for me:

1. Fish finger buttie with lashings of ketchup (choice of students)
2. Chip buttie again lashings of ketchup
3. Pickled onion sandwich, thickly buttered white bread, homemade pickles and if I'm pushing the boat out salad cream and ready salted crisps. Must cut onions in half otherwise they run for it.
4. Piccalilli sandwich.

For me the ultimate crisp sandwich is brown bread (coz something has to be remotely healthy here? lol. With goats butter (best butter in the world), full fat cream cheese (normally meant for my small children, but too yummy), then a layer of frazzles bacon crisps. Truly this is the king of crisp sandwiches :D

Where I come from a crisp sandwich is a perfectly acceptable meal.
When I lived in London, folk thought I was crazy having one...

SugarLoveHeart I know what that's like, I'm the person at seminars or meetings that shoves crisps into the nice triangle sandwiches and crunches away. Also once looked up and found the person next to me open mouthed watching me dunk the complimentary biscuits into my tea. Sorry don't have a filter just automatic reaction.

Oh my what's the world coming too if you can't dunk a biscuit!

Cheese and onion crisps between 2 slices of buttered bread for me. Heaven. No need for other fillings such as cheese.
Though it has to be said, most sandwiches are enhanced by a thin layer of crisps, though strictly speaking that isn't a crispy sandwich.

Nerdy frazzles and cream cheese, sounds like an amazing combo!! I am now quite determined to make that today

It's only normal if you have it with Philadelphia cream cheese or Dairylea triangle! Wotsits or Quavers with it are a particular favourite although I am also partial to ready salted or salt n vinegar!

I love a crisp sandwich, but it has to be ready salted crisps. French Fries make a nice crisp sandwich, its even nicer if you have Philadelphia on too.

I can have any flavour crisps with bread and butter, but it has to be ready salted, salt and vinegar or salt and pepper when there are other flavourings in the sandwich.

I want one

Love it. Any crisps, whatever's in the cupboard including hula hoops, with cheese, ham, whatever filling I'm having bar tuna!

My aunt also introduced me to marmite and dairylea sandwiches.

Nursery like to dish up humous sandwiches. I struggle to get my head round that one....

Skips are nice on a cheese, mayo & cucumber butty.

Yes definitely normal.

Two slices of thick white bread, salt and vinegars and a dollop of salad cream

On the back of this thread I went to make myself a white bread and s&v sarnie last night.

There was no bread, I cried a bit.

(In my defence I'm PG and I've not fancied or kept anything down since Sunday, I don't cry over bread normally)

White bread, salt & vinegar crisps, slice of Gouda & salad cream

I can confirm that the addition of salt and vinegar chips to a honey sandwich does NOT improve it. At all. Especially if you hadn't identified the honey, but instead assumed it was just bread and butter.

That was a very disappointing school lunch.

Slightly OT, but indulge me

My mum would always get me to order her a McDonalds plain hamburger - that's the smallest thing with nothing but the meat and the bun, and has to be cooked to order - plus small fries and a tea with two cartons of milk.

She would then carefully arrange all the chips in the burger and eat it very slowly, holding it like a hamster with both paws, while putting it down between bites and taking long pauses to tell me random things. When she'd finished, the tea would be at the right temperature to add the milk and drink.

She was never out of a McDonald's in under 30 minutes. I think her personal best was nearly an hour.

We'd often go to McDonalds after a mooch round the shops on Saturdays. She'd always pay. It's Saturday afternoon and I miss her but the memory of this has made me smile too. OP.

She liked ready salted or cheese and onion crisp sandwiches as well, btw .

Is it a Northern thing? Salt and vinegar crisp sandwiches or with cheese is the best! I'm from up North - husband is a Southerner who thinks it's weird!

Not a Northern thing. I'm from the East but live in the South - pretty much every Southerner I know loves a crisp sandwich as much as I do!

@limitedperiodonly That's so lovely. What a great memory! Thanks so much for sharing.

Sorry gormless but that made me chuckle
