Crisp sandwich - normal, right?

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?

Crisp sandwich ... amazing and completely normal!
According to DH my favourite sandwich if cold (cooked) sausages and coleslaw is just weird?x

NRTT.

Shit white bread. Margarine. Walkers Cheese and Onion.

Sitting on the kitchen counter, drunk.

Perfect.

Love them, your friend has been deprived

cathyclown · 08/12/2017 22:31

I haven't RTFT

But to me, cheese n onion crisps (must be crushed down though) plus a slice of extra mature cheddar is really the food of the gods. And REAL butter too. Soft doughy bread is a must too.

I am raging that I don't have either cheese n onion crisps or soft bread here.

What will I do? I am drooling now.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 08/12/2017 22:49

White bread butter and golden wonder cheese and onion (they are in the correct colour bag green!)

Walkers will do and Aldi’s Cheese and Onion are very nice

Frazzles are also nice in a sandwich

I prefer to put crisps in an omelette. Your friend probably would find that weird but I got the idea when reading about a Spanish chef who ran what was considered to be the best restaurant in the world. It was the favourite lunch that his chefs liked to make themselves before work and works best with thick cut salted crisps.

This... is genius.

Ereshkigal · 08/12/2017 23:04

I keep meaning to make the crisp omelette too.

ProseccoPoppy · 08/12/2017 23:12

Gruyere with honey and black pepper sounds absolutely vile yank. But then I think gruyere in any form is sweaty and disgusting. I haven’t had a crisp sandwich but DH loves them very very much. One of the nicest weird sandwiches I’ve Had was in Spain - white bread with a big chunk of tortilla, garlic mayo and a token piece of lettuce. I was veggie at the time and that was the only veggie option in the shop. It was absolutely gorgeous (but also quite wrong),

sweetsomethings · 08/12/2017 23:23

Yes it's the way sandwiches are meant to eaten yummy

Thegiantofillinois · 08/12/2017 23:28

Anything goes in a sandwich.

That should be a song.

YolandiFuckinVisser · 08/12/2017 23:33

Crappy white sliced bread (my favourite is warburtons thick sliced toastie but only if extra fresh and rubbery), a dairylea triangle spread on each slice, walkers or seabrook ready salted placed between.

AnathemaPulsifer · 08/12/2017 23:40

Sliced white bread, buttered; strong cheddar; salt & vinegar crisps. FOOD OF THE GODS.

Praise be.

zukiecat · 09/12/2017 18:41

Crisp sandwiches are awful

Crisps have no place in a sandwich, I don't like dairy either so butter has no place anywhere!

I'm Scottish and had never heard of crisp sandwiches until I met English XH

We both thought the other was very weird Grin

mirime · 09/12/2017 18:48

Beetroot, cheese, mayonnaise and ready salted crisps.

Or grated carrot, cheese, mayonnaise and crisps.

We just ordered an Indian but now I'm thinking longingly of crisp sandwiches Angry

BrizzleDrizzle · 09/12/2017 18:56

Cold potatoes, salad cream and salt and vinegar crisps in white bread sandwiches.

Troubleinstore · 09/12/2017 19:02

Get one of these. Where the soft bit is where it joins onto the next one...poke your finger in snd gouge out the middle of the bread. Then get a bag of crisps snd crunch them up and pour into the hole in the bread. Enjoy x
Food of the gods!

Troubleinstore · 09/12/2017 19:03

Forgot the pic ...doh!

Crisp sandwich - normal, right?
MotorwayMingebag · 09/12/2017 19:07

A crisp sandwich is divine. For me it has to be:

Salt & Vinegar crisps
White Bread
Unsalted Butter

Heaven.

JediStoleMyBike · 09/12/2017 19:12

I've never had a crisp sandwich! Shock

EggysMom · 09/12/2017 19:16

Just read through the thread ....

YES to crisp sandwiches, don't mind what flavour, has to be white bread with butter

YES to baked beans in a toastie

NO to fish-finger sandwiches. I know people rave about them, I've tried two over the last year - one with salad cream, one with ketchup. Didn't like either of them. Both times white bread with butter. Am I missing a secret ingredient?

NOT YET MENTIONED during the festive season, I like a pickled red cabbage sandwich. The trick is to spread enough butter to delay the soak of the purple vinegar but not stop it completely, so that the last mouthful is almost disintegrating as you eat it.

AfunaMbatata · 09/12/2017 19:20

Crisp sandwiches are good but a macaroni pie sandwich is where it’s at.

I am happy to say that I have done my bit educating the Europeans, who, when they come over to our work HQ, now understand the process and happily participate.
Step 1: Choose sandwhich
Step 2: Choose crips
Step 3: pay (this is important)
Step 4: Put crisps into sandwich.

It's taken them a while to grasp the concept, especially the Swedes and the Danes, but now, thankfully, they understand.

notangelinajolie · 09/12/2017 19:23

Crisp butties with Dairylea is the food of the Gods. Salt and vinegar crisps on a bap was my school lunch every day when I was about 12 or 13. Bought from the corner shop near school. Sadly it was only for 2 years because we moved house and I had to go to a different school that didn't let us out at dinner time.

BarbaraofSevillle · 09/12/2017 19:24

Eggys I do a sort of home made version of the McDonald's fish filet.

White bread, mayonnaise, fish fingers, sliced gherkins and some cheese or dairylea.
