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?

I don't think crisps should have any involvement with sandwiches, tbh.

Not served alongside. Certainly not in the sandwich. Not as part of lunch, at all.

Crisps are party/snack food only. . Grin

Cheese and onion or roast chicken ate the best, on really fresh white bread. Lovely!

I don't really eat sandwiches, but DP loves a crisp sandwich. Totally normal.

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.

I like a soft white bread roll with lots of margerine and prawn cocktail crisps!

The only way we eat prawn cocktail crisps in put house is in a white roll Grin (except skips which are mine and only mine)

KoalaDownUnder · 23/02/2017 14:35

I carefully make hole and eat the lovely soft middle of a scotch morning roll leaving a perfect pocket and if I stuff then crunch, stuff then crunch I can sometimes fit a whole packet of cheese and onion in there.

This made me really laugh, for some reason Grin

A friend used to eat mashed potato sandwiches, I found that odd.

Very. But DH puts reheated leftover cottage pie into a sandwich and that makes sense too.

originalbiglymavis · 23/02/2017 14:38

Ooh yes. Crisp sandwiches are yum. As are fried egg ones or banana and honey.

wishparry · 23/02/2017 14:39

Mrshathaway- whenever my family have cottage pie,I make us all a bit of bread and butter for a cottage pie sandwich.delicious.

TheDogsMother · 23/02/2017 14:41

Cheap white bread, thick proper butter and cheese and onion walkers is lovely.

BloopBleep is absolutely correct. Haven't had one in years but I just might do now.

Pettywoman · 23/02/2017 14:43

Cheese and crisp sandwich, the best or peanut butter and hula hoops.

Willyoujustbequiet · 23/02/2017 14:43

Absolutely delicious

GoofyIsACow · 23/02/2017 14:44

I blame MN for me being a fatty, i was just tucking into my healthy homemade cauli soup and now i have two slices of white bread with a fuckton little butter, slapped full of bacon crisps...

Applebite · 23/02/2017 14:44

jesus OP, you terrible deviant.

bread is soft. crisps are crunchy. these two things are fundamentally incompatible. otherwise the softness of the bread pollutes the crispiness of the crisps and vice versa.

KoalaDownUnder · 23/02/2017 14:46

So, you butter the bread, or not?

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 23/02/2017 14:47

Love a crisp sandwich

Had one yesterday

Sliced white, butter and ready salted crisps

Enjoy. I can't have that sort of sandwich anymore, I've got to watch my carb intake. The memory of a crisp sandwich with cheese and pickle makes me smile though.

Katedotness1963 · 23/02/2017 14:49

The great feeling of success when I get a whole bag of smokey bacon between two slices of buttered bread! Of course, the first bite scatters crumbs everywhere.

StatisticallyChallenged · 23/02/2017 14:51

Warburton blue bread, very fresh
Butter both slices of bread
McCoy's crisps in the middle

Perfection

The combination of the soft bread with the crunchy crisps is part of the joy!

Jaxhog · 23/02/2017 14:52

This is obviously what my life has been missing so far!

(And my DH thinks Peanut butter and jam is weird)

itwillbegrandsure · 23/02/2017 14:52

Phew! It seems I'm not totally bonkers after all! Yay!

Omg @winniewigs - I had totally forgotten about Skips!! Delish!

@applebite - I do apologise!

@barbaraofseville - Can't say I've heard of a crisp omlette before! Might give it a go though!

I'm so jealous of you right now @GoofyIsACow I'd pop to the shop to get some crisps only I'd be afraid myself and DS would blow away!

eh?
crisps on the side of a sandwich better Grin

MerryMarigold · 23/02/2017 14:53

I LOVE a crisp sandwich, but not only with crisps. The crisps need to be with something. Like a PP, my personal fav would be ham with cheese n onion walkers. However, cheese and ready salted is also nice. Anything with soft bread and crunchy crisps is such a wonderful mix of textures/ flavours. YUUUUUUM

Xenophile · 23/02/2017 14:53

Cheese and Marmite sandwiches, on white bread, with ready salted crisps is the food of the gods.

You have to properly squish it down first, saves on wasting the crisps making crumbs.

Mrspotatohead18 · 23/02/2017 14:54

White buttered bread, slices of nature cheese and smoky bacon crisps!!
