I've always loved crispy fried onions in a sandwich with butter and soft bread and I also love salad cream in a sandwich, usually with cheese.

I wasn't hungry enough for one of each and couldn't decide between the 2 fillings, so I put both the onions and the salad cream in the one sandwich.

Wow!😲

It was amazing.

I'd think you'd need to eat it as soon as it's made so the crispy onions don't go soft, but it's well worth trying 😋

Share your favourite sandwich filling with me to give me some more inspiration.

Any one else got any weird combinations, and how did you stumble upon it?

Are you talking about those crispy onions you buy? Or you make your own. I will admit your first sandwich filling sounds like the work of a genius and I will try it immediately. The second not so much. Child of the 70s?

beebeedandelion · 25/04/2020 04:16

I'll make one later and report back. It sounds great, have you tried a cold new potatoes sandwich ?

cheesemongery · 25/04/2020 04:19

coleslaw and jalepeno peppers (with or without fish fingers)

mathanxiety · 25/04/2020 04:26

Toast, fish fingers, butter, lemon juice.

Knowhowufeel2 · 25/04/2020 04:32

Yes, TKAAHUARTG, the dried ones you can buy in a tub, or from Asian stores in a much larger bag (for a similar price).

YABVVU. Why didn't you make crispy onion, salad cream, AND cheese?

Knowhowufeel2 · 25/04/2020 04:34

Oh, I love fish finger sandwiches, but never thought to try it on toast.
Will have to give it a try, same with the coleslaw. Thanks.

Knowhowufeel2 · 25/04/2020 04:35

I intend to, noodle, but knew I'd be too full up to finish it if I'd had cheese as well now.

The toast has to be made from thick slices of white bread. Don't mess with healthy substitutes.

theThreeofWeevils · 25/04/2020 05:01

YABU to use 'crispy' which is no crisper than 'crisp '. An entirely pointless word, but there's a lot of it about. Like The Virus, which is (probably) not your fault either.
But the best sandwich, and there is a law about this,or at least 'guidelines', is mature cheddar, very ripe, sweet tomatoes, salted and peppered, and just a very little mayonnaise. Or butter. Never both. Usually I go for mayo, but not always.
Second best sandwich - kipper pate.
Third best - cream cheese, peanut butter and celery.

KitKatKit · 25/04/2020 05:03

That sounds weirdly good OP.
In Japan last year I discovered a sandwich in 7/11 stores which was a layer of chicken teriyaki and a layer of egg mayonnaise (so two distinct layers and not mixed together), and it was heaven on earth!

cheesemongery · 25/04/2020 05:16

Salad cream with fish fingers in a sandwich is also a favourite. Not mayo, has to be salad cream... as the poster said above - thick white sliced whether toasted or not Grin

For your weeks worth of carbs, home made potato salad, made with salad cream and spring onions squashed into the thickest white sliced you can find.

Or your classic chip butty, slathered with butter that melts from your greasy hot chips.

I've just gone back to student heaven.

Bog off you seeded batch loaf.

ALittleBitofVitriol · 25/04/2020 05:22

What on earth is salad cream?! (Non UK-er)
I have the fried onions, cheese, bread and butter. Waiting on tenderhooks... Yes, I probably should just Google.

ALittleBitofVitriol · 25/04/2020 05:24

Okay, I'm back from Google. A slightly more tangy version of mayonnaise?

Sparklfairy · 25/04/2020 05:27

Not as weird creative as some of these, but I seem to be living on grilled cheese with bacon and hot sauce sandwiches atm. Overfill the sandwich so that it slops out the sides and looks like something out of Man vs Food.

Simultaneously the most unattractive yet sexiest food ever.

thelocalwoolieshasnotp · 25/04/2020 05:30

@theThreeofWeevils but they are actually called crispy fried onions on the bag?!

Op what on earth is salad cream?

steff13 · 25/04/2020 05:30

My favorite sandwich is turkey breast slices (Boars Head Maple Glazed), butter lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard.

Oh, but in the summer I like some thick slices tomatoes with candy onions and mayonnaise on 12-grain bread.

MarginalGain · 25/04/2020 05:32

Just the idea of 'salad cream' makes me feel queasy.

But cream cheese + fried onions sound excellent. I normally use French's fried onions (American) or Waitrose Essential, are the Asian store ones good? I sprinkle them on any kind of casserole, quite a crowd pleaser.

TheStuffWasBad · 25/04/2020 05:38

YABU to use 'crispy' which is no crisper than 'crisp

Oooh what other product names could this be applied to?

Yabu to call a big mac big, when a mac (coat) is bigger

Yabu to call them garden peas when they were grown in a field.

Strawberrycreamsundae · 25/04/2020 05:45

Cucumber, beetroot and salad cream with black pepper on white bread or sourdough cannot be beaten 😋

TKAAHUARTG · 25/04/2020 05:51

YABU to use 'crispy' which is no crisper than 'crisp '. An entirely pointless word, but there's a lot of it about. the name of the product?? 😂 However I am with you on The Virus someone on my local (US) neighborhood website used "19" so you are very lucky to not have to endure that really.

Pickles89 · 25/04/2020 05:53

@ALittleBitofVitriol

Not at all an answer to your question, but I was reminded of this:

Winterlife · 25/04/2020 06:04

Cottage cheese on multigrain toast. If I’m feeling particularly adventurous, I’ll fry some onion to sprinkle on top.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 25/04/2020 06:06

My best sandwich is roast turkey (home roasted, not deli), with cranberry sauce, brie, black pepper and lettuce on mayo-covered bread (not butter).

It's very nice!

If I don't have roast turkey, I might do brie and cranberry sauce/jam with black pepper on mayo-bread.
I can also do this with crispy bacon - in which case I'll put the lettuce back in as well.
