To say I should have made the crisp butty

24 replies

Lidlpopdrinker · 21/05/2023 22:35

I was hungry at 9:30 and thought, shal I make myself a crisp butty?

Stupid sensible hypocritical me thought no, it’s too late, all those calories late at night isn’t a good idea, although I don’t give a second thought to stuffing crap in my gob at any other time of day.

so I came up and had a shower, and now I’m starving, and now I really feel it is too late.

IWBVVU for not having that sodding crisp butty wasn’t I? And now it’s too late.

Why is it too late? It’s 10.30pm and you are a grown up, go make the sandwich.

Ponoka7 · 21/05/2023 22:37

If I eat late, I then don't eat breakfast, so it evens out. Personally, I'd eat and sleep better.

Two add, I had my tea about 530, and I’ve walked about 6 miles since then and not had anything to eat.

It's never too late. Eat the butty!

Do you get heartburn? If yes, then I would rather go hungry and promise myself a proper bacon sandwich in the morning.

If no, absolutely have it if you still want one.

Life, and crisp butties, are fleeting things.

TAmum3 · 21/05/2023 22:40

Mmm I love a crisp butty! Go make one, you will not regret it 😋

TyneTeas · 21/05/2023 22:40

Sandwich! Sandwich!

Notimeforaname · 21/05/2023 22:42

Eat if you are hungry. Doesn't matter the time.

CurlewKate · 21/05/2023 22:42

I posted about my orange, pear and tea snack late last night- much later than this! Go for the crisp butty!!

whispers- what is a crisp butty?

LookItsMeAgain · 21/05/2023 22:43

I thought it was chip butty and crisp sandwich. Did I get it mixed up? Can you have a crisp butty and if you can, can you also have a chip sandwich?

Notimeforaname · 21/05/2023 22:43

In fact I'll join you. I was just going to make my last cup of tea but now I want a cheese and tomato sandwich too!

Isittimeformynapyet · 21/05/2023 22:45

This kind of dilemma keeps me awake, so you probably must have the sandwich. Don't prevaricate, or it really will be too late.

You dirty bird...

Mabelface · 21/05/2023 22:45

Crisp butties are food of the gods. Eat it! Best made with Warburton's thick toastie and task butter, walker's cheese and onion.

Ineedwinenow · 21/05/2023 22:48

I’ve just done cheese on toast so crack on with your crisp sarnie! As pp said, crisp sandwiches are food of the gods so go and make yourself happy and have the sandwich 🤩

Lidlpopdrinker · 21/05/2023 23:08

Well, I’d love to be one of these OPs who plays with you a bit, makes a few excuses as to why I couldn’t possibly eat so late, then leaves you all hanging, but I was hungry, and MN gave me the permission I needed.

yes, I did have thick toastie white bread, and yes, I did have cheese and onion, although they were Lidl own brand not Walkers. My favourite crisp sarnie flavour however is roast chicken, but I couldn’t be bothered to stick my hand that far down the bag.

controversial opinion, prawn cocktail are only acceptable in a sandwich, otherwise they are gross and should be banished from this earth.

Davros · 21/05/2023 23:30

I agree with everything you say about crisps. Roast chicken are my favourite and I would only consider prawn cocktail if I was desperate or just as seasoning

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 21/05/2023 23:40

Best is definitely white bread, S&V crisps and a creamy white cheddar.

But I'm also partial to Wotsits in a sandwich.

Both need real butter.

EscapeRoomToTheSun · 22/05/2023 00:11

Most satisfying thread conclusion ever. 10/10

RunningUpThatMill · 22/05/2023 00:22

Beefy Seabrook and 2 slices of white bread with Vitalite - heaven.

Controversial opinion but roast chicken crisps are vile.

echt · 22/05/2023 00:31

YABU for raising the vision of crisp butties in my mind when I don't have the proper bread for this ( just worthy sourdough artisanal shite). Or crisps. Double unreasonableness for mentioning prawn cocktail crisps which, unfathomably, are not on general sale in Australia.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 22/05/2023 00:36

Pickled onion monster munch on cheap white bread with real butter. I have digestive issues, but sometimes it is just worth the heartburn.

Katieg27 · 22/05/2023 00:43

Have you tried a sandwich with ham and chicken crisps? The sensations ones are amazing with ham! Mmm now I want a sandwich!

LadyRos · 22/05/2023 01:38

If you put salad leaf in it, it would be okay 👍
