To think fish finger sandwiches should be made with toast and Bacon Sandwiches with bread?

Just idly pondering this as I make bacon sandwiches for lunch for everyone.

DH made me a fish finger sandwich the other day but with bread and it just felt wrong for some reason

Neither should be made with toast!

This.

JohnTheRevelator · 21/04/2025 16:49

No,the other way round. Bacon sandwiches are definitely improved by toasting the bread.

Lovelysummerdays · 21/04/2025 16:49

Buttered bread for both.

AcquadiP · 21/04/2025 16:52

Not for me, both served in rolls, but no butter on the bacon roll.

RosesAndHellebores · 21/04/2025 16:53

Fish finger sandwiches must be made with buttered white sliced, a squeeze of ketchup,topped with salt and vinegar crisps. It is written in law.

Dery · 21/04/2025 16:54

I would make both with buttered bread!

WickWood · 21/04/2025 16:54

Nooo! Bacon with toast (or on a barm) fried til dead, dead crispy with loads of brown sauce and fishfingers on thick bread with butter, salt, pepper, vinegar and brown sauce. Yum!!

Bacon sandwich should be made with soft white floury bap.

Growlybear83 · 21/04/2025 17:05

I think fish fingers should be in white untoasted bread with lots of tomato ketchup. Bacon sandwiches should also be in untoasted white bread, but I only ever use unsmoked grilled bacon and never ever fry it.

Zanatdy · 21/04/2025 17:06

Bacon is ok made with toast, but prefer white bread, and fishfingers is always bread, never toast

HarryVanderspeigle · 21/04/2025 17:08

I would go with bread for both if making for myself. But being cooked for, I wouldn't care. M&S do a good fish finger sarnie and it is toasted.

StMarie4me · 21/04/2025 17:09

Oh no! The hot fish finger melting the butter in the soft white bread… fabulous!
Only a memory for me as I eat low carb for health 😊

muddyford · 21/04/2025 17:14

Fish fingers are best in a crusty baguette!

mathanxiety · 21/04/2025 18:11

Both should be made with toast.

BLTs should also be made with toast, and so should tuna salad amd egg salad sandwiches.

Pulled pork sandwiches otoh should be made with thick cut white bread.

PeloMom · 21/04/2025 18:13

I was today years old when I realized bread and toast are 2 different things 🫣

NeedthatFridayfeeling · 21/04/2025 18:14

Nope, both sandwichs should be soft white buttered bread 😄

chattyness · 21/04/2025 18:20

Bacon butty - bread and butter or toast
Fish finger butty - bread & butter
Fish fingers and bacon make the best butty combo, no sauce or salad required

Bacon sarnies/rolls yummy with white bread, no butter or spread. Sausage sarnies great with any bread including that made in my breadmaker. I’ve never had fish finger sandwiches.

Toast is just something I have with marmite, note not the other way round. 😆

Missey85 · 21/04/2025 18:45

I don't use toast for either 🤷 better with white bread and lots of butter 😊

HurdyGurdy19 · 21/04/2025 18:56

Well!!

I can't eat bacon sandwiches at all. They just feel completely wrong. Mine have to be VERY crispy streaky bacon, cooked almost to the point of extinction, and served in a soft white roll. I love the contrast of the very crunchy bacon against the softness of the bread.

However, if I was looking down the barrel of a gun, and HAD to have a sandwich, I'd have bread toasted on one side only, and then it would be back bacon.

Fish finger sandwiches, sorry - they have to be white bread. Nothing else works.

QueefQueen80s · 21/04/2025 19:17

Both with white bread and lots of butter!

🧐 tell us more about this please? Have you been using bread and toast interchangeably? How???

FunMustard · 26/04/2025 00:08

Quite frankly I'm DISCUSTED OP.

The only sandwich made with toast should be toast, ketchup and grated cheddar. I don't know why, my grandad used to make them.

Anything else - bread. I will not be taking questions at this time.

😱

I think it's a texture thing for me. Fish finger sandwiches with bread feel too soggy.

I guess I will have to cancel the divorce papersGrin

Edited

In fairness I think DH has grounds for the divorce to proceed 😮😮
