Best vegetarian sandwiches...

[NotMyPenguin]

Just read the 'greatest sandwich in the world' thread, and am now craving a vegetarian equivalent. I have a few strong contenders, which I'll put in the comments.

Hit me up with your 'world's greatest vegetarian sandwiches', Mumsnet!

peanut butter and banana (or any of the other nut butters you can get)

Egg mayo with tomato

A friend recently made me a cheese and sandwich spread sandwich - it was amazing !(for anyone not familiar with sandwich spread it is kind of mayo with chopped up relish type bits in it.)

If I make something like a nut/chestnut/lentil roast. A thin slice of it the next day in nice seedy bread with mayo or cranberry sauce or some chutney is the best ever.

Smoked cheese, ripe tomato and sliced avocado on crusty bread - yum!

Or if it were ever to return, the original M&S cheese and celery sandwich.

I'm not a big fan of sandwiches but I once had a sublime onion bhaji, mango chutney and salad one, on seedy brown bread.

At home I tend to go for either egg and watercress (salad cream or natural yoghurt, not mayo) or a good old cheese salad one (no tomatoes because tomatoes have no place in sandwiches, but some beetroot always a good idea).

Snazzy fillings like hoummus, feta etc need pitta bread or flat bread, rather than sliced bread.

Brie and rocket wonderful too, but only in crusty baguette - never in soft bread.

Egg, tomato and salad cream
Goats cheese and a chutney,
Halloumi and roasted vegetables

Or if you want to go less posh, lightly toasted white sliced bread, buttered, topped with dairylea slices and thinly sliced spring onion

Mozzarella, tomato and pesto.

brie and cranberry

Halloumi, rocket (or mixed salad), tomato and sweet chilli sauce in a wrap.

Houmous, grated carrot and homemade red onion marmalade
Cucumber and marmite
Chips and ketchup

Mashed avocado & chickpeas with pesto

Nice bread, real butter with sea salt crystals and cheddar. If feeling rakish add pickle.

Avocado, sweet chilli sauce and rocket

Baguette, proper salted butter, slices of perfectly ripe Brie, rocket and my homemade blackberry jelly. Just enough filling so it drips down your chin, and stains your fingers purple...

Or a hot chips and grated cheese and mayo for a dirty pleasure one

lettuce and marmite on wholemeal

Toasted flat bread with smashed avocado, a little black pepper and halloumi. DD's favourite lunch.

Ooh I'd actually forgotten about lettuce and Marmite - used to love them!

Some of these sound amazing!

Speaking of Marmite, my mum does a weird one that she loves -- Marmite with either tahini or peanut butter!

I had the world's most amazing vegetarian sandwich at a restaurant called The Foundation in Vancouver, Canada. Sadly it's now closed. The sandwich was called the 'Nooch Wich'. From memory, it was really good sourdough bread spread with something spicy and tangy, sweet corn, black beans, melted sheep's cheese -- and baked/fried with slices of tomato.

Oh my god it was good. Nearly cried when I was told the Foundation had closed!

I've just asked the mods if they could possibly move this to the Food/Recipe section so it won't disappear after 90 days! Sorry, obviously I started this in the wrong place...

We're just sending this delicious looking thread over to our food topic so that it can be kept for all eternity!

Thanks, MN HQ!

And another good memory from the now-closed Foundation restaurant: the ‘Hombre’.

Toasted rye bread with mashed avocado (with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt), some black beans, alfalfa sprouts, and lashings of chipotle sour cream (just sour cream mixed with chipotle).

Grated cheese and grated carrot (equal quantities) mashed up with some milk into a thick paste. Spread onto seeded bread.

Falafel and hummus with cucumbers, shredded carrots and coriander.

Hummous with peppers and salad leaves in a wrap

Hallumi with roasted peppers

Falafel and hummous with pickles

Brie, basil and tomato in crusty bread
