I tried to load this before so sorry if it appears twice.
I am a sandwich lover and go through phases of loving a particuar one.
At the moment my fave is bbq chicken ( from the supermarket) chopped , sultanas, s and p, with celery, red onions and walnuts ( all diced tiny) , smothered in good egg mayo. On buttered fresh white bread.
I'm getting tired of it after a month so am after new ideas please.
I have heaps more but I've done them for a month each too.
Thanks

Hot
philly cheese steak sandwich from fat pats in Manchester
A Cubano from Miami
A chopped cheese from a New York Bodega

I actually thought the Katz Deli sandwich was overrated, amazing amount of meat but bad bread

Cold
Ham and Egg from Pret
Tuna
A simple bacon 🥓 but streaky crispy bacon
Bacon and cream cheese bagel

We are a massive fan of philly cheesesteaks here. ( I call them chilli freezesteaks but I am weird). We add fried capsicum with the onions and my goodnes they are delicious. I think I could live on sandwiches. Thanks all again, I am going to go through this thread slowly . So many good ideas.

We are a nut free house so I use tahini alot. One of my favourites is a wrap with tahini, sliced dates and a drizzle of honey.

I also love a proper Australian style salad sandwich with white bread, finely sliced iceberg, mayo, eggs, grated carrot, sliced tomato, pineapple rings and cheddar cheese.

Just realised you forgot the beetroot!!! Sacriledge!!!

This is my Mum's recipe (she's not called Lynne, it came out of an ancient 1970s book called Clever with Cream)

fry onions in the oil til soft, add the curry powder, tomato purée, apricot jam and then cook out. Then add the chicken stock and reduce until thickened. Leave to cool. Add the mayonnaise, salad cream and whipped cream (except we never use the cream, you could also put Greek yoghurt in instead)

i usually use roast chicken, I use all the bird and this is a good use for leftover Sunday roast carcass/leg meat which we aren't that keen on as it disguises it. But it's definitely best made with chicken breast. If I cook breasts specifically for this recipe I just gently cook the breasts in the oven but steaming would work equally well.

hmm think I might have to make this for the weekend. We love it, it's a lighter, wetter coronation chicken and lovely on an open sandwich or in a wrap. In fact I don't like coronation chicken as it compares unfavourably to this. You could add sultanas if you wanted, I think I'd cook them with thr onions so they absorb the stock and plump up

I did forget it!!!

My Aussie mother will never forgive me. Grin

If we can include burgers in sandwiches then I do love a decent fish and chip shop burger with beetroot and a fried egg.

Thanks to this thread I have had more sandwiches these past few weeks than the whole year I think.

But my favourite was a very plain white bread with butter and mortadella. DS1's fave was white bread with cream cheese and chicken slices. We had that during sports day with a chocolate bar and ginger ale. I felt very retro.

Leftovers, Char Sui chicken and veg kebabs (tomatoes, mushrooms, shallots, peppers) in a pita with spicy mayo.

I love a club, minus the middle bit of bread. Chicken and bacon, lettuce, tomato, loads of pepper on the tomato, mayo. I like mayo on one slice of bread, salad cream on the other.

Oooh club sandwich! Dream of my childhood!
also squishy sliced bread with butter, mild cheddar and a hot chocolate. Something about the simplicity of it.

Roast harissa aubergine, feta dip and rocket is my lunch option this week.
