O/T best sandwich ever is.....

[Party Hull!]

Basically, anyone who pronounces anything foreign in a non-English accent is a twat.

They just sound funny, while trying to be clever and cultural or something.

Like, an English person asking for a Paella but saying it as if there's no 'L's in the word, like what the Spanish do.

Leave it to the Spaniards! It's their language. Don't try to impress everyone by putting on some regional flair as you ask for your dinner, just say it normal and don't embarrass everyone.

I went on a date once and ordered meatballs in an Italian. They weren't called 'meatballs' on the menu, it was summut else but Italian obviously. In the description it basically said "Meatballs and pasta". So, when I ordered it, I said "Alright mate, can I have the spaghetti and meatballs? Ta fella" and apparently that wasn't right.

It was, it just said summut different.

****'s sake.

If we are now talking US sandwiches, you can't beat a Philadelphia Cheesesteak Sandwich from South Philadelphia. It consists of thinly sliced steak, cheese of choice, and optionally fried onions cooked on a grill as you wait in line and placed in a roll slit down the middle. Still doesn't beat a chip buttie though. Surprised no one has mentioned Marmite sandwiches, banana sandwiches , Spam sandwiches or Corned Beef sandwiches before me.

Banana sandwiches was the only food that my Dad could "cook", at a time, when I was young and my Mam was in hospital.

With sugar on.

His repertoire isn't much better now.

He's no Marco Pierre White, or Heston.

I agree with your opinion Party, what happened with the dining companion?

It is popular but all true Capitals fans would never acknowledge anything good coming out of PA.

You can get almost any sandwich in Sydney that you can get in the uk with the exception of good old corned beef - so it's corned beef salad and salad cream for me...

the great salad cream debate continues

There is surely no debate - corned beef and salad needs salad cream - in a large soft white roll..

 

[Happy Tiger]

Salad cream is rank. It might even need its own thread in all honesty. Vile stuff.

Can I put Zidane's Left Foot in a bap?
If so, that would be mine. Thanks.

Have to agree there... Salad cream is repulsive.

Can't beat a Spam sandwich IMO. Love it!

Your not one of those cocks who goes oh wasnt the game between Barcelona and Meelan wonderful. I bet you are

Well, as Milan were founded by Englishmen they have an English name. So no.

White bread is rank, butter is rank, salad cream is rank.

Someone had that on room 101 a couple of weeks ago, and as they said would you do the same in a Chinese restaurant

 

[Steven Toast]

Yeah but when they brought the product out, whenever that was, they didn't go "right this is Chipotle sauce, it goes on tacos and burritos and sandwiches. Pronounce it however you like." There's a right and wrong way to say it and it does sound pedantic but it's just the way it goes. With foreign stuff you have to make the effort to pronounce their words properly, it's not like just because you say Paella with the L's silent means you suddenly have the ability to speak fluent Spanish. If I'm asking for Paella in Spain, I'll pronounce it how they do, because it's their stuff. If a Spanish person asked me a question in their best attempt at English, I'd expect them to do the same.

It's like David Meyler. The correct way (more importantly the way he says it) is Myler, but everybody seems to call him Mayler. Or Gaydo (It's Geddo). If you say stuff like it's spelled, I'd love to hear you say Wojciech Szczęsny's name!

I think there is a difference with Chinese restaurants to be honest. On a chinese menu (from memory as I never go to Chinese restaurants/takeaways) are the dishes described as Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, hot and sour soup, egg fried rice etc. They are more descriptions of food than names of dishes.

Party, how would you ask for Penne al Arrabiata? Can I have some of that tubey pasta, with a chilli, tomato and bacon sauce please squire?
