If we've settled on a sarny being two slices of bread and not a roll, then the bread itself should be a deciding factor as well. Sorry, but a couple of slices of Tesco own brand or Warburton white just isn't going to cut it. Bland ****e. Fresh bread, preferably uncut, then cut thick at home with a gulley knife. Bit of dark crust on the top. Proper bread.
I have hesitated to add my two penneth as my all time fav sandwich ? was ham and pease pudding in home made fresh stottie, second and VAR proof is, two bananas with ample brown sugar on thick uncut white bread , followed by a glass or two of Appleton Estate .
Roker cafe, 35yr ago ish, did (amongst others) king size (1/3 of a stottie as opposed to the normal 1/4) chip and egg buttie (many combinations available) with brown sauce. Also my fave for away matches, in Tesco's weeny one-bite sized bunettes (I was driving) was tuna and salad cream, not girly bland mayonnaise, with the advantage of no one else in the car liking them so they didn't try to nick them.
Tuna and salad cream is undoubtedly superior to tuna\mayo. My bairns agree too. Might have missed it, if mentioned already...but tuna sandwich deserves a spot in the final vote. Love a tuna sandwich.
