I was at Monkwearmouth college in '82 to '84 doing my City & Guilds in bakery and catering. When we made bread you could buy what you had made, and a large loaf was 10p to buy. The teacher would always cut 1 loaf in have to check the internal texture...this cut loaf was 5p to buy. Me and a mate would take turns buying the cut one, and have half each. We used to walk to the chippy on our dinner, and eat the bread out the middle on the way there, then get the chippy to hoy a bag of chips in the hollowed out half loaf. Salt and vinegar on...now that was a chip butty.
I went to Usworth Comp early 80's, we used to walk into Concord at lunch time and go to Carricks (now a Greggs). We bought a stottie and some chips each, and would make a small insert into the stottie with a finger then carefully expand an internal caverty without splitting the crust. Chips were then rammed in for a sealed chip buttie. Kept us amused anyway.
I agree BD. They have been radicalised, and there can be little hope for them all. A sandwich is indeed, as the 4th Earl had it made, something in between two slices of bread, that you can eat with one hand, in his case I think, so he could play cards with the other! Rolls indeed.
Turkey and stuffing Grated Cheddar Cheese, celery and mayonnaise (m&s used to do a lovely version ) Marmite and cucumber
I started there Easter term 82, moved from another school. Left in 85. Dunno if you still pass there but they're building houses on the grounds around what is now the college.
Egg and cress. Do they do those anymore. I remember growing cress on tissues at school and taking it home to Mam. About the only thing you could do with the bloody stuff.
I’m not sure they qualify. Any toastie requires meltiness so must have cheese. It might be a niche view but if it hasn’t got cheese it ain’t a toastie, it’s a missed opportunity.
