My favourite sandwich has gotta be mayo chicken in a bagel with crunchy lettuce, satisfying in both taste and the crunchy texture of chopped iceberg lettuce from the shops.
Another one would be sausage and egg with some cheeky brown sauce (British lemmy users know what I mean)
What is YOUR favourite sandwich? Fillings or sauces to go with it, maybe your favourite type of bread?
I think it probably still has to be Christmas sandwiches. It’s a whole British style Christmas dinner in a sandwich.
The key is in stacking it high without it all falling over and then squishing it all down to hold it’s shape. Traditionally for my family it’s the most commercial, crappy supermarket white sliced bread you can find, but I have had it with some pretty yummy sourdough. The bread is important because with all the greasy mushy sauces, it needs a tight crumb structure so you don’t get bits of sauce coming through the holes as you bite. You want something soft because you don’t want to be chewing and tearing hard crusts whilst trying to keep the delicate sandwich all together, but if it’s too soft then it tends to fall apart from all the moisture in the gravy and bread sauce. Sometimes toasting just the inner faces of the bread can work, but it has to be lightly toasted to make sure the bread retains some flexibility during the squish down step.
We all like the sandwiches even more than the actual Christmas dinner, which is already awesome.
