Just to go completely off-topic, Larders, I watched 'The Full Monty' again the night before last, and it's still as fresh and poignant as it was when it first came out!

I'm sure there must be a link there - but I have to confess I've never seen it  I was encased in a JPS smoke filled, darkened room, lit only by the glow of CRT monitors searching for potential Y2K bugs back then  I sort of missed the late 90's.

With due respect to SubP, we first saw 'The Full Monty' in the US, and found that we were laughing several seconds before the rest of the audience...

I love the Full Monty as it's not only very funny but quite poignant in places. Same thing with Brassed Off.

The "Children in Need" Tea was a little bit disappointing.   Only two small sandwiches, one of which was smoked salmon Urrgh.   The scones, were thumb nail size and the quiche tarts were minute, as were the sausage rolls.   Lots of cake bits,  Just didn't seem right and my friend agreed.   The house and china etc was lovely though.  and the men were all in their DJ's.    The event raised £1,230 so worthwhile.  Mrs B

BUT, not a proper sandwich  !!

Grilled sharp cheddar, sliced roasted turkey, late garden Roma tomato slices and dill pickle chips.
With a side of crisps, of course.

Just bought a pack of smoked salmon for the seasonal sarni...

Has to be white bread - hopefully Hovis, and built using a couple of triangles of Dairylea soft cheese as well!

Then an eighteen mile walk to work it all off!

My favourite is Sourdough Rye bread with sliced baked beetroot and strong local cheddar cheese.

Interesting, Comfrey, but I've never had a beetroot sandwich! I must try one now!

Agree about the cheese though, and you're in the right place for decent Chaddar, so I'll give it a go!

Growster, you have lived a deprived life. Never had a beetroot sandwich is the stuff of cruelty!!!

My dad used to make the most amazing cheese and beetroot sandwiches when we went on picnics.  Mine never seen to taste as good but I think that could be my memory.

But, but, but, Gracie's, is the beetroot pickled or just plain boiled?

[MrsPea]

My favorite is Turkey and cranberry perhaps with a bit of stuffing if any was over

I prefer it boiled just to the point of tenderness  and still a little warm if you can. Nice sharp cheddar to cut the sweetness.    Don't feel to bad about missing out- I was late to the beetroot party having been force fed pickled ones cold with salad for years it put me right off them.

OMG Never had a beetroot sandwich? I had so many of them when I was a kid (there was still some rationing, so those kinds of things were still 'en vogue' ) that I just can't stand beetroot now 

[GraciesGran]

Lardman, am sitting here with my mouth watering at the thought of that sandwich.  Like you I can't stand pickled beetroot

[Growster...]

Might have said this before, but has anyone tried a tinned pea and HP sauce sandwich?
