I'm afraid that I tend to stop at a decent cheese and tom sarni, and perhaps a BLT when I remember to get the bacon out of the freezer...

In fact, I'm really a bit of a sarni pillock to be honest...

But I do like Mrs Growster's apple crumble for breakfast though, that really does cut the mustard...:0~

   You can stick all the fancy offerings. Hand cut bread, real butter so cold you have to slice it and cheddar. With salad cream not mayo. My other go to is a plain crisp sardine. They always hit the spot.

Fabulous!

Mrs Growster is in mid-hanker about a sardine sandwich at the moment! I never thought about the plain crisps, preferably not Walkers - a really decent crisp is called for...

Marmite is great!  :lol:

Sounds like we've hit on one of the great divides here mind.

Marmite on toast or on a thickly buttered crust is considered comfort food here and in my youngest daughter's household.  Eldest family is not allowed Marmite in the house as Ant (SIL) can't stand the smell.   I used to like Bovril and cucumber in a sarnie and I'm another votee for a beetroot sandwich (with salad cream NOT mayo).

Marmite is just nectar of the Gods, and contains everything needed for the human race...

I only recently learned that it is nice with pasta, and it really is, but of course, pasta isn't a sandwich, so doesn't count...

The key thing that happened was various companies adding positively weird ingredients to basic sandwiches to justify charging double the price. HH
Keep digging

We used to have a lovely deli right in the town centre here that did amazing sandwiches.  It was just a choice of cheese or cold meats they picked from their range every day and really good bread.  No frills but they were very, very good.

It is OH’s claim to fame that he used to get his workaday smoked cheese roll from Kate Winslip each lunchtime, back in the day before she was the Kate Winslip  :lol:

Have to admit that I've never had a beetroot sandwich! Dunno why, it's just never occurred to me, even though I just love beetroot!

A basic cheese and tom sandwich is a requirement here, every other day perhaps...

Plus ordinary salad cream - not mayo!

You need to try a cheese, beetroot and salad cream sarnie, there's no going back.
You can thank me later  :D

I have to admit, Marmite (and the similar-sounding product from down under, Vegemite) have Americans confused.  But then again we have peanut butter; also confusing and strange/weird unless you've eaten it all your life.

Of the two 'mites, my research on the interwebs indicates both are yeast extract products, one is the consistency of motor oil and is banned in Denmark, while the other is more like axle grease and is banned in America. I can't offer an opinion, since I've never seen either one of them for sale here. So, enlighten me, what do people love, or hate, about Marmite?

I hope you realise that you have now started what will be long remembered as yet another Marmite debate, SubP! There will be slaughter on both sides, and prisoners will be forcefully taken from both camps.

I think we lost about fifteen gardeners here during the last Marmite War (2010), and several more good people just disappeared, never to be seen again, because of their views!

The real winners are Unilever of course, as they make the stuff, and all their profits all come from the last tiny drop of Marmite left on the edge of the millions of plates...

Like any good Subversive (or even a bad Subversive), I try to sow chaos and disharmony wherever I can.  Just doing my part. You're welcome.
