"Dairylea. What a moment it is opening that little triangle of perfection."

People have been reasonably tolerant on this thread all things considered but you're taking the piss now.


At least say Boursin. At least. It's the middle class Daiylea.

Clearly a man with a lot of respect for the ricotta. Understandable, I'm more of a paneer man myself, though I do fear the fall out from such a statement


I'll make paneer from time to time when I can be bothered.

It goes well with mushrooms and peas in a tomato based sauce.

Ricotta, not so much. Although I do know some Maltese folk who make lasagne with ricotta and have made it myself to check it out. It was ok and a quick option, but not my preferred choice.

Now the basics of a decent ragu is one of those things Bulbeck and I agreed on.

I know your type - Stick something posh on Instagram while your freezer is an Aladin's cave of Findus Crispy Pancakes and alphabites. Self-loathing is fine, but try to be discrete about it and we'll all do what we can to help you recover from this culinary midlife crisis.


Your type is one who can't accept change; that there are better ways you never envisioned. I'm happy with my sandwich choice. The self loathing appears to be coming from your jealous heart.

So many good sandwich options, but fresh baguette in France (none in UK make the grade) with plenty of unsalted butter, cured ham and comté cheese is close to perfection.

In UK, the Dieppoise from Paul's is utterly wonderful too. Rustic baguette, tuna in a crunchy, slightly mustardy mayo...

As though the tomato and pickle was going to change things.

Would not touch corned beef as a kid. My mother tried to push it on us in sandwiches and I was having none of it.

Spam was a staple diet for a while I seem to remember but wouldn't so much as look at the ingredients on a tin now in case it is exactly what I'd assume it to be.

Feck! That's a tad harsh Flash. It's only a sarnie debate on a league 1 football forum. Not sure anyone ever deserves the 'you don't understand cheese' grenade.


Yeah I admit my comment was a bit strong (extra mature).

I can only apologise and leave TWTD for a while to reflect on what I've done.

Yeah, I thought the other fillings could do some heavy lifting and hide the taste. No such luck.

It was either spam or fish paste sarnies when I was a kid. Oh, and cucumber and/or tomato on their own was another staple. Only ever on white sliced bread.

A good corned beef and pickle roll can be a wonderful thing, imo. Although proper Jewish deli style corned beef would be immeasurably better, of course. But we are where we are.

Mother still gets a Spam fritter from the chip shop...

Olde Oak tinned ham was saved as a special Xmas treat in our house. I use to love the weird salty jelly stuff that surrounded it. Those were definitely not the days

Fish paste was a treat compared to spam or luncheon meat. Unfeasibly pink slice of abject nastiness. Every mouthful it felt like it was fighting back. Corned beef? Ok in a hash but all this stuff needed a lot of disguise.

Ye Olde Oak Ham: the Christmas treat. A can of ham shaped ghastliness surrounded in grey and green jelly. It had the ability to regenerate as it seemed to last for days. The only entertainment was watching my dad nearly slice his hand off opening it when that stupid key thing inevitably broke.

Ye olde oak ham sandwiches - the jellied mess would slide out from the slices of bread without careful handling. Needless to say the bread and butter even with the limpet like fat globules was a better option so careless handling was the order of the day.

Sandwich spread* too.

Wasn't that something along the lines of mashed up coleslaw?

I sort of didn't mind that the first few times but like most lunch sandwich things it soon got dull.

What an era we came from. Not exactly spoilt were we.


Edit: * not paste!

Bin the ketchup. You're not 8 are you?

Sausages must be Cumberland, butcher not supermarket rubbish. Sliced in half and open side fried last, to get some crispy edges and melt the butter with liquid gristle and pig fat. 10pts if some drips down as you squeeze the sandwich to get a better bite.

Mustard should be French or French's because that's the one condiment Americans got right.

Bread, white and decent, butter unsalted and room temperature innit.

_________________________________________________________________________

Also, I learnt this great recipes for onions. Fine slice until you have enough to fill a skillet. Melt some butter, layer em up on the lowest heat. Let the weight of the onions press down until the butter starts crisping up the bottom layer, then rearrange. Repeat until they shrink down over 30 mins or so while you prep everything else.

Save the rest as a topping for other meals or future sandwiches. TWTD can thank me later.

I remember shrimp paste and salmon paste, but guessing these weren't made from the finest parts of the fish.

They both tasted the same whatever unwanted parts they consisted of.

Mind you, sardine and tomato fish paste is to be enjoyed to this day. In a sandwich, on toast like pate or straight out of the jar. It’s great!

I like Churchers and am pretty much in alignment with most of what he says, most of the time.

However, if ever invited to his for dinner, I would come up with something, anything, as an excuse to not attend.

We also have on another post Mullers sharing a recipe for crispy onions for christ's sake.

This is along the lines of someone who has just discovered how to slice bread.

At least we now get to see the competition in its true light.

Harsh, very harsh. You’ll be telling me you don’t like Heinz sandwich spread next (not the diet rubbish).

Nothing wrong with crispy onions by the way, if they’re applied sparingly a good quality steak sandwich with a small burp of ketchup.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with crispy onions.

I was suggesting they're not a new concept to most of us and don't require much in the way of a recipe.

Still if it makes the kids feel good that they feel they've discovered something.

I might find start planting some bones left over from weekly roasts in their gardens. Maybe rough them up a bit; dirty them, bit of distressing and bury them in easy to find spots.

They can then think they've found a fossil or two. It'll be nice.

Good plan! If they miss a few some Attenborough clone will be raving over them in 5000 years and they’ll be in the Natural History Museum under Jeerassic Age fossils.

Ok, I’m clearly losing the plot….

Maybe from some of the samples the future scientists will be able to tell id I'd used onion gravy or not.
