from that, what are your thoughts on butter in burger rolls? i've always done it, but the wife said it's wrong, you always butter burger rolls don't you?? |
I think butter on burger rolls is a good thing. Not too much; just enough. You need room for the slab of cheese in the bun and some fried onions.
I don’t like those brioche buns. Too sweet, but a standard fresh crusty roll is a thing of joy with its nice open texture to soak up the butter, cheese, onion and beef juices.
Cheese? Well processed cheese works ok, but a strong cheddar is best or stilton.
Getting hungry now. |  | | |

For health, cost of living or taste reasons?
And just to generate some fellow feeling, last week I tried, for the first time in years, a wheeze of my ex.wife's. Toast the bread one side and then drizzle some olive oil onto it, before sprinkling sesame seeds and then back under the grill for a few minutes. |
Health initially - the cost of living move was to abandon spreadable butter and purchase a butter dish. Not sure it saves us anything but the toast (with marmalade) tastes so much better
We need to get some seasame seeds - that sounds well worth trying |  | | |

Try it with butter and Marmite an absolute delight! |
If I'm gonna smear anything on me digestive I think I would go European and cover it in Nutella. |  | | |

I had a Nutella doughnut from the local farmers market thingy the other day - cost £3 and was overfull of the stuff - yuk. Almost couldn't finish it! |  |

That's often the way with Nutella. Less is more, but its hard to show that much restraint and you just end up covering everything with it. Then becomes a bit sickly and you have to avoid it for a month. | | | |

No butter, but definitely need mayo and mustard
Brioche burger rolls don’t need the mayo |
Mayo = the sperm of the devil. |  |

Nutella: horrible.
Marmite: awful, though fine as twiglets.
Peanut butter: ban - even the smell of it is a stomach turner
Mayo: prefer salad cream, but I can allow mayo to live
Keep digestives as god intended!

You prefer salad cream to Mayo! That's an incredible statement and slightly diminishes your excellent point about peanut butter. I'm still not sure how I feel about marmite and Nutella is one if the better things that Europe as given us (along with the croissant)
Only ever eat dark chocolate digestives | | | |

I do! I think it’s a childhood thing where Heinz salad cream was about the only option and made stuff like salads bearable. Grated cheese with salad cream in a sandwich is a happy memory.
I don’t actually have salad cream these days, though there’s some in the cupboard somewhere. Mrs C likes mayo and has it with stuff, but it’s not for me.
Gone completely off tomato ketchup too. Used to burp it on just about everything back in the day [Post edited 29 Sep 2022 12:44]

To be honest it may be the shear amount of salad cream I eat as a kid in the 70,s and 80,s that makes it difficult for me to even look at it now. But as you've pointed out it did make our childhood sarnies etc slightly bearable (not easy to make another luncheon meat sandwich bearable) and probably deserves respect for that alone. | | | |

I forgot about luncheon meat. That can of pink, flaccid horror. That, spam and corned beef all found their way into sandwiches and yep, salad cream made them tolerable, just about.
Christmas brought the special treat of ‘ye old oak ham’ in a ham shaped tin with a key opening lid designed to slash wrists and fingers. No amount of dripping blood could take away from the grey green jelly and pink lump within. It was gross, but the parents told us it was a Christmas treat. No it wasn’t. Lasted forever too. Salad cream, Branston pickle, pickled onions anything to disguise the ghastliness.
Lifesaver was salad cream. A bottle of that belongs on the spare plinth in Trafalgar Square. | | | |

Does that mean you were also a fan of "sandwich spread" (i think that is a mix of coleslaw and salad cream)? That should never have been allowed to survive, and yet it still does...
I am not going to budge on peanut butter - it is excellent for refuelling | | | |

I fell for the ye olde oak ham being a Xmas treat line. Would volunteer to risk my life every year trying to get the twisty key thing to work without spilling to much blood onto my waiting white bread. I loved the weird jelly stuff(the 80,s were absolutely awful). But your completely correct, it was only the pickle, pickled onions salad cream etc that made it even slightly edible. | | | |

Actually yes. Rarely have it but I love sandwich spread. Not the weedy diet rubbish, but the full on Heinz original. Bread, butter and the sandwich spread is all you need. Food of the gods.
I don’t like the taste of peanuts so peanut butter is on the ban from the planet list. | | | |

A big spoonful straight from the jar is pretty hardcore. I have to confess to sneakily downing a tin or 2 of carnation milk every now and again when no one was looking | | | |

I used to really love carnation milk, sometimes straight from the tin, but haven’t had any in years. | | | |

Put some decent strong mature cheddar cheese on it. |
Nah - put a little chunk of Stilton on a Digestive; you'll be opening the fridge door and screaming "Why did I waste so much bloody time on you?" at the Cheddar. |  |

Do love a custard cream, wonderful value for money too if you get the own label ones like I do. How you can get a big packet of them for about 40p is beyond me.
Bananas are another one. How's a thing that's been grown, picked, shipped 5,000 miles from Costa Rica, driven to my local Tesco and put on a shelf, till only costing me 14p?
Mind blown. |
All of this. Bananas are impossibly cheap. It makes no sense. Even the “organic” ones here are still great value. 59 cents a pound. Compared to apples grown in the US which can be as high as $3.49 a pound for Honeycrisp |  |
