littlebrowndragon 177 #1 Posted February 7 As I remarked in another food related topic, I do not like cooking. Most of my meals are sandwiches. One of my favourites is ham with coleslaw (or red cabbage), sliced pickled gherkins and lettuce. Having said I don't like cooking, coming up with new sandwich fillings makes the job a little more interesting. For example, using red cabbage instead of coleslaw was a recent innovation. So, what are your favourite sandwich fillers? Do you have any unusual food combinations in sandwiches that I could try? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essan 7,737 #4 Posted February 7 When I am at work I eat sandwiches and my preferences are for smoked salmon with cheese spread and cucumber; BLTs, fish fingers with ketchup, pilchards/sardines with tomato and tabasco sauce, or tuna and mayonnaise. When I was very young, we used to eat brown sugar sandwiches I also once came up with marmalade and Branston pickle. Which I must try again some day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avocado and humous sound like interesting fillings... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which I must try again some day! A friend of mine used to take marmalade with his breakfast bacon. I had given consideration to trying marmalade with ham. Marmalade and Branston pickle - will give it a try. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rashore 17,536 #7 Posted February 7 Yeah, too many good sandwiches out there to type them all, that was a handy list while I was being lazy on the tablet earlier this morning. For me a "new" thing to try out is Kewpee mayo- it's mayo from Japan, I just got some recently for the first time. For egg sandwiches specifically, but I'll also use it in other cooking applications. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HandsomeGorilla 6,409 #8 Posted February 8 (edited) Sauerkraut, Kimchi, avocado, 'specialty' bacon or cured ham, prosciutto. And eggs, of course. They also make tons of interesting varieties of mayo, now. For me, when it comes to a sandwich, it's either a Cuban or a Reuben. If I want a few less calories but still an awesome filling meal, can't beat a couple good quality whole fried eggs between a couple pieces of sourdough. Add a little bacon fat to the eggs and maybe a couple strips on top. Edited February 8 by HandsomeGorilla 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littlebrowndragon 177 #13 Posted February 26 Another favourite sandwich filler is sliced apple. I often use sliced apple with ham or frankfurters (cold frankfurters - no need to heat them up). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
