National Sandwich Week - My Top 10

This week has been National Sandwich Week and I do love a sandwich but you will not be surprised to hear, I am not adventurous when it comes to fillings, pretty bland really. I am a simple man who enjoys simple things.

The below are my favourite sandwiches home made because they are not available in shops, where mayo as a spread is king. Outside on the high street only a few shop sell pre-packed without mayo. When in Cardiff town centre it could be heart-breaking looking for a non-mayo sandwich but then there is the indoor market where their sandwiches a spread with butter or margarine.

First white bread is the best and I prefer it over brown bread or this seedy nut bread stuff all the rage with some health conscious people but good hold white bread is my preference, which my waistline can testify to, bad Peter.

Here are my top ten sandwiches in no particular order

• Salmon and pickled onions – that is tinned salmon with chopped up picked onions
• Chopped Pork with sliced tomatoes – Chopped Pork = Spam but not the trademark American the difference is small but do I care! I like them both
• Ham/Chicken with sliced tomatoes, salad option – Many opinions here where I normally like a plain sandwich with some sliced tomatoes as a compliment. But I do from time to time enjoy a salad.
• Princes Chicken paste spared – You know the one the small jar of paste we find in most shops always consider by me as the poor man sandwich.
• Sausage/Bacon – Heaven in a sandwich no matter which one you put between two slices of bread. Bacon is by far the most popular with the British public. If I had to choose one of the two, it would be a sausage sandwich you just cannot beat a good sausage.
• Ham with pickled onions – I like a good slice Ham and it is always good if there are a few pickled onions laying around in the cupboard.
• Boiled Egg with sliced tomatoes – again with the sliced tomatoes Petey …. I like them what can a say! It has been awhile since I have had the pleasure of one of these sandwiches, maybe this weekend.
• Ham and Boiled Egg – As above
