What's your favourite sandwich? single choice poll.
Cheese is my favourite for a sandwich and my favourite cheese is strong mature cheddar and I love to with lots of salad or just tomatoes or onions.
And in home baked gluten free bread.
I love cheese,ham and pickle on seeded bread.I also like bacon and egg sandwich,and also Coronation Chicken sandwich, but i always think other peoples sandwiches look nicer than mine.😁
What’s a Coronation chicken sandwich? It sounds very Regal. 🤔
well,it is regal in a way as it was produced for the Queens Coronation in 1953,and it is extremely popular too. It is cooked chicken mixed with a curry sauce ,with sultanas and apricots,its mainly used as a main course with salad,but there are different variations. I will look in my book.
Very posh! It sounds very tasty and colorful as well. 👏
this is the simple recipe.▢3 tbsp Greek yogurt - or crème fraiche for a creamier taste
▢1 ½ tsp madras curry powder
▢⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
▢⅛ tsp salt
▢⅛ tsp white pepper
▢3 tbsp mango chutney
▢2 tbsp sultanas
▢3 dried apricots - finely chopped
▢500 g (1.1lb) cooked chicken breast, roughly chopped
▢1 tbsp toasted almond flakes
INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, cinnamon, salt, pepper, mango chutney, sultanas and apricots until combined.
Add in the chopped chicken and stir to coat the chicken.
Place in a serving bowl and top with flakes almonds, then serve as part of a salad or in a sandwich.
😋😊Thank you for the recipe. Very generous of you. I’ll save this post. I always have chicken on hand.
Enjoy......i absolutely love it and sometimes have it in jacket potatoes......or just by the spoonful....lol.
It can be a very mild curry flavour, that’s the way I would have it and without sultanas & apricots.
It's what passed for exotic, fusion food in 1953, a year before rationing ended and when olive oil wasn't a food, it was a cosmetic that could only be found in a chemist shop.
Thank you for that bit of history. So you’re saying olive oil at that time was just chemicals labeled as olive oil? If so, thank goodness that changed.
I don't think so, it just wasn't something the Brits cooked with. It was used for things like rubbing on the skin to prevent stretch marks. You can still buy it at a chemist, though why would you? boots.com/boots-pharmaceuti...
No one was eating foreign food. Even French food, from just a couple of hundred miles from London would be rarely eaten outside fine restaurants.
So curry powder (Indian) mixed with mayonnaise (French) would have be delightfully exotic.
🤔 I wonder what oil they used for mayonnaise?
Fancy having a poll on the best sandwich without adding BACON & ?????? xx
Hey this is why we have other Flossie1920 its often what we miss that creates the most interest.
Enjoy your bacon sandwiches. 😊
I don't eat bread so a sandwich is more complicated...perhaps sardines with blue corn chips or a slice of cold beef between two lettuce leaves. In a supermarket hunger situation I'd choose a gluten free egg sandwich or sushi.
I don't eat bread either, for an emergency snack I opt for a scotch egg or some falaffel.
Hot smoked salmon with cream cheese andchives, and the addition of a few hot pepper flakes, for me please Jerry!
Hey what a great sandwich combo Sue. 👍
Lol I’ll take two!
My favourite is a sliced smoked salmon.
Got you there! Salmon, cream cheese, capers and diced red onions. To die for. 😋 On toasted bread.
Grated cheese and onion on white bread. Just a smidge of butter.
Ham, cheese and tomato for me... It must be toasted!
Hey thats a great point I should've put toasted sandwiches as an option.
Your sandwich sounds really good. 😊
Bacon
It's actually hard to choose! I think my favourite would be cream cheese and salami, shortly followed by ham and butter 🙂
Now that is a nice combo Cooper...😊
All about combinations and texture..! Any of above with lettuce and mayo mustards or pickles...
Prawn and mayo is my favourite combo but it’s difficult to select just one. Really good bread makes most fillings delicious.
tomato and avocado with salt and olive oil and oregano, and when I want something fancy a vegan spread, for instance baba ghanoush
But I like Cheese, Chicken, Tuna, Mackerel!Just Ham in sandwiches is more convenient with cucumbers and Ploughman Pickle, 4 cherry tomatoes and red grapes for pudding when at work!👍😊
Hard goat cheese and tomato with mayo. But I do go through phases where I just want to eat real egg mayo ( home-made mayo not shop bought) sandwiches. Although my sandwiches are usually made on rolls. If I don't feel like making the mayo I keep a Polish brand - Winiary Mayo 400g - in my pantry as it's the closest I've found to home-made here in the UK. I used to be a chef years ago and the taste of this is very close to what I used to make then and the ingredients are all natural. Nothing unpronounceable.
Reuben for me. Lots of Swiss cheese, piled high with pastrami, tart juicy sauerkraut and French dressing. Let the good times roll! 😋
Ploughmans
Ploughman’s
Egg and onion made with salad cream or salad sandwiches made with salad cream
I love a BLT sandwich.
I don't eat bread very often but when I do then bacon or sausage sandwich. I prefer a wrap and love M&S hoisin duck wrap.
Can’t pick a single favourite, but some top contenders are: Brie and grape, egg mayo and cress, tuna with lemon pepper mayo, almond butter with fruit spread, cream cheese and marmite.
I love a delicious salad sandwich with several ingredients and yoghurt garlic sauce
Your sandwiches sound delicious DeeSending …😊
I don't eat.....blah blah blah
But this has been a special week, I had two sandwiches, as I have been testing blood sugar, and they were both 😋
The first was a chicken katsu sando, which is eye-wateringly expensive (I got it at end of day for free) and delicious. I will never eat one again, but it was lovely mysushishop.co.uk/en/delive...
The second was roast beef between almond microwave mug bread with plenty of horseradish. Also delicious, and I may have it again tonight.
I remember when I first arrived in the UK and discovered Pret a Manger. They had the best sandwich in the world (now long discontinued). It was a small, crusty baguette, and brie, so much brie, maybe a whole small brie, and sliced tomato. Butter, salt and pepper. It was marvellous. I'd find low carb harder if it was still available.
Turkey with lettuce, tomato, and bacon
Mashed banana and streaky bacon on small wholemeal or plain crisps preferably unsalted.
Cheese egg and onion sandwich
Hi Hidden ,
Wonderful poll!
I picked tuna, but it was a hard choice since I also like cheese, egg, chicken and peanut butter. When we have tuna, it's usually mixed together with hummus of different flavors we have in the house and not between bread. We use bread mostly for the peanut butter and Jam and cheese with mustard sandwiches.
Thank you Leah, it is harder with single choice and you have lots of faves here, I’ve not heard of hummus and tuna a very interesting combination both very nutritious.
I don’t eat mustard but am going to have to buy some after recent replies to this and the last poll as I love cheese and with mustard it sounds very appealing. 😊
You’re welcome! The mustard is yellow and you can put it either on the bread and push the two pieces together so both have a way for the cheese(s) to stay in the sandwich.
Hummus can be used instead of the mayonnaise for the tuna.😀👍
You need to be careful when talking about mustard, transatlantically. I think yellow mustard in America is quite mild, while the most notable yellow mustards in the UK are called English mustard, and are quite a bit hotter than Dijon. If an American was to mistake English mustard for American and use a similar amount, there would be pain involved.
You can get French's mustard these days in UK supermarkets, but I would advise Jerry buying a local or European variety, rather than getting the American.
Subtle_badger and Hidden ,
The mustard I use has no spices mixed in-- so it isn't spicy at all. The only spicy mustards that we have here were gifts, but we don't use those on the cheese sandwiches.
Thank you Subtle_badger the reason I avoid mustard is it usually contains wheat unless I buy gluten free ones from whole food shops and I will use it sparingly so it doesn’t have too much bite.
And your mustard sounds really interesting Leah.
So thanks guys for your replies. 😊
Here's what you need

My understanding is it's just ground mustard seeds, so gluten free - but do your own due diligence.
I add the powder to recipes (mostly mayonnaise) or mix it with water to make mustard. You could get creative and add vinegar or wine, salt, pepper and spices.
This is my mustard. Shelf life of eternity (or close) and a very spicy delight
I have two favorites one is a peanut butter and homemade dill pickle. The other an avocado toast
I do love the sound of your dill pickle Panz 😊
I just don't really like or eat sandwiches! I am more likely to have a salad with some sort of protein source if eating an equivalent meal.
When I'm flaring I crave egg mayo sandwiches with extra salt. I could live off them but that is the only time that I like them. But when I'm ok I like to make myself a Reuben toasted bagel or a fish finger and salad wrap. I don't usually touch bread unless in my egg mayo sandwiches.
Bacon cheese and a little bit of tuna and slices of tomato I always find is a real winner and maybe some salad dressing of choice I would side with honey and mustard or maybe Worcestershire sauce 😋
Tinned red salmon, skin removed, (squash the bones with a fork for calcium) mixed with a little vinegar and salt, add sliced cucumber and a wholemeal bagette spread with mayonnaise!
Sorry but we never eat sandwiches so can't really vote.
Chicken and lot's of salad but it really depends on my mood 😋.
Mature cheddar grated with spring onion and light Mayo . Try 50% lighter cheese too . Nice
My favorite sandwich is a cucumber sandwich with a little bit of salad cream. I find it is so refreshing in my mouth. Not only is it refreshing it has so many health benefits for your body as well, so it is a win win. Love your surveys.
