Sandwich Options

[james]

Last week in the pub, Paul Mike S and myself were discussing sandwiches, Paul started it by telling us about how one of his work colleagues was obviously gay because he had a sandwich he had made himself with something, rocket and pesto in it. The point being that no man should make a sandwich with green stuff let alone be able to identify rocket.

I mentioned this in conversation with Matt and Jamie (more on that later) and thought I would conduct a quick straw pole to check our assumptions about masculinity - so I asked a few people who were on MSN at the time:

QUOTE

Piper: beef salad James: what sort of salad? Piper: lettace and cucumber and spring onion

Despite quoting salad Pipe's spelt 'lettuce' wrong so he's in the clear

QUOTE

Frase: probably, ham, salami, pepporoni, with the trimmings, plus bbq sauce & mayonaise

No problems there

QUOTE

Janette : er - probably something quick cos i'm lazy - maybe cheese and ham with a bit of salad? and mayonnaise

Said salad but she's a chick so that's a-ok

QUOTE

Mike : probably some thing with a lot of meat and some chili to spice it up.

Good answer!

QUOTE

Jamie: chicken

Fine

QUOTE

Michael: Liver sausage. Or chicken breast

Again fine

For me it would be bacon - love bacon sarnies.

And then there was Matt's answer (not on MSN but in the pub):

QUOTE

Sun dried tomato, mozzarella and smoked salmon. On a bagel.

Oh my fucking word.

May I just ask, what's the Ringer stance on 'The Sainsburys Christmas Club Sandwich'?

I'm rather partial to this seasonal snack but obviously I don't want to be purchasing a sarnie that isn't fully endorsed by the Patrol for risk of ridicule and castigation.

I can't see there being a problem with turkey and sausage meat and surely the fact that its made with 3 slices of white bread rather than the usual 2 adds a few plus points?

However I am slightly concerned by the use of Cranberry sauce (jam basically) and the chesnut stuffing mayonaisse. There is also some sort of green in there. I can't remember off hand but I believe It may be water cress.

If you could get back to me asap as its nearly lunchtime.......
