Birley's is incredible. My friday lunch hangover spot of choice

I really worry about some of these places, alongside other independent gems that served the lunch hordes around work. They would have had practically zero footfall for just over a year now. hopefully we're not just left with legions of prets and leons after we return!

Also, the pilchard in tomato sauce with a dash of vinegar, salt and pepper is absolutely heaven in a mother’s pride white slice. All these poncified nouveau fillings...we need to get back to basics and some of the old skool sandwiches are amongst the very best. Add a warm coke and paper straw with a freezing seafront and howling gale and you’ve got the perfect outing.

This has always been my personal dream combo. With lashings of freshly ground black pepper. Obviously
Food and memories; I don’t want to get too Heston Blumenthal but I have a big thing about a cup of tea in a polystyrene cup on a windswept seafront/beach. I spent a lot of time near the water as a kid growing up Newhaven and would often be drinking takeaway tea from such a vessel. I still go misty eyed whenever I am presented with one now. I recently went back to the west side beach in Newhaven and the tea was still served in polystyrene much to my delight.
OK, the bao wins. Pulled pork and chicken gizzards (cooked yesterday in black beer, rice wine, dark soy, light soy, fish sauce, chicken stock, star anise, cinnamon, garlic, ginger amongst other things), crispy fried shallots, sriracha mayo. My only regret is I don't have a second one.

Yeah, if you are going to make a cheese sandwich, blue is definately the way to go, so much regular shop bought cheese, Cheddar especially, can be bland and virtually tasteless.
If l do eat a Cheddar cheese sandwich l have to add a large amount of onion or pickle to add flavour and make it taste of anything.
pasty
A different kind of pasty
Must admit, I am rather partial to a crunchy peanut butter and pineapple jam sandwich

"Crunchy" turkey? that's an interesting concept, what do you do to make it crunchy
Unless you are referring to the skin perhaps? . . .

Decent cheddar is anything but bland.

Needs to be hunted down though, most of the generic supermarket offerings just don't have enough ooomph in them . . . for my tastebuds anyway.
I know what you mean. Cheddar suffers from a lack of D.O.P. Any block of yellow nothingness can be called cheddar.
I meant the crispy outer cooked turkey, delicious.

Thankfully food has moved on from the rubbish they used to serve in state schools .

Sorry, incorrect!
The staple of the cricket tea is egg-mayo, quartered, with a sprinkling of cress.
Egg-mayo might not be the best sandwich on offer, that belongs to the coronation chicken. The KING of ALL sandwiches!
You must love Subway then. Half a dozen breads to choose from and not one of them that tastes like bread. And speaking of Subway, does anyone else remember Capt Submarine in the 80's in whatever that street's called opposite Brighton Town Hall? Foot-long Sub was to die for, least it seemed like it at the time. Seemed to unleash a whole world of roll-based possibilities in that bygone era when even things like garlic and olives seemed impossibly exotic and sophisticated. Suspect it may not have stood the test of time too well tho
I do like a nice subway as it happens.
Or did....
A friend of mine worked at Caprain Submarine for a while....

My son recently asked me how money would it take for you to eat a shit sandwich
Purchase a ready made sandwich from many supermarkets, and that's precisely what you will be eating.
