Went up to the counter with me sarnie and the woman said "that will be £3.59 please". For a cheese and chutnet sandwich on white bread, nothing special.

I asked where I should bend over as i thought the price was "a bit excessive". She didnt find it funny, especially when i said the company were robbin bastads. Then i was asked to go away.

Well I've just had a rather nice bacon and stilton on grannary for £1.25 from our subsidised "restuarant"

That does sound a bit excessive for a cheese and pickle sarnie!

Scooby Roo

But Dave said "chutnet" not pickle... Is that French cos it sounds expensive to me

druddle

Ah yes, thats it. It actually said "Cheese et chutnet", sort of an anglo-french affair it seems. In that case, I dont mind paying extra. Back to Sainos for me salad tomorrow i think.

Lol for 20p more you could have a full roast dinner at Toby Carvery!

We have a sandwich bar at our canteen which makes your sanger/roll etc to your spec. Tuna Salad baguette costs around £1.60. We also have little newsagent style shops in the main building which sell upper crust baguettes - £2.99 for a prepacked cheese and ham baguette. Feel like doing the sock thing from the Egg advert - £2.99 - you what?

ajm

not like you have much choice now the dinner lady has banned you from the canteen! Did you get a wack on the hand with the ladle?

druddle

Didnt say i was banned but she will probably flob on me spam fritters next time i'm in there

Chip are you sure ? Have you taken leave of your senses ? MAKE A SANDWICH !!!

You dont make sandwiches, they grow on trees (or in our canteen here they seem to grown in chiller cabinets).

Honestly

ajm

Huh? I always thought sandwiches were only available at petrol stations?!

Tiggs

youre not paying for a sandwich...youre paying for the sandwichs location...ie close to you.

if you dont like it go to the nearest shop....whats that? theres no shop near by? then you need to pay extra for a sandwich near you.

Us primitve types here in Wales have,over the years pefected the ancient art of Sandwich making. Local favourites being:

Caerphilly cheese and leek
Swansea cockle
Laverbread (seaweed)

We also specialise in that old classic dish Welsh rarebit(known in lesser parts as cheese on toast)

A brief history:

There are a wide variety of this immensely versatile dish in this country, in regular use as the lunch of office workers. As a result, for once the commercially supplied examples are generally excellent nowadays- good ingredients, imaginative fillings and superbly fresh.

The sandwich is supposed to have been 'invented' by the Earl of Sandwich, who would not leave the gaming table where he had been gambling heavily and called for his meat to be clapped between two pieces of bread and brought to him there at the table. ****** can hardly believe he was the first person to eat like this. More likely it was that he was the first aristocrat to give such common behaviour as eating with the fingers the cachet of titled recognition and therefore entry into recorded history.

Sandwiches can be hot or cold, cooked or raw, open or closed, crusty or soft, meat, cheese, eggs, fish, or salad. Here are few examples.

I told them to stuff a £3.20 cheese sandwich at Welcome Break recently - I'd rather culture my own cheese than pay that much!!!! Maybe that IS the solution - stink them out with bacteria and rennet and mouldy milk under your desk - 'just making cheese boss'
