  I'm not a vegetarian, but since I did a 4 day all vegetarian lunch with something different each day, I must say I've rather taken to the vegetarian sandwiches. Grated carrot, chopped nuts, onion bound with mayo. Or white bean puree, roasted aubergine, rocket, and maybe a few pinenuts. On the meat side though, meatballs make wonderful subs - great way to use up last night's dinner too. What I want to try next is crushed butternut squash with blue cheese and maple syrup. Bit canadian that one.

  There's a little shop/bakery frequented by hikers in the village of Westcott in Surrey on the A25. If you're walking on Box Hill or any part of the North Downs, grab one of their crusty rolls with a door step sized piece of cheddar in it. Drive on down to the watercress farm near Gomshall and Abinger Hammer and buy a bunch. Stuff that in your roll and eat, bread, cheese and peppery greens not half a day out the ground and you'll be in sandwich heaven I promise. Simple and retro is best Janine, I have to agree. Adrian

  Prawns, mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and ............wait for it.................ready salted hoola hooops. I keep getting caught at work stuffing my shop bought sandwich with half a packet of hool hoops. Bit embarrassing, but it's a wonderful sandwich and I can be pretty sure I invented it. Otherwise I agree with you Janine, most stuff doesn't work in a buttie. I tell you what does - chippy chips, way too much salt and vinegar, way too much butter

  Ham, cheese and pineapple. If hot, cocktail sauce for dipping essential.

  alfie you are the Heston of sandwich eaters, but I agree about the chip butty - soft white bread and lots of butter and salt, and you have to squidge the sandwich down before you tuck in - food of the gods!

  sunday night with leftover from lunch roast chicken: sourdough bread, chicken, stuffing, lots of mayo, lots of salt. if noones looking, s&v crisps, on the side. OR my low-rent, stock cupboard option (can't believe i'm admitting this) tuna, sweetcorn, sarsons (it just works) and mayo.

  Bacon and HP sauce in homemade white bread made from the recipe on the back of the dried yeast packet - fantastic. A nice alternative to my usual lunch of Ryvita with low calorie onion and chive cottage cheese, which is getting a bit boring now.

  On holiday in Spain aged about 10, I invented a sandwich I modestly named 'Perfection'. Crusty bread, laughing cow cheese (the only cheese besides cheddar I would touch), tomato salad (with oil and a bit of onion) and a few ready salted crisps. This talk of crisps in sandwiches is making me want to resurrect my creation!

  I'm not really a sandwich person but I am partial to white crusty bread, with good ham, cucumber, tomato and lettuce but has to be freshly made and proper butter, no mayo goop for me!

  Sandwiches are my ambrosia! Home made or shop bought they are incredible... But £6 for lunch? where are you eating??? As a Veggy, if i buy them i'd always go for fresh! organic sandwiches (the Bugsy sandwich is excellent), try M&S or a Boots meal deal. Anyway I have to say I am a bit partial to a couple of veggy sausages between some slabs of wholemeal with a quick pour of HP... Yummy!!

  Oh, where to start....at it's basic level.... cheese and tomato is always a favourite. With leftover sausages with some onion marmalade is a close second. Then I can wax lyrical over Smoked Salmon, with or without cream cheese....and a modern classic....mozzarella, tomato and some freshly chopped basil....yummy!!

  My favourite is fresh, crusty bread, some butter and some good cheese - Blue, Brie, a good Cheddar - nectar. My "freak" favourite sandwich, is bread, butter & brown sauce (!!) :-) You also can't beat great sausages in a sandwich.!!

  One of my favourite sarnies is crunchy peanut butter and cooked beetroot (not the vinegary type) on granary bread. The mix of salt and sweet just works, try it.

  My fav as a student and I would definately still have it if i could get away with it..... Thick white bread, cheap coleslaw (the sharp stuff not the posh creamy variety) and cheesy wotsits! Heaven. Obviously the classic fish finger sandwhich, white bread and Tommy K is heaven in my hand.... (doesn't last long enough to make it to the plate) And if we are going for simple.... white bread, salt and vinegar crisps and salad cream, or brown bread, left over roast chicken, salad cream and rocket. Yummy yummy!!! My friend and I used to eat fried egg and wotsit sandwhich when we came home drunk at uni too.... never had that combination sober though!

  chickaarn - you have taken over from alfie as the maddest combo - marmite and banana - genius - you win! emily and shubun - I see a laughing cow cheese theme developing - I too 'heart' la vache qui rit - in fact when I went eurorailing for a month when I was dead young all we ate was laughing cow + baguette + beef tomatoes, available all over Europe. Cheap, tasty, and I lost a stone! (to be honest though that might have been the mystery meat 'escalope' we had in Prague)
