Life, and this forum especially, is full of uncertainty, for example, who is the mysterious awilliams100? The question on everybody's lips now though has to be this one: what is your favorite sandwich filling?

I know who awilliams100 is, but I'm not telling! Why not send him a PM and ask him to pipe up, SS? He doesn't bite (as far as I know).

Tuna, lettuce, cucumber and salad cream on white bread for me every time, baby! (well, quite a lot of the time.)

I'm a bit of a spartan when it comes to sandwich filling, preferring just the main ingredient, be it ham or chicken normally on margerine. I might yet change my ways though. Once in a blue moon I'll have marmite, or cheese, or tuna. I used to have peanut butter, but it's a little too sweet for my taste.

At work, someone's wife works for a company who taste test sandwiches, which means every couple of weeks we get to try out, a sort of blind test on different makes of sandwich, which is all quite nice for free!

Cheese with onion (not pickeled though) or strawberry jam or lettuce and mayo. Cheese with anything really. I'd die if I couldn't eat cheese.

Cheese with strawberry jam is my absolute favourite, but the occasional cheese and pickled onion is lovely! In summer I like a salad butty with salad cream. The other one I favour is bacon on white bread. *drool*

Oh cripes yeah. I'd forgotten all about that one. A bacon sandwich takes some beating! (not literally!)

i don't have one favourite - cos then i have it a lot and get sick of it pretty darn quick. so i have more of a carousel of favoured sandwich fillings, such as tuna mayo, cheese 'n' onion, cheese 'n' pickle, ham 'n' pickle, bacon. salad bits optional, depending on availability (in the fridge, i'm not an eat-local-produce nazi)! recently i dabbled in houmous, but it's not been added to the roster...

I've got a few, but they are all quite boring, Salmon and Dill Mayonaise, Prawn and Mayonaise and Tuna and Sweetcorn. Boring I know!!ha.ha.

Before I became semi-vegitarian I also used to like coronation chicken.

aww. couldn't a semi-vegetarian make room for a little coronation chicken now and then?

I do like a fried egg butty on occation.

I used to like a bacon butty but I'm becoming more and more uncomfortable at the thought of eating dead animals and don't eat bread very often, so, I savour the bread for my melted cheese.

I wonder if our own Toaster prefers toasted sandwhiches or normal ones?

I've recently taken to enjoying chicken and bacon sandwhiches with some mayonaise and sweetcorn if there is any available!

I have a new variation on a chicken and mayonnaise sandwich to recommend:

Chicken, mayo and mango chutney all mixed up together...delicious

Ohhh isn't that just yummy. I get mine from Greggs occationally. I say occationally because they're always sold out (like on Friday ) so it's been a while since I had one. They put a bit of salad on too.

There are only two things I like from Greggs, the chicken and mango mayo on thick white bread and their quiche. I'm unlucky because they most often have neither.

I don't want to worry you or anything, but I suspect Subway may well be some evil imperialistic organization hellbent on colonising the world. Examine the facts: most people in the UK had never even heard of them before about 2006 yet now their shops are popping up everywhere, like weeds between the cracks of a poorly-conceived patio, and lulling people into a false sense of security with their two-for-one bap deals, disinterested staff and slightly nauseating green and yellow shop fronts. They also put special mind-controllling drugs in the mayonaisse. Well, no, they don't actually. Or is that just the mind-controlling drugs making me deny that?! Anyway, it's a conspiracy I tell you!! The only ones who can possibly stop them now are the plucky-yet-limited Greggs - ie the forces for good - but that's slightly akin to trying to stop a cannonball with a tennis racket. Basically, we're all dooooooomed!!

Ditto this Friday. Looks like I'll have to start making my own. We have the Mayo. We have the mango chutney. We can build one Forgot the chicken! Maybe not

I had my first subway 12 inch in New Orleans in 1995! It was fabulous and lasted the whole day (bought it at 9am before the Mardi Gras parade ) It was a hot roast meat with onions and other things I can't remember but it was fantastic and was huge! I cut it into 8 sections and it was as good as it became cold as it was hot. Not had a sandwich like it since, sadly.

I was quite excited when Subway made it to the UK, but, I'm sorry to say it's not a patch on US Subs Actually, none of the Fast food joints are. I even frequented Mac Donalds in the US and had a cheese burger actually containing meat and cheese, not cardboard and plastic, plus, if you have a coffee with your burger, they keep refilling your cup until you beg them to stop! I can see why it's beneficial to eat out in the US.

Could start another thread here 'Whats the best fast food you've had' or words to that effect

I love Greggs thick white bread doorstep sandwiches. I usually share one with my friend if they have a Chicken/ Mango/Mayo. Otherwise she has a hot sausage roll and I have a quiche. More often lately I have zilch.
