I prefer mayonnaise but Kerrygold butter also excellent if not too hard.

You've gone native Const""""yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

It's not - technically - a sandwich, but a steak and haggis pie in a buttered roll is f*cking gorgeous.

That was my Go-To (hate that expression) sandwich for years, but I think over the past couple of years the quality of the ingredients has gone right down. Such a pity, as I struggle with pre made sandwiches because of the dreaded cucumber.

If I could get Brennan's bread here I would be a happy man,

How do you get your mouth around a pie in a roll?

Seems to be a thing in Scotland to put a pie in a roll. Saw a macaroni cheese pie in a roll advertised. Carbs on carbs on carbs. Mmmmm

I got a giant breakfast sandwich at Sandwich Sandwich in Bristol which does doorstep, insta friendly fare and it was f*cking disgusting

Used to love a Benjys torpedo breakfast sub when working in central. Price was better than the quality

Try the shop at the London Irish centre in Camden

Squeezing it.

e.g. (pre-squeezing)

Coronation chicken. Lovely stuff.

I love coronation chicken. You can't get it over here, so I have to make it myself at home.

When I worked in london 20 years ago there were loads of great places to go to, but last time I was back all I could find was crappy chains.

Not been there, but heard Paul Rothe & Sons is the best in london.

Best in sydney is the Chilli chicken from Big Bite.

It's a roll on pie not a pie in a roll.

I haven't been there in ages but I thought the 'shop' at the Irish centre was a few packs of Tayto crisps, Kimberly biscuits and Barry's tea behind the bar. Not knocking Brennan's but I wouldn't make an effort to find it.

A plain crusty roll with a slice of cheese. I still miss Percy Ingles - their cheese rolls where solid enough to chuck through a jewellers window but inexplicably good.

Nothing on earth will ever beat this

French baguette, Normandy slightly salted butter, slices of Tomme De Pyrenees, vine ripened Tomato, Himalayan Pink salt (from a grinder) and black pepper (also from a grinder but a different one from the salt).

Other than the one above many sandwiches are over rated, except of course Subways Meat Marinara.
