I'm currently eating a beef sandwich, with lettace, horseradish sauce and English mustard mayonaisse. Is it just me, or are there some really frustrated chefs working in the sandwich-making business. Does anyone else get annoyed that you can't buy a sandwich in a shop that isn't just one ingredient between two bits of bread?
Jesus Christ, it's got cress in it too.

There's a deli near my work that does the best beef, coarse mustard and balsamic rosated onion butty
So to anwer your question: no. And your sandwich sounds fucking delicious.
Tesco?
Ponced up sarnies, the debate in question, aren't too bad as long as they're not crammed full of different things so you can't taste anything. Beef and hoseradish or mustard is fine but you find beef, horseradish, mustard, onion chutney, tomatoe, lettuce, cucmber and fucking balsamic something or other and it's just a fuck up of overwhelming tastes.
And as for restaurants they drive me mad. All this faffing about making towers of crap on you plate and swirling sauces round to look pretty that you need to mop up with a slice of bread to get any taste of them. 'Presentation is everything' they say, bollocks, if it was you could sell cat food on toast and they'd still be coming back for more.
And menus. I know lets make it in French so it all sounds extra good 'la tarte de viande et pomme de terre avec frittes' meat and potato pie and chips ! Or why not put half the ingredients down as the name of it, 'poached cod and baby onions in a creamy white wine sauce with a mashed potato topping' yeah, fish pie.
And another thing, baby vegetables. Why ? They taste like crap because they have no discernable taste of their own because they haven't been allowed to grow but look nice n poncy on the plate.
And gravy, why do they smother your dinner in gravy ? If i wanted everything to look and taste the same i'd eat baby food.
And I hope you'd never pay for a piece of meat between bread kind of sandwich! Imagine the rip off that would be.
I'm like this.
I like the chicken mayo on white from hampsons at the mo - like mega addicted to it. I don't want lettuce and tomatoes and shit on it I just like chicken and mayo and bread.
I'm condemned to a life of egg and cress.
Yeah, I am not a fan of shit in my food.
'Cumberland sausage with organic tomarto sauce with a iceburg lettuce leaves' more likely to say 'Sausage sarnie with too much salad crap.'
then after all that its wrapped in some fancy, organic, home produced, 2 days old, farm house mature brown bread!
Can i just have plain white bread please?
Errr.... Nope!
Thing is, going by your logic here, I can go out for an expensive meal and then think 'Oh no, it's going to be eaten and forgotten soon, it was just a meal. What was the point?!'. A sandwich can hit sooooo many levels of excellence. A meal in itself.
You gets what you orders/pays for. Most sandwiches with different (or poncy...) ingredients appeal to my tastebuds far more than just a cheese sandwich, for example. Parma ham, mozerella and sun-dried tomatoes on granary is one of my current favourites from a little italian joint round the corner from my office. I certainly wouldn't describe that to somebody as 'ham, cheese and tomato', or 'Ham and some other crap' as it sounds so plain, and wouldn't be descriptively accurate.
