With some violent mustard, this could be something to consider.

Hey now... simple sandwiches are awesome. I make tomato sandwiches all the time. It's just a thick slice of tomato (with salt and pepper) on toast with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and mayonnaise (Dukes, only ever Dukes). You can put bacon on it if you want to get fancy.

It's a nice and simple snack.

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

They're shipping Dukes further, unsure if they're now nationwide or not,but they're certainly shipping to stores near me and it's pretty damn good. Sort of between Kewpie and Helmanns/Best Foods

Obviously the shit-talking is pretty funny, but pull your head out of your arse if you think you're better than my sandwich

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 78 points 2 days ago (8 children)

That onion is sliced so thick. Someone tell me this is somebody “taking the piss”, please

EDIT: I got it wrong sorry. There was a post on Reddit with similar looking rolls from Bristol.


The photo was posted to Reddit at least a year ago, and was apparently from an English pub that wanted to sell 'real' pub snacks again. The roll cost something like £1.50, where most snacks like this go for around £5 or more.

There was a big discussion on the landlord's chopping skills, but he claimed that it was really popular 👍

On a side note, I'd really enjoy that roll, as long as it's got a bit of butter so it's not too dry 🙂

You sure? On the podcast he hosts he said that he bought this "cob" on his way to a match that happened just last weekend.

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My apologies, you are right. I found the original post, and it's a place in Bristol selling similar rolls. The Reddit link is here

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even more terrifying. It means multiple people in multiple places have decided that that's a reasonable thing to sell to people wanting to buy an edible sandwich.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I could fix this. Grill the onion in a little butter with some garlic salt and pepper, add some center cut bacon, go with either a mild cheddar or maybe a Colby jack, slice it thin and layer it through so it melts a bit and you've got yourself something.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

Raw onion can be good. An onion and cheese sandwich, while unusual, could be good. The issue isn't necessarily the ingredients, it's the ridiculous thickness of the block of cheese and the onion. Even a nice sweet onion would be rough if it's that thick, and that cheese is going to be tough to even bite through.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

Hopefully the price is still the same even though the time, effort and ingredients have gone up

You're worried about that? Looking at that much cheese gives me a hemhroid

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly the only issue I take there is that it’s not heated

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

A heated cold sandwich just isn't on mate.

I honestly think this could taste good with the cheese and bread so thick as well.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

It really is. I can’t speak for the OP cheese there as I’m a cheese wimp - but equal parts cheddar and onion is really good. Or excess onion.

That looks less like a big slice of cheese and more like a big slab of butter. Which makes me feel ill.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The default, in the UK, would be a medium mature cheddar. It's strong enough to taste cheesy, but not so strong that you can't eat a slab of it. A few other cheeses would also fit the bill, but they tend not to come in blocks. That is a slab cut from a block of cheese.

We don't normally cut it quite that thick, in a sandwich, but it's not so big as to off put most English. The raw onion would be a lot more divisive.

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

This is a very considerate response, thank you

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago

My bet would be this kind of "cheddar"

Anchor cheddar block

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The longer I look at it the less I can identify what kind of cheese it is, so you may be on to something

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that's a slab of bog standard NY cheddar. Something like this

It's barely aged so it isn't crumbly, but it's not bad. I'd actually eat that sandwich.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tim Stillman lives in England and was on his way to a football match in England, so it's probably not NY Cheddar.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Looks like he's in a pub, so probably whatever cheddar Brakes are knocking out these days.

Either way, there's too much of it.

Literally all you have to do is throw that whole thing into a pot with some beer and heat it for a while, then you have a pretty decent soup.

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 56 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That’s exactly what I’m doing, but I don’t normally call my stomach “a pot.”

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For goodness sake, it’s a cheese and onion roll, not a cob or a bap.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a cob round here. You can take your rolls down south where they belong.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

And since when did rolls have crusty crusts

[–] ProvableGecko@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Meanwhile Germans: Where is the raw minced pork?

I hear it's honestly really good

dafuq you talking about? that looks delicious

This was written by a restoralax executive

i don't know what that means, is this something the young people say?

Agreed. Cheese and onion? Sign me the fuck up.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm down with it in principle, but that's an awfully big chunk of raw onion.

[–] YungOnions@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

It's not a chunk. It's a challenge.

[–] Codandchips@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Amazing. That's my lunch sorted tomorrow

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Not enough Branston pickle, which to make up the ratio would require about half the jar I think. But then you'd have a perfect ploughmans lunch! (I'm not even a Brit, i just like a good peasant meal!)
