This is a more light hearted thread . Sandwiches are my favourite food and now, on a diet, I am trying to devise low fat and healthy sandwiches. One favourite is cottage cheese and chicken with a few drops of tabasco . When NOT on a diet I like roast lamb with roast potato - sounds weird but it really does taste good - and cheese and onion crisps with cottage cheese and chilli. Sausage and bacon is good too .. maybe with a fried egg!
So, favourite sandwiches anyone?
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

I had a Schlotzsky's deli veggie sandwich for lunch. Awesome! It's a chain deli place in the US. Not sure if it's made it's way elsewhere but I love it.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the forum members!
Some interesting combinations there Moose. I'm a bit traditional when it comes to sandwiches, I love chicken sandwiches and boiled egg ones for breakfast. For late night comfort eating you cant beat a good old ham and cheese toastie.
As a student in Birmingham we used to frequent a greasy spoon near the college which serveed all the usual fried breakfast ingredients on bread, delicious but you invariably exited the place smelling like a week old chip pan. The new breed of tortilla wrap sarnies are delicious too.

There's a place near me that does a great tortilla with feta and sundried tomatoes - verboten on my diet, alas.
Whenever I am in a town that has one, I get a sub. Expensive, but wonderful sandwiches.

If you like toasted sandwiches, tuna, mayonnaise and sweetcorn is nice. You can use low fat mayo if you're on a diet.
As regards non-toasted sandwiches, I'm quite partial to Parma ham and parmesan; Parma ham and mozzarella (has to be the real buffalo milk mozzarella though); mortadella and provolone cheese (you can get both of these from Italian delicatessens); egg, mayonnaise and chives; grilled bacon; mature cheddar and piccalilli; tuna, mayonnaise and cucumber; smoked salmon; tinned mackerel ... I could go on!
I've made myself hungry now. I think I'd better have some lunch

Arrgghhh! You have made my mouth water, Mollybob! And worst, I am fasting!!
This is a good idea for a topic, but perhaps it should be dropped until the end of Rammadan...
I was amazed to hear last year that Muslims in the UK spend more on food during Rammadan than during the rest of the year. Sounds like binge eating to me!
I think I didn't write clearly enough. It was on a week-by-week basis. Not that they ate more in 40 days than the rest of the 300+ days of the rest of the year!
Ah I didn't realise it was Ramadam .. my apologies . I guess how difficult that is depends very much on what time of year it falls? In high summer when there is very little darkness it must be terrible (what do Muslims in the Arctic circle do, if there are any? There is a period up there in high summer when the sun never sets at all ).

Never mind, Moose.
Now, it is very hot in my country (more than 35 degrees) and I guess it can be a bit hard. But thankfully Friday and Saturday are holidays so it was not hard for me.
I guess it will be a bit difficult on Sunday when I go to school!
Until now, I had decided to stay out of this topic because it made me hungry!!
I'm very much used to fasting, and I look forward to this time of the year very much. School days are not bad for me either - anything strenuous and I say "Miss! I'm fasting!"
I genuinely hadn't realised it was Ramadam and I feel rather bad now because we have a lot of Muslims here. Heh, I start talking about food whenever I am dieting is all ... tormenting myself
