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!)
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.
dafuq you talking about? that looks delicious

i don’t know what that means, is this something the young people say?
It’s a laxative from what I can see. What they meant by it I’m not sure, but their selling line is “no taste, no grit, no gas” so I think they were just saying you have no taste?
imma go back and upvote then, because that would have been kinda funny if I got the reference.
However, I am committed to my stance that cheddar and onion is a top tier flavor in the same league as bacon.
That onion is sliced so thick. Someone tell me this is somebody “taking the piss”, please
You’re worried about that? Looking at that much cheese gives me a hemhroid
Never heard of cheese curds? Take that same block of cheese from the sandwich chop it up batter it then deep fry it and you have a delicious socially acceptable appetizer. Hell, it would be a small portion size for that appetizer.
That’s not what cheese curds are and if that’s how they’re serving you cheese curds where you are I’m sorry.
Cheese curds are literally tiny little curds of cheese and should be kinda springy.
To be clear, I’m taking issue with the cut up bits of cheese part, not the battered and deep fried part
Ah, yeah. Ideally you get the natural curds. In a pinch you can just chop up blocks though. The best ones I’ve actually ever had were fried cubes in a small town dive bar.
There are far bigger food crimes out there than frying cubes of cheese and calling them cheese curds.
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 🙂
We need Norwegian ostehøvels. They give perfect cheese slices. Shame they’re so expensive to import.

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