Bud the Baker Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Being from The Grauniad some of them are a bit poncey. - destined for Psueds Corner in Private Eye... https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/oct/26/the-20-best-sandwich-recipes Quote Buttermilk chicken, scotch bonnet jam, pickled cabbage and crispy shallots by James Cochran Fish finger sandwich with Nordic dill salsa by Signe Johansen Out of those listed my fave is Ham sandwich in a French bar by David Tanis but with a lot less butter. My main criticism of most of the sandwiches listed is the time, preparation & don't forget the washing up for what is supposed to be a quick easy to make snack. My favourite sandwich is corned beef plus too much beetroot, the latter just to see the colour of my pee the next day!

Eric Arthur Blair Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Club sandwich...Bottom is buttered bread, salt n vinegar crisps (flavoursome ones like McCoys or Squares). Middle, buttered bread, cheese, sliced pickled onions. Top buttered bread. A bit of a heartburn sandwich but a once-in-a-while taste sensation.

Bud the Baker Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 When I worked in Food Research, a thousand years ago, a company phoned up to enquire why the the bacon in their bacon&egg sandwiches was losing it's colour - after a series of phone calls between the egg supplier, sandwich maker & me it turned out that the supplier had recently increased the salt content of the brine the eggs (hard boiled) were transported in.

Butter is not that far different from Margerine in water content, I used to work in Oils & Fats (not a euphemism) - both 15-20% water IIRC. A true Scot would use Ghee - Happy Diwali. 🤲 🪔 Edited November 12, 2020 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, looking at the ingredients after reading BtB's post, I'm gobsmacked to note that it contains as Prime ingredient - Water! No mention in what proportion the water is....but if you read the other ingredients which add up to 42%, you can swiftly come to a 58% conclusion... Saddening - an expected unhealthy snack has been transformed into a long wet drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the use of emulsifiers (and water) as a low calorie fat alternative is a complicated issue, many such as lecithin are naturally occurring in plants, others are artificial combinations of fatty acids Funny story from the last millennium is Olestra which was patented in the US to make low calorie crisps (Pringles) amongst other things however Americans started to pig out so much that they began suffering from "lose stools" as well as actually gaining weight in some cases - amazingly enough a quick fact-check (wiki) shows Proctor & Gamble still have a license to sell it in the US. That's BigFood 4ya - no doubt we'll be having Olestra with our chlorinated chicken next year once Boris folds over the Internal Markets Bill.

Tut-tut, they aren't allowed to call Pringles crisps as there isn't enough potato content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they? https://metro.co.uk/2016/10/26/stop-everything-pringles-are-a-biscuit-not-a-crisp-6216352/ Quote So which is it? Are Pringles currently now a biscuit or a crisp? Pringles are now owned by Kellogg’s after the company bought the product in 2012. Kellogg’s have confirmed to Metro.co.uk that the 2009 ruling still stands and Pringles are currently a potato chip or crisp subject to VAT. It isn’t the first high profile attempt by a company to avoid VAT either. McVitie’s biscuits successfully argued that Jaffa Cakes are a (tax free) cake It certainly seems a contentious issue, with other sites citing that the product does not meet requirements due to potato content and shape...
