an innocuous thread for those that want to partake in 'a piece', as the sanga is called in Scotland. Surely, no biffo about this underrated between meal snack?
'Bread and water can easily be toast and tea' - true wisdom. But HOW GOOD is a good sandwich? And how cool is the guy that whips out a sandwich for smoko, chewing with disinterest, while a colleague microwaves last night's korma?

Daughter made me a bagel with cream cheese and salmon. I have to say, I don’t get the bagel thing. Heavy, doughy and bland…could just be Aussie bagels are just poorly made? Friend reckons they are the best thing about New York.

Most Aussie Bagels are crap RK but when you get a great one yummy. Baguettes also come to mind. Anyway the one ingredient that can make or break a sandwich is the..... bread. The best fillings in the world just don’t taste as good as they should if the bread isn’t right. Conversely, even so-so fillings are elevated by really good bread.

I'd respectfully disagree there Seaslug- nothing beats a sanga on plain old fresh white bread.

Hey BaseSix…. you requested the details of The Chrissy Leftover Sandwich and they are such…..

pieces of chateaubriand roast, green beans, mashed potatoes with bearnaise sauce drizzled on sourdough baguette.

Potatoes reheated with butter.
Meat and green beans sautéed on high heat for two minutes in garlic/butter/rosemary.
Bread lightly toasted.
Bearnaise sauce slowly reheated on stovetop.
Partly hollowed out sourdough baguette lightly toasted.

Excellent, wax24!
Hearty and indulgent - and you learned me something ; )

(I had to look up chateaubriand.. the centre or thicker, more flavorsome end of tenderloin/eye fillet, where fillet steak is the narrower, slightly more tender but less flavorsome end. Bigger cut, serves more than 1, named after an 1800s poet who liked it)

Yeah Base, if you cut up a chateaubriand into steaks, you’d get a filet mignon. Expensive cut, but my sis is doin well (her place, her dinner), and i won’t complain,
She set me up nice with the leftovers.
Wintertime here so food gets more hearty.
I didn’t know about the French poet, so i looked him up, so you, in turn, learned me something, too.
Seems like he was Opti’s kinda guy.

I hope you cook that steak blue?
Steak sangas with good quality meat don’t need much added. Bread, butter, salt and steak is all that is needed.

Roady……. for that sammie it was pretty clean. Just the butter, garlic, rosemary profile that woulda been present with the green beans anyways. I have some more of the meat for more sammies, but those, i’m thinkin, will be prepared as you prescribe, but with sweet peppers, onions, and cheese melted over top. Dunno what kinda cheese, but pepper jack springs to mind…

first time in years, I got a whopper jr the other day from hungry jacks (weird story there, @wax, regarding our Aus burger king franchise).. I found it to be quite tasty. Got three of their southern tenders. Found them to be mingin' and absolutely inedible.

My memory must be wrong. Must have been in 80’s in Radelaide I asked the parents why is it Hungry Jacks here.
Didn’t matter. We’d never eaten maccas or b king or jacks in our young lives. I must have been 11.

mentioned it before, my kids knew the golden arches as a big bum. The 'toilet shop' we called it, cos it provided a pretty good dunny on travels, we all agreed it was gross that people eat in there.
