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?

hoping you share your 'Left Over Everything' chrissy creations @wax24.
Also, @freeride76, did you do your annual prawn thing, what with the mulloway bounty?

Had plenty of jewfish(mulloway) today and tomorrow(fed the immediate and extended family) - also been catching red claw crayfish in a local waterway so eating that as well as the prawns, and some fresh tailor.

To fill the space I will share what I wrote to someone this morning .

Buddha was asked by a religious nut and a crazed atheist if God existed ( saw it on utube last night ) lol

He gave them two opposite answers as wanted them to have an open mind :)

Religion should be experienced a lot more than thought about .

I might try and think like a Lion :)

Strange day lol

Ps I am not religious , yet :)

Can't beat a hot chip sanga on fresh bread with plenty of butter. Lived off them as a grommie. Heavy fuel to be sure but a bucks worth a chips , a loaf of bread and some butter could feed and fully fuel half a dozen of your mates 'back in the day'.

I love my sangas. I prefer in a smaller single baguette. Any cold meat with some good tomato chutney, it’s really good on a weekend to caramelise red onion and to top it off sweet gherkins sliced in half.

Now in Japan
7/11 has the best egg sangas ever known to mankind. And also in crazy Japan they love their fruit and whipped cream sangas
.which I still don’t get although my girls love them.

Basesix, maybe on SN we call ours “peace” sangas?

Ha ha! Warren Zevon is somewhere loving this thread.
Other than vegemite, i am hard pressed to think of a sammie that i won't eat and enjoy. Ham seems to be my classic. It can be dressed up in many ways. I love the egg salad too.
Here is a weirdo one i have eaten all my life..... White bread, peanut butter, mayo, and a dill pickle.
I have never once gotten anybody to try one, tho i have tried. I know it sounds gross, but, it works a treat.
@Base... i will let ya know what that Chrissie Sammie winds up being.

I’m a serial killer with my Vegemite. White bread and a shit tonne of butter. Add cheese sometimes too.
Another favourite this time of year is fresh carved slabs of leg ham, once again shit tonnes of butter and Dijon mustard. Ah the simple things in life

Yeah seeds, same... 'I don't always eat vegemite sangas, but when I do.'

'That peanut butter/mayo/pickle thing sounds like something only a pregnant woman would eat.
I'm assuming @#wax24 is also a fan of peanut butter and jelly, or jam is we like to call it.
Tried it once and spat the lot, not for me.

Many years ago I remember my mate's go to after-surf snack of choice was a Mars Bar and a can of Coke. Being a couple of years younger and still struggling against the dreaded pimple monster my go-to snack was the simple salad sandwich. $3 would buy a me lettuce, tomato, beetroot carrot and onion, with a touch of salt an pepper. Oh and not too much butter please. Apologies @seeds but too much butter ain't better :) I remember those sandwiches as clear as day, and very recently, coincidentally, I found a shop makes an exact replica for $8!
Otherwise, my go-to sanga is white bread with vegemite, no butter. Which for me is the lazy man's alternative when a salad sanga is simply in the too hard basket.

Bacon egg and caramelised onions with your choice of sauce. Caramelised onions lifts the ordinary.

if you like making nice food for your teen kids, what a relief when you remember this recipe, chuck it all in bowls with a fresh loaf next to it, and let em go for it.
