How Northern are you? Take the test....

Porridge butties with a sprinkling of demarara sugar.

pwned

That's just porridge with bread. cheat cheat cheat...

In between two pieces? It's a fecking sandwich!

If you poured a cup of coffee betwen two pieces of bread you wouldn't end up with a coffee sandwich though, you'd end up with some coffee and bits of soggy bread.

My porridge is more viscous than jam in so far as I can stand a spoon up in it. Perfectly acceptable as a butty filling you argumentative tw*t.

Argumentative? Moi? just discussing the finer points of Northern life 'sall.

Which are the best crisps for a crisp butty? I'm going for Salt & Vinegar (I still have them occasionally but don't tell my wife).

[Prufrock]

Green Pringles. Can also add Camembert if you're feeling posh.

[Bruce Rioja]

Seabrooke's Canadian Ham on white.

^ technical note.
Open bag of crisps
Pour in peanuts to correct density
Bash bag until crisps broken up to a more uniform size (approx 0.5 x 0.5 cm tessera)
Pour out crisp-nut mixture onto sandwich.

Pringles? PRINGLES? On a butty?

You're a disgrace son.

You could have had Squares, Hula Hoops, I would have even accepted Walkers but oh no you had to act the big man.

You've just nulified every opinion you've had.

I bet you preferred Coe to Ovett too didn't you?

Pringles, gertcha!

There's only one acceptable crisp. Ready salted plain. You can have the rest.

I've always said there's an art to making a good butty. It's fine making emmenthal and rose foccacias and the such but if you can't make a good bacon butty then we have nothing more to say.

When I first moved up here I went in the local cafe and asked ror a bacon and cheese on toast with brown sauce.

The bacon was fine but the rest? The cheese was just grated and plonked on top, the toast was anaemic but worst of all it was cut into trianges.



You come in here, banging on about your sandwich making skills, only to tell us that you put cheese on your bacon butties? You're a disgrace man. A disgrace. D'you hear?

I admit Coffey, I did wonder.

You've never had bacon and cheese on toast? Idiots.

Toast yer toast, bacon on, cheese on, under the grill - kaboom.

Kids these days no nowt.

Even McDonalds put cheese on their breakfast stodge.

Even McDonalds.

[Bruce Rioja]

A toasted bacon sandwich with melted cheese really is a delight. I usually add a little mustard - English or Dijon.

Which reminds me. Steven Gerrard was once asked at the end of an interview for his favourite cheese. I can't remember what the show was but they used to ask everyone this question. After some deliberation, Gerrard's answer was "Errrrrrrrrrr........ melted".

I think that is enough reason my me not to try it.

[bobo the clown]

I see no reason to adulterate bacon on a sandwich. No reason at all.

On a toastie is another matter, but on a sandwich ... just leave it alone.

Bacon on white bread is one of the proofs of God's existance.

Can we not just have a pasty barm and be done with . Oh and LLS you are betraying your roots by saying Ho*Is.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

There's nowt wrong with Hovis.

[coffeymagic]

There's nowt wrong with Hovis.

Can I just double check that every time anyone sees or hears the word Hovis they go 'E were a great baker were granddad...'

I do.

Younger viewers may have to ask an adult for help.

And I NEVER said 'bacon and cheese' on a 'sandwich' I have always said toast. I don't even need to look back at my OP to know I never said b+c on bread.

I hear the New World Symphony and a visualuse a very steep, cobbled street and a boy on a bike.


(Strange that the quintessential Northern cobbled street is in Wiltshire but there you go).
