cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
cheese and onion sangwiches,I just think they must be the most popular session food ever. I've seen them 4 times this weekend!
Everywhere I go the 'Fear an Tigh' or 'Bean' seem to provide them. I've had them at home (Ireland accompanied by Taytos; cheese and Onion crisps !! (chips for you lads over the pond)) I've also sampled French, Taiwanese, Gambian and Australian versions of this culinary delight.
tell me where you have come across them please, i think i'll do a thesis on this!
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Semantics? I'll give you semantics!
chips = English style hot fried potato cut into long thin sticks
french fries = the kind of American style chips served up by McDonald's. They have no potato in them and taste of salty cardboard
crisps = these are the things that come in sealed bags, e.g. Smith's, Pringles and the lovely Aussie brand "Red Rock" which are my favourites, especially the lime and black pepper flavour
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Your crisp, then, are our chips,while our french fries are your salty cardboard and no one makes, serves, or eats bangers an mash anymore.
So, is the term "crisp" a goovy hip term describing a classy yuppie food, for me here in Western Canada a semantic clue that reveals our hidden, denied class strcture? in other wirds...do we, as an xnglo dominent culture aspire to more Anglo ways, like calling thingd crisps?
so sorry to start this conversation dow cuz iahve bin told to SHUTDOWN
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Sobered up yet, Mark? We use the same words as you but it only seems to be a UK thing-but you're from England originally, aren't you?
I agree that you can't really call these things served up by McDonald's proper chips either. Yucch.
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
I never knew "crisp" was used for yuppie health food in Canada. I wonder if it's used like that in the States also. Being biased, I think the English system is the least confusing, because you don't say fish 'n' fries, you say fish 'n' chips, wherever you are in the world. I would think that "chips" is easier for foreigners to say than "crisps" though. BTW, talking about bangers and mash, by pure coincidence I'm having that for tea. Of course people still eat it!
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
cheese sandwiches, an important part of the diet, but much depends on the cheese, Red Leicester,with maionnaise, or real cheddar, from Cheddar, strong, with pickled onions. Do you use white or brown bread, or granary.?Double Gloucester either by itself or with chives is good, as is Wensleydale, but best is Stilton with oatcakes. Mackies are very good.

Worzel! I remember watching you on the telly when I was little. Have you retired now? I didn't know you had great taste in cheese as well as being the coolest scarecrow ever.
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
no retirement for the scarecrow, not even the one from Romney Marsh!Just moved field from the south west to the north west, but kept the cheese habit going. yours worzel

Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Pickled onions? Are they slices or diced? Is that a regular grocery store product (I've only seen the cocktail onions (like the ones in martinis)? Sounds yummy!
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
They are whole....
I wonder If they eat a packet of Salt and Vinegar crisps with a pickled egg dropped in it anywhere other than England. Just don't stick your head under the duvet next morning
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Session food is pants. Gig food is 100 times better. Hic. Speshly when it's Harold the Barrel's 60th - then you realise that you can cut a swathe through the complexities of nutritional science and re-write every diet program. Dead easy. Wanna know why? Simple. One hole is bigger than the other.
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Actually, an acquaintance of mine grows potatoes, some of which get sold to McDonalds for their fries. Idaho taters. They do fry them in a fat that's got beef flavoring in it, though.
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Speaking of which - gotta love the new McDonalds Salad bar idea...imagine - trying to pass it off as health food! And that chap who ate nothing but Maccas for a month and got heart palpetations and was told he could die if he didnt stop. Bizarre what some people will eat. Um - Ottery - your winding us up I hope...about the pickled egg (which sounds just disgusting all on its own never mind with salt and vinegar chips!)
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Gross!
Actually in Australia (may very well be the same around the rest of the world) If you are having Fish and Chips youre actually eating Shark. Disgusting! I only found out that 'flake' was actually shark when I was about 20...and after sooo many years of eating it turned me off it for life!
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
Shark's nice - tastes like chicken, if I remember rightly. Just don't head for Ecuador in your travels, bb, that is if you don't fancy Guinea pig - I found it quite nice, a bit like ......chicken, actually.
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
I bought shark steaks from an excellent local fish shop a few months ago. My girlfriend/partner wasn't that keen on the idea so I had to eat it all myself. It was tasty, although a bit chewy-maybe, that was my cooking though.

Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
It really annoys me how Aussies use the American term "chips" for "crisps", because it means they have to call real chips "hot chips".
# Posted on June 6th 2004 by Dr. Dow
Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
yah.waste of a whole breath of syllable = energy
chips = crisps in a factory sealed bag Lays,Old Dutch,Pringles, No Name Brand
french fries = chips, Englishstyle, as in Fish'nChips,madehot,wrapped in newspaper, very salty delicious......
crisps = hotty totty health food, as in BC Organic Apple Crisps
you go figure the semantics

Re: cheese and onion sangwiches, Mmm ! anything better?
I agree about it being a bit more difficult to say "crisps" - that means us Aussies have to pronouce our 'Rs'...unheard of

As so many session-trogs seem to smoke like chimmneys, I would expect the landlord to come round with free fags at half time rather than sandwiches.

"having bangers and mash for tea." I can only imagine how strange that must sound to anyone who grew up in North America.
Images of potato and bits of sausage floating around there along with the tea bag - mmmmmm!.
I'll have a rasher and some Marmite along with that.
