I really like the stuff like that shown in the sammich pic. And they had scads of it in the Windemere market, so I assume it is readily available throughout Cumbria. It toasts up real nice, too. I wish my sandwich bread had that much grain in the body of the bread; it's closer to balloon bread than that.

Beetroot is an abomination.
Wholegrain bread, however: yum.

It seems so weird to see people calling them beetroot. For many years, I only heard them called beets. I like them roasted or steamed, but not pickled! I like grainy bread too --the seedier the better! But, alas, I'm doing low carb at the moment, so no bread for me. Hold the bread and pass the seeds.

I like pickled beetroot .. not sure I've ever had it in any other form. It dyes everything it touches bright purple though

Yes...Until I started conversing on a frequent basis with Brits, I just called them beets. Of course, it does make a bit of sense if you know that beet tops are a superb green and thus, distinguishing between root and top is functionally helpful. But then, with us it was just beets (meaning beetroots), or beet greens (usually steamed). I eat them all, roasted or steamed, but still prefer the cooked beetroots which are then pickled.

It dyes everything it touches bright purple though And woe unto ye the next morning if you forgot that you'd consumed significant quantities of beetroot the night before. It will induce a transient terror of incipient impending bladder/kidney failure....until you remember the beets, and know that it is NOT blood in your urine.

Beetroot is an abomination. Hmmm...Finnization? An anti-borscht response? Or, something deeper and older?

I saw Sheldon say that about beetroots once but .. I must admit, I don't look down the toilet

There's a whole thread, at a certain other forum that some of us know, entitled "I Pooped Beet Juice!"

I didn't know that! I'll have to check my pee post beetroot next time.
Also, JoeP - you make the most terrible Australian. Where's the coconut and beetroot love?

I love beetroot, but like Jo, I don't think I have had any kind but the pickled ones, and even them never had one on a sandwich. But fab with meatballs and mash.
I also like coconut.
I might have made a good convict. Except for the spider thing.

I don't have any ancestors in South Africa. My daughter does. But not me.

Are we still discussing sandwiches? I just had a garlic sausage and cottage cheese one. Which makes me a very bad vegetarian, but it was nice.

SANDWICHES!
garlic sausage and cottage cheese was great. Only thing would've made it better is tabasco

In morse code, the letter P is described as the perfect sandwich.

I grew up on bologna sandwiches and the occasional fluffernutter. Later I added in scrambled egg sandwiches. Nowadays, I'll have either roast chicken, turkey, or ham. But I really enjoy a good grilled cheese. The community college I attended when I went back to school some years ago had a 3-cheese GC on Texas toast. That was outstanding! The diner down the street makes a nice grilled chicken breast sandwich that I often get when I don't know what else to have. Sometimes I'll also have their patty melt. I don't mind a good turkey club and have come to enjoy chicken salad, which we sometimes make at home. I don't go crazy on the bread typically, either white, wheat, sourdough, or rye.

I only like scrambled egg if it's on buttered white toast .. can't get into it on just bread, for some reason.

Brown toast for me. But scrambled egg on plain bread? Eww no.

Brown toast is nasty. It's weird, I can eat egg mayo which is not THAT different from scrambled egg but scrambled definitely needs warm bread

The difference between cold bread and toast bears a striking resemblance to the difference between cold egg and scrambled egg. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

I like egg salad sandwiches on cold bread. Cold egg... cold bread... works for me.
That being said, this morning I had scrambled eggs with lox on a cold olive ciabatta.

Lox is smoked salmon isn't it? That sounds great if so
