Okay I am virtually making turkey, gammon, stuffing, chipolata and roast potato sandwiches, with lots and lots of cranberry sauce. Who wants?

All that in a sandwich seems a bit intimidating, but I'll try anything once.

Maybe it's a Chinese thing, like how they celebrate New Year at the wrong time!

Bit too early for that. And a bit too much for a sandwich for my taste.

In my estimation a sandwich isn't a sandwich without at least a good inch and a half of filling I tend to dislike pre packaged sandwiches (especially on brown bread) cos they are dry, stale seeming and very poorly filled. Freshly made or home made is much better.

There is such a thing as too much filling, though. Or at least then I would need to be by myself when I eat it because it would be too messy. Maybe it depends on the filling as well. This is the kind of sandwich kids used to have when I was going to school: extremely boring which is probably why we often didn't like eating it and oftne brought it back home. In 12th grade, when I was having long school days, my mother insisted on giving me 4 or 5 of these which, I am ashamed to say, often ended up in the rubbish because if I had brought them back home, I would have had to eat them there. Not sure how it's done in German schools today, but I have decided that if I ever have kids, they will get something more interesting.

See what that sandwich needs is juicy tomatoes, sliced raw onion, jalapenos, lots of mayo, lettuce and cucumber, a gherkin or two and a slice or three of decent quality ham.
Also, brown bread is horrible

I think I agree with you, Jo.

I agree with Jo on the filling but not on the blanket rejection of brown bread. Some brown bread is gorgeous. I buy a loaf from our local Greenhalghs bread shop that has a low glycemic index - it converts carbohydrates to sugars slowly - and is filled with finely chopped seeds. It is extremely tasty and I would recommend it to anyone.

Wrong forum.
This thread needs to be in that 'Temporary Christmas Bored'.
But, I do have to ask, tangent....How does one pronounce 'Greenhalghs'?

Back to bread - I tend to find brown very very dry. Some white can be dry too, especially the cheaper stuff (though unfortunately that's usually what I end up with cos there can be nearly a quid's difference between a loaf of Aldi's own - which is not bad - and a 'superior' white loaf) but it's better than brown, especially in prepackaged sandwiches.

OOoo...maybe that whole forum.
Naaaah.
That would be far too fortuitous.
Besides, I was just being snarky, anyway.

Really? You prefer white bread? I'm presuming that you are talking about what I call 'balloon bread', light, white, sliced bread, usually associated with making toast? I think if you say 'Wonder Bread' to most Americans, they'd conjure an immediate image. I grew up with that stuff. I always thought that its interesting feature was the curious ability to ball it up in to gummy little edible missiles. As a young adult, I was introduced to homemade 'Surviva' bread, a wholewheat bread with extra bran and sunflower seeds. Substantial stuff; called 'Surviva' because one could reputedly live on it and water. It was good, largely because I got it right out of the oven. I have long since backslid to purchasing loaves of sliced bread at the grocery. That means I sought out a whole wheat with high fiber that didn't have too many additives. At a good price was a bonus. There's lots of that kind of bread available here....real 'premium brand' stuff...but I settled on a discount line from the local grocery chain. It's cheap. It toasts well, makes decent sandwiches, is not too dry, nor too heavy, but is very nutritious and reasonably flavorful. And it freezes well.
