Traditional Ham Sandwich


Is it unreasonable for be to expect at the very least a scraping of butter or margarine in what is advertised as a 'Traditional Ham Sandwich'?


I've just purchased one of these so-called 'Traditional' sandwiches for the sandwich lady and upon discovering that it consisted of bread and er.. ham and nothing else, took it back to have a moan telling her that it was not, as she had labelled it a 'Traditional Ham Sandwich' but rather a bit of ham between two slices of dry bread, which in my book is anthing but 'Traditional' when it comes to sandwiches (and also not very nice).


I think she was a little wary of me, because I took a 'Bacon Lettuce and Tomato' sandwich back last week which contained more mayonnaise than any other ingredient.  It was the only sandwich which did not mention mayo on the packet and I don't like mayonnaise!  Disliking mayonnaise is apparently unreasonable as well, as all sandwiches are made with mayo (except the 'Traditional Ham' ones, obviously).


I think I may have been uneccesarily narky because I have a cold and I'm in a bad mood, but I don't think I'm unreasonable for complaining about misrepresented goods...


Hmph.

A definition of a 'Traditional Ham Sandwich':


pertaining to time-honored orthodox doctrines of inserting or squeezing an unskilled actor who overacts tightly between two people or objects


No mention of any bu''er here DD

DD you are quite right and right to complain - stick it to em till it hurts -


You're the customer - you gave them your hard earned money and frankly it sounds to me like they are talking nads -


I re-stated my continually low opinion of the staff restaurant to the manager today due to no Nan bread being available for my chicken kurma and when one finally did turn up it was 4x4 inches and looked like a buiscuit. Its not on and I aint having it - simple as that........ numpties....

Hmmm, not too crazy about buttered sandwiches, unless it's on the outside prior to hitting the frying pan.

For me, a proper Ham sandwich includes Ham, light mayo and a few slices of processed cheese on wheat bread (lettuce is optional).



Now I'm hungry!! Grilled Ham & Cheese it is.

Processed cheese??? I'm sure you meant to type mature cheddar. 


Butter is good for you - we don't have light anything in our house - remove the natural fats and sugars from things and you have all kinds of dodgyness - I really worry about what they put in these things instead.


Danish butter on my sarnies please. 


The perfect ham sandwich has bread, butter and HAM.


However, the perfect ham and cheese sandwich should have bread, butter, ham and mature cheddar cheese.

Mature cheddar? Erm, no, far too potent for both:

1) Breakfast whilst hung over
2) Traditional ham sandwich

Good for crackers and polish on a Sunday afternoon though!

Don't get me wrong, I love butter. Anyone's who has seen me eat mashed potatoes or cook up a Kraft Dinner Casserole can attest this!

I just don't like butter on my sandwiches. Speaking of sandwiches, I'm having a Chipotle Steak & Provolone Cheese Hoagie with caramelized unions right now.

yuk.  I dislike mayo quite intensely.  Whilst I don't think that mayo on sandwiches should be banned - obviously there are people that like the stuff - but it would be nice to see one or two sandwichest in any given selection with NO BLOODY MAYO!!!!

Mayo is fine as an accompaniment - it's very good with tuna.  Butter should be the spread though.

When I said Light Mayo, I didn't mean diet Mayo or Miracle ****. I meant, ‘light on the Mayo,’ as in cover the bread, don't drown it!

Diet Mayo is a bit pointless innit - glad you use the full fat "Full on" mayo Nate - My illusions of you have not been shattered after all -


You are indeed a "Full leaded" American dude!
