Cheese and onion roll

[Boris Sprinkler]

This pub is on our boycott list due to the way the owner ripped off the last landlord (a really nice young lad who was trying his best).
Something he does frequently. Accuses the manager of stealing a load of stock. And then sacks them.
The butties are not their product, but are sold in a lot of the pubs in the area. Never eaten one.
The sugar loaf charge about 6 quid a pint.
Whereas the Chelsea round the corner, charge about 4 quid a pint, play punk music, doesn’t encourage racists and aren’t cunts.

A sharp cheddar with blackcurrant is good.

You know what, I find this endlessly fascinating - most of the population of the North American continent is completely unfamiliar with the blackcurrant.
It's a non-native invasive species there that has the potential to bring with it a fungus that is a massive threat to both US and Canadian timber industries due to potential infection of white pine with fungus - meaning it was banned for ages in Canada, and I think still is in the US - so most people on that continent have never had an opportunity to eat blackcurrants or products made with them unless imported in a processed state. There is a bigger possibility that it may be more readily available in Canada than in the US because the ban was lifted there, but not many people cultivate the plant for commercial use.

I love Ribena and other blackcurrant cordials and preserves, and when I learned that information it absolutely blew my mind!

Never tomato though, in any kind of sandwich, ruins it.

I like tomato in a cheese toastie. Otherwise I don’t like wet things that will ruin my sandwich.

Except cheese and beetroot (non pickled) which is god like. But again made freshly and not sat in the beetroot juice.

I take the beetroot in a little pot to work and add it just before eating.

It's the best flavour of chesecake too.

Good call, love a blackcurrant topping on a cheesecake

I'd forgotten about toasties, that can work. Where you want the moisture. In a cold sarnie, as most tomatoes taste of nothing , they're just some slimy bread sogging thing.

My lunch, thanks to this thread. It was nicer than it looks.

French stick, grated medium cheddar, sliced red onion and ready salted walkers.

I did add some black pepper after the picture.

I love those crusty rolls you used to be able to get which were crusty on the top but they were kind of airy underneath the top but and had a doughy bottom. I haven't seen them around for ages. Everything seems to be sourdough or pappy baps now.

Tiger rolls can often be like that. The ones I get from Morrison's at least

We have a bakers who have a few shops on Teesside that still sell them buns.
