My father just remembers the 1940s when you got Scottish Dunlop and proper pickle with big chunks (not the smooth abomination that Branston has become).
For years I thought he meant machine processed cheese that was so rubbery it tasted like tires, but it is actually a real cheese that has only recently come back into production!

My old man's first ever job was on Salford Docks. He is responisble for bringing such culinary delights into my repertoire.
Super Noodles are over 50p a pack! That's an expensive working class sandwich filling!
That's more middle class student food
no its not - this thread is....bonkers!!
Im 31 years old and although I love my poncey Pret a manger/ delice de france croissant, I LOVE fish finger sandwiches, mc donnells supernoodles, tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches, corned beef, and cheese and crisp sambos.
this morning i had egg on toast with salad cream
yesterday i had buttered toast with lemon curd
I do epicly fail in the fact that my bread is usually very good quality Irish brown,
BUT not always - todays was sainsburys own normal granary
I think most would agree that there is little in this world more satisfying than a quality doorstep bacon sandwich (ideally from St Johns Bread and Wine, in Bishopsgate, but dats poshness based on the working class classic (which is also delicious)

PIE BARM.
Are you from Wigan?
If the answer to the above question is no, you do not understand what a pie 'sarny' is.

Granary? It has to be white sliced, which has to stick to the roof of your mouth.

omg.. this thread has brought back some truly awful school packed lunch memories... liver sausage sandwiches.... fish paste sandwiches.... salad cream with iceberg lettuce....I could never get anyone to swap lunch with me. 
my mum still loves her salad cream and iceberg - mayonnaise is for guests. Oil and vinegar is for restaurants and when I visit for lunch. I do still love my sandwich spread though... gaijinboy hurls when he sees me eat it but I do love it... (and ok... i do still like salad cream too)

The depths people are prepared to sink to to 'prove' they are working class. Working class sandwich! What's that - a sandwich that works in a factory or something? I suppose they like John Lennon: A working class sandwich is something to be!
Let's not forget that sandwiches were invented by the Earl of Sandwich. Was he working class? A working class earl is something to be!
And the middle class used to like their bread white because it's got no nutrition in it. You need food that is good for you? Common hoi poloi! That's also why they invented the cucumber sandwich. The bread must be paper-thin because under no circumstances may it filll you up - and cucumber has virtually no nutritional value at all>

Peanut butter and jelly whenever mom could get hold of it. Otherwise cucumber or tomato which made for soggy sandwiches.
