I once stayed in a hotel in Tijuana whose restaurant listed dishes "with sauce come white". I ate something different.

If dinner includes mashed potatoes, I always leave some so I can have a mashed potato sandwich.

Nice piece of buttered bread, thick layer of mash, salt & black pepper. Yum!

My wife, daughters & granddaughter all think I'm weird.

Is it just me then?

you are gonna die a slow death fatman

Peanut butter & banana, sometimes with raspberry jam too.

[Huge]

Nope.

Elvis loved fried peanut butter & banana sandwiches.

Probably not, a Liverpudlian delicacy was (is?) the "Connyonny butty". Take two slices of cheap white bread, cover both liberally with margarine (not butter). Over each margarine coated slice sprinkle a tablespoon full of sugar. Over each sugared slice spread a tablespoon or two of condensed milk. Put slices together and eat.

Cheese and beetroot butties

Ah, a fine example!

Chip _Sandwich_! Well, that's where your missus is going wrong. Everyone knows it should be a Chip Butty. As the character, Marlon (or perhaps it was Wellington?), in "The Perishers" cartoon strip once observed,

"Butties taste so much better than Sandwiches. I reckon it's cutting the bread that makes them lose their flavour." (unfortunately I can only praphrase here - ISTR that our 'hero' was warning Maisie off cutting the bread, explaining that the slice of bread should only be folded into a butty lest it lose its flavour by being cut)

There's a certain element of truth to this seemingly unfounded theory of Marlon (or Wellington). Chip butties are regarded by many as a tasty delicacy. I doubt this would hold true for chip sandwiches though (certainly not for myself at any rate - a chip 'sandwich' just seems "So Wrong"(tm)).

Now, they're something else again (chip _butties, that is!) :-)

Thank you very much for the clarification. :-)

My response to anyone banging on about keeping fit and eating healthily is: "Eat well, keep fit, die anyway.".

Clutch at chest, mumble incomprehensibly through toothless mouth and slump to floor with fatal heart attack.

[GB]

That's pretty FATuous.

[Peter Keller]

Happily.

What you do at weekends is up to you.

Davey put finger to keyboard:

At a restaurant in Austria they had a dish that consisted of meat and vegetables roasted on a skewer.

The English translation was "Gypsy spit".
