OT; Is it just me?

Mar 04, 2014 45 Replies

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?



Yup.

Dripping sandwiches I remember, but mashed spud ones, no.

Errmm....I think it might just be you...but now you mention it, it might weell be worth trying.

Can't help feeling the potato should be fried (a la bubble and squeak) and festooned in brown sauce for a true cordon bleu outcome though....

What a sophisticated palette you must have :-)

Chips and custard as well is it? I'm not sure about that. Brian

Well it's not me. I do not like potatoes.

You are getting there...

The bread should be toasted [1]. And only forms the base - a sort-of Danish sandwich version.

The mash should be fried - ideally in some fat that includes bacon sometime in its history. And it must be crowned with egg yolk, gently fried - nice and warm but still almost 100% runny. Or egg yolks...

Finish off with a good grind of black pepper.

[1] The right sort of crust could be used without toasting.

How fat are you now?

We eat diet potatoes....

doesn't really appeal to me - though i like cold mashed potatoe with some brown sauce mixed in.

We a;lways do extra backed pots so we can cut up and saute for breakfast /lunch

Whatever turns you on. WIWAL my next-door neighbours were addicted to HP sauce sandwiches. My wife likes sugar sandwiches and my brother mashes a banana with condensed milk on brown bread. I love black treacle sarnies myself.

My wife goes a bundle on chip sandwich, can't say it ever appealed to me!

Now you're talking. Chip butties. Yum. :-)

I like to dip a banana in the strawberry jam pot ... Simon.

(thats not a euphemism !) Simon.

Bugger - I should have read on a bit before replying :-)

I worked with a guy who liked black pudding dipped in yoghurt.
