Full Version: Worlds second best sarnie
Community Forums - Expatica > Belgium > Eating & Drinking
Outside of a bacon buttie in a current teacake dipped in a pan of hot tomato juice and layered with HP sauce; What's the second best sarnie in the world?
ddet
Black bread with smoked ham.
sarfeest
Crusty bread, fried eggs, HP sauce.
Mmmmmmmm.

I dreamt I smelt a bacon buttie last night, can't wait to go home and pig out (on a piece of pig ! boom boom)

That would have to be a cheese and onion sarnie - unsliced floury white bread, salted butter, mature cheddar, red onions, maybe some Branston - in a wedge the approximate thickness of your forearm, so that it's necessary to risk dislocation in order to get that first bite in.......

What's a sarnie? Sounds like a sandwich.
Camilla
Brewer, yours sounds the most appealing to me so far!

Mine is: Soft, thickly sliced, freshly baked tijgerbrood, lashings of French mustard or wholegrain mustard, and a thick slice of cold roast beef with a bit of fat around the outside. YUM.

And a cola light to wash it down with.

ps yep DB, sarnie = sandwich

Had a great sandwich in Montreal on hols...

- Sesame seed Montreal Bagel (they're different from NY or Cracow bagels... doughier and chewier, yet somehow lighter, baked in a maple-wood oven)
- Some kind of lightly glazed smoked steak, very thinly sliced and folded in ripples across the bagel
- Mixed leaf salad
- Sliced swiss cheese
- Pickled gherkin, watercress, marinated peppers, toasted almonds and sun-dried tomatoes on top

Wow.

In Belgium
- The basic BLT from 't Vluggetje' in Leuven (this is a typically Belgian open sandwich shop yet is run by Brits)
-- next to the Holiday Inn/Thai Supermarket/Pauscollege
- The 'Kip Curry Banaan' on a 'meergranen stokbrood' from Sari Sari in Lier -- a 2 minute walk from the Grote Markt
- The 'Witlooof/Bieslook/Walnootsla' plus mozzarella and honey on ciabatta from 't Vorkske' in Leuven -- Parijsstraat

... still yet to find a truly recommendable sandwich joint in Bru and Antwerp (the best I've found being the 'Tussendoortje' in Antwerp, yet only 'Le Pain Qutidien/Het Dagelijks Brood' in Bru)

I'm not sure about Pain Quot - it's something of an institution for those of a certain age. As a plus, it's how Starbucks really ought to be ~ as a minus it's still actually not that good. Oh and the coffee sucks. But hey that's not important when you've got nice big communal tables.
