The Lidl near me (like, my closest shop apart from the dodgy corner shop where the kids on bikes that are drug couriers hang out) has stopped bothering to bag there bakery stuff, so no matter how nice the croissants are (and they are nice), I'm not going there. Edit - have my cat, sitting out in the rain, in the cat-house I got him  Renfield fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jul 11, 2020 |

this came up in the fast food forum regarding sandwich toppings (putting sweetcorn on a sandwich seems insane to americans) do you guys actually use "corn" to refer to wheat sometimes? is that a real thing

absolutely not, and sweetcorn shouldn't be near a sandwich we may use "corn" to refer to cereal crops growing in a field, so you might look at a bunch of wheat growing and go "huh, corn", but definitely not in the context of eating stuff

I get crazy looks when I say sweetcorn isn’t an unusual pizza topping back home too.

It's a shame because sweetcorn is really, really good on pizza. Also, Subway have a whole bin of sweetcorn so it is a canon sandwich filling. I don't make the rules.

I consider pizza with toppings that may have been natural at some point as healthy eating. You have sweetcorn and peppers on there that's a couple of your five a day.

the post in question was actually about subway, and it is extremely bizarre to americans that subway would ever offer corn as a sandwich topping. do people actually go to subway and order a sandwich and add corn on it like a normal topping? it's alien

TheAardvark posted:the post in question was actually about subway, and it is extremely bizarre to americans that subway would ever offer corn as a sandwich topping. oh right it's dell_zincht that said, tuna and sweetcorn is an actual filling, but having sweetcorn as sort of its own ingredient unbound by a substrate is odd. i think the USA doesn't have a "sandwich paste" culture - focusing more on deli meats etc - whereas post-war britain developed one to use up all the hoof squeezings, chicken scraps etc.

Chicken Salad is shredded chicken, mayo, celery, spices, maybe other vegetables, and we use it the same way. Tuna salad is the same thing but tuna. Mostly they get spread on toast or bread alone as a sandwich. Chicken and tuna are the only ones, though. The same thing with other meats is basically unheard of

Chicken and seafood salad are both great, similar enough to British sandwich spreads. I can’t complain about a lunch I can make in seconds.

Salmon paste is great and is basically viscous liquid tuna salad but with salmon.

Sunswipe posted:Just saw an advert for an app aimed at people who keep losing track of all their pension plans, and I think I'm ready to guillotine some bourgeois motherfuckers. If you move jobs a lot, you can end up with a whole bunch of tiny little pension pots, all being mismanaged in various ways and all having great big fees taken out of them. The solution is to have a SIPP and to insist that your pension is transferred into it every time you leave a job, so all your money's in the same place (if you're worried about managing investments yourself, don't be: you couldn't possibly be any worse than the actual 'professionals' who do this for a living). Don't know why you'd need an app, tho.

Hello I am long time lurker / occasional poster WeaklyInteracting and my gimmick is poorly executed culinary mashups. Sandwich filling chat: this is a Swedish sandwich cake made for midsummer with 100% British Ingredients.   It contains a layer of coronation  The Colin Caterpillar resemblance was accidental.  Fake edit: it was more or less edible, but even if I like mayo I couldn't eat that much of it before it became a health hazard. So I added 500g of spinach and made knödel (bread balls to cook in broth) out of it after the weekend and they tasted so much healthier.

Tuna salad is the same thing but tuna. a supermarket chicken salad sandwich here would usually be slices of chicken breast, tomato and lettuce with some mayo. a supermarket chicken and stuffing sandwich would be small chunks of chicken in mayo with stuffing put on top of that
