    I'm sufficiently selfish that I don't want to give up something I really enjoy, but if there's meat that doesn't involve dead animals and massive carbon emissions, then that sounds fucking brilliant.
    At the risk of returning to several pages previous, I can't disagree with this—lab-grown meat will be a reality in the near future.

    I just wonder what will happen to domesticated livestock. I guess we'll have to pay to take our kids to look at them in farms, or they'll have to live in zoos. They won't be much use in the wild. The population of cows, pigs and sheep will shrink to tens of thousands.

      Yes, a bit unfair of me to pull that up. A good rarebit can include ale, Worcestershire sauce, goodness-knows-what - but sure, that wasn't the point...

        I ordered a breakfast stack (a breakfast roll with too much stuff inside) in a Marston's pub yesterday and it came on a wooden board, how pretentious of them.

          Didn't enter the equation in our house til I was about 11. Though in our house buttered bread would be served with most meals, so I probably ate the burger on its own and then piled the chips into the bread.

            If the filling is hot, then it is not a sandwich.

              What is it about this question that brings out individuals' inner insanity?

                I thought I ate a fishfinger sandwich last week. I wonder what it really was?

                  What's a carvery sandwich then, if it's not a sandwich?

                      Leftover meatloaf / meatball sandwich is, of course, amazing; either hot or cold. In fact, maybe just cold.

                        A sandwich you get from a carvery, ie a place that roasts meat and carves off slices fresh to put in sandwiches. Hence, a sandwich with a hot filling.

                        Also, bacon and egg sandwiches are usually hot too.

                          And those cold bacon sandwiches. Yep, those are all the rage in our local cafes.

                            I don’t understand this at all. What is bacon and fried egg between two slices of untoasted buttered bread called? (Apart from heaven)

                              Untoasted? What the matter with you?

                              Comment


                                Well, obvs toasted is superior. Was just giving an example of the madness of Bryan’s definition. He’d probably argue toast isn’t a component of a sandwich as well.

                                      We're not in the camp for irredeemable loonies who think bacon sandwiches should have toasted bread?

                                        Wood has grain. Smooth slate I can understand (but would far rather see it on gaffs than my table), but surely little particles of gunk and germs gather in the grooves. Earthenware developed for a reason, isn’t the whole wooden board thing unhygienic if not unsafe?

                                          Nah, that’s a toasted bacon sandwich. Different taste experience altogether. Nowt wrong with it either.

                                            No. A toasted bacon sandwich is a bacon sandwich that's been toasted. A sandwich MADE WITH TOAST is a whole different kettle of ball games.

                                              Fuckin minefield, this.

                                                Agreed. Cheese on toast, is absolutely different from toasted cheese/grilled cheese/whatever the fuck Americans do to theirs.

                                                  So how would you order bacon and eggs served on toasted bread? I’ve no problem seeing a toastie as something different in a Brevel/Foreman stylee, but are we then left with a sandwich of bacon and eggs toasted bread being called “bacon and eggs on toast” all unwieldy like? Then we are lacking a word.

                                                    Well there is such a thing as "bacon and eggs on toast", but it's not a sandwich.
