Other favourite sandwiches at home:
Hummus and Chicken:
A layer of hummus on homemade wholemeal bread, chicken (simple grilled chicken, garlic chicken, left ovewr roasted chicken....) some rocket leaves and a good turn of black pepper.
Tuna Open Sandwiches:
1 slice of toasted bread topped with our own Tuna Savoury (tuna, red onions, peppers, tomato, a splash of tabasco sauce,plent of black pepper and a small spoonful of mayo), and some simple salad.
Cheese Toasties:
Homemade wholemeal bread, dijon mustard, mature cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onions, worcestershire sauce all shoved into the sandwich toaster- or if you haven't got one, I found a dry pan on a low heat will do a great job, so long as you keep a closse eye and remember to turn the sandwich.
Although I work very close to home, there are days when getting home for lunch just isn't going to happen, and on those days I tend to visit the sandwich shop next door to our office. Even in a town full of competing cafes and take-aways, it always surprises me how limited/safe/boring the filling choices can be. I like garlic. And pickles. And Chutneys. I can have egg mayo or ham salad any time. Although usually through necessity, if I'm buying a sandwich, sometimes, just sometimes it would be nice to see something that I couldn't or wouldn't make for myself, and it's this that I reckon gives the sandwich is bad name as boring.
A sandwich actually has endless potential, with the variety of bread available from supermarkets if you don't/can't make your own, and between those 2 yummy slices of ciabatta or seeded brown or walnut and onion bread, there really could be anything- meat, fish, spreads like hummus and tsatziki, extra flavours like harissa or chutney or pickle, left over grilled vegetables- peppers and courgettes are great with pesto or hummus, salad leaves- iceberg, rocket, spinach, little gem, romaine, cucumber, radishes, beetroot....
Do you have a favourite sandwich filling? If you are vegetarian, do you find sandwich shops/cafes limited with their options? I want to know!

I love sandwichessss.
Great post, that sandwich looks tasty. Some nice sandwich ideas there too, thanks.
Iceberg lettuce, onion, cucumber and tomatoes are a must for a good sandwich I believe.
I love coleslaw and sandwich pickles occasionally too.
One of my all time favourites is cheese and onion crisps on white buttered bread, yummy!
I love a good sandwich! I made a homemade rosemary and sea salt focaccia bread at the weekend and made a sandwich with leftover gammon, salad an mustard - it was yummy! x
Mmmm, sandwiches. I have quite childish taste really - I love chicken paste with sliced beef tomato. Oh and cold sausage sandwiches. Mmmmmm!
Buying them from shops is a pain though cos the choice of dairy free butties is dreadful. I usually end up going for a wrap but even then the choice is restricted as so many have cheese or sour cream in. I love the M&S hummus and butternut squash ones though.
