ok i hate sandwichs. nothing worse for a meal. but i've come to crave packaged sandwiches over these past few days of eating some out of need to eat something cheap and having no kitchen to cook in. so WHAT IS IN THEM that makes them addictive? there must be something because i have no cravings to build a sandwich yet would happily eat a packaged one right now..

muggybonehead
:D
Please post nothing but
"Football" or "Muggybonehead" for the rest of the day :D
^ this ^
:D
.
Crack
Ahh.. The moreish crack.
Pret a Manger > M&S > Everything else
yeah man
i agree
but isn't pret owned by mcdonald's? kind of puts me off but still.. mmmm
McDonalds is yum too
Don't tell me you don't eat mcdonalds.
i don't eat mcdonalds
That thing which I can't remember the name of
But I can remember that it's CARCINOGENIC. You know, like sleep and water and stuff.
Sugar
and lots of it, and salt. Also, heroin.
sugar
salt and fat.
there's definitely something.
maybe just massive amounts of salt & loads of e-things. i read an article that said there's up to ten times the daily recommended salt levels in some packaged supermarket sandwiches, and even some of the healthier ones are the equivelent to eating twelve packets of crisps.
AH!
MUST QUIT ASAP
i probably should too
but a chicken & bacon sarnie is pretty much perfection.
i dont eat packaged sandwiches
for some reason the industry has something against people who dont eat butter or mayo.
i've seen some without
like hummous from pret for example
They don't do this one anymore
I wrote them a letter complaining as it's the only vegan sarnie they did and it was delish. My comments have been taken on board, blah, blah, blah...
aww :(
i didn't know that! ugh :( that was my always my vegan emergency food.
they still do the veggie sushi though!
Me too
You could always rely on Pret. I overdosed on their sushi one summer and can't stomach it anymore. Go on their website and write to them: we can start a campaign to bring it back!
yes, i will!!
they're made with love
d'you know what is muggybonehead - when the bread goes all flat and soggy
petrol garage ones
or
end-of-flight sandwich made with just carrots and butter :(
* note to self *
try this
salt
the worst is
those sandwich fillers you can get from supermarkets. i spent about six months addicted to coronation chicken and honey&mustard chicken sandwich fillers. bad times.
^ lost his house, car, wife & everything.
:(
i'm slowly pulling myself back up by my bootstraps alright
it's cause they're in triangles
it's like having an affair while your oblong sandwich is taking the kids to the park; you keep promising each time is the last.
But you can cut home-made sandwiches into triangles.
This makes no sense damnit!
whats not in them?
Have you read the hundreds of ingrediants in some of them?
How can anyone hate sandwiches?!
What a freak?!
I know someone who is repulsed by them
she describes it as a phobia which I think is excessive. I mean, fair enough if you don't like them, but they're not likely to take on a life of their own and eat you or anything like that.
I am fond of a pre-packaged chicken and bacon sarnie, I must say.
On a slightly theme
I know someone who has the same lunch literally every day of the working week. He has ham and mustard sandwiches (four slices of brown bread), Walker's salt and vinegar crisps, an apple, and a chocolate bar. He literally never deviates from this. He also buys the crisps in the mixed multipacks and never eats the other ones so has bags of them going spare. He refuses to buy the salt and vinegar miultipacks for some reason.
Also if he's eating grapes, he must have a certain amount, or a certain amount of slices of cucumber if he eats that. He also has days for different food in the evenings. Strange.
how often do you visit him?
