English Eating Habits: The Crisp Sandwich

My BF sometimes eats a crisp sandwich. It is really really gross, and tonight he made one for J. and one for himself, in the following manner:

  • butter 2 slices of wholemeal [thank god!] bread
  • add a mountain of crisps onto one slice
  • put loads of ketchup onto the crisps
  • put the other buttered slice of bread on top
  • EAT!!!

I find it so gross, and it’s so unhealthy. I could never get it down! I ate a bag of crisps myself tonight, which I don’t usually do as it tastes artificial and salty and leaves a bad after-taste.

Anyhow, the crisp sandwich is one thing that the English seem to love. Here’s a photo-story of someone making a crisp sandwich. Though this guy didn’t butter his bread, and he included cheese, and his bread is white (that’s even worse!).

  1. it does look rather unhealthy, but as long as one doesn’t indulge in it too often it’s okay to eat “gross” stuff once in a while. ;) as a kid, i used to eat cheese slices smeared with peanut butter. don’t ask me why, me mam made it!

  2. i don’t think i have tried a crisp sandwich, but not really like the sound of them.

    When i went to Primary School i used to love a banana sandwich. (of course) you had to have sugar on it just to cut all the health benfits out :-)

  3. Wäh!

  4. The lesson: Do not eat when u r stoned. When I was younger I made a photo collection from the food what I prepared when I was really stoned (and probably drunk as well) I had a look on them recently. Brrrrrrrr…….. :-)
    carrot sandwich
    something soup (I don’t know what was in it)
    onion with olive oil and onion.
    Instant Noodles with meetballs in tomato sauce+cheese+Mayonese+Tandori curry powder+egg yolk… lol
    Practicaly u can use anything which is at least nearly suitable for humans. for eating…

  5. The first time when I heard of a crisp sandwich was from my wife, who has English parents. She made me one. However, to her, a crisp sandwich is like a normal sandwich, but with crisps added for some crunchiness.

  6. Crisps sandiches are the best just bread ( white ) butter and loads of crispd then just shove in your mouth and eat , it’s not the best thing for you but now and again as a treat is ok , can;t be worse than a BigMac and Fries ( chips ) yeah i’m British !!
    LOL

  7. Crisps and cheese in a sandwich. Brilliant! The crisps just add some crunch to it.

  8. plain white bread with ready salted crisps is one of the best british foods ever!!
    no butter, no ketchup, no flavoured crisps
    i didnt realise it was a british thing, i thought many people liked crisp sandwiches
