Tomatoes in sandwiches

[AndyAudi]

Yes, but only if they're skinned & seeded.

Really? Perhaps a trip to the dentist

Regardless of the tomato stance - don't mind it. But the quantity of ham must be far greater than the tomato - butter or mayo is necessary.

The really offending article is the lettuce. Why bother. Nice enough in a salad, but on a ham and tomato sandwich it's superfluous (obviously).

Am I the only person on here who likes a salad sandwich?

Even a lettuce one with just a little salt.

Freshly sliced bread, lots of unsalted butter, thick sliced roast ham, thick slices of tomato, good pinch of S&P. What's not to like??

We've already established you're quite odd. Did you ever make anything happen that you couldn't explain?

something about northerners meeting a sticky end with a pork joint but I can't quite remember

Bah, sod off you mockney tt. Born in Australia, grew up in the new forest, don't get more southern than that.

Living in sMacclesfield is an irrelevance alright?!

A sandwich without tomato, or cucumber is just wrong.

I even put nuked toms in sausage or bacon sarnies. YUM.

Dear All,

surely (and I can call you that can't I?) it depends on the season and quality of said tomato.

Supermarket winter unripe mildly orange woody sour thing - wrong.
Grandma's garden summer ripe bright red soft and sweet - right,

Get the tomatoes out of the fridge in good time, though, or you won't taste them.

SWMBO keeps putting the bloody tomatoes in the fridge But I've discovered that a 15 second nuke brings them up to room temperature

Whats the point of using unsalted butter then adding salt

Control cotters, control. I like being able to determine how much salt I add myself and not what president tell me I should.

I voted yes.

Brings more flavour/gives more body to it (be it a simple cheese sarny or bacon one).

A big No! I hate tomatos and always seem to find one lurking in a sandwich that I have to pull apart and take out and it gets all messy trying to flick it in the bin. Nearly all shop bought sandwiches seem to have a tomato in them. I can do sun dried tomatos though.

And mayonnaise....why do they all have to have mayonnaise?
