The Best Comfort Sandwich Ever? I Bring You...

Well, yes.

I do believe this may be the best comfort food sandwich ever in the existence of mankind. Probably.

It's the marmite and honey sandwich smeared over thick swathes of good butter, itself on a doorstop chunk of fresh white bread. This was my last slice, hence the half n' half. Smeared together after this photo was taken.

Sweet, savoury, satiny, sumptuous, wholesome, filling and just bloody tasty and so wonderful.



I humbly lay the gauntlet down, but please try one before you pass comment...

Oh come on. This isn't so bad. Once tasted, it's pure delight. And I'm serious. Try one.

Now, to make it interesting, one could always add peanut butter to it. This, also, tastes delicious.

My son looked at my sandwich when I was making it and wasn't terribly impressed either. He didn't try it, more fool him.

The secret is to get the butter ratio right. Too little and it's nice, but a trifle flat. That gorgeous creaminess to balance the intenseness of the marmite and the sweetness of the honey needs to be right.

Same with a peanut butter sandwich. A reasonable amount of butter to reduce the stickiness of the spread works wonders.

Clearly, these are rare treats and not for everyday consumption.

Whilst we're discussing the odder combinations, anyone tried strong cheddar and marmalade yet?
