of course! how could i forget!! the classic english Chip Butty!
and that, is, a chip sandwich. the english version of french fries, not potato chips. chips being sliced, thicker than fries, par-boiled, then deep fried, sometimes twice. unlike french fries, reconstituted blah. hmmmm, i want one now. dead good stuff. and with a fried egg too, mmmmmm

hah yeah fried twinkies, some people will eat anything. I don't think I've ever even had a regular twinkie. Might as well just deep fry some lard while your at it......

It's lactose.... and why not just eat soy ice cream.

That is why they make Lactaid so that ice cream lovers can continue to enjoy a treat. Nothing really beats the original, it's just not the same!

Have u actually tried soy ice cream though?

I've had many soy products. Maybe I'm just used to the flavoring, but I've been damned happy with all of them thus far. ;)

Yes, and soy milk. I have liked some soy products (mmm... soy taquitos). Some of them taste too much like the product they replace (like some meat ones. I don't even like the taste of meat) or not enough (like milk products).

Your experiances may vary.

Ok...touché. I've just gotten in the habit of giving a person crap whenever they say they say something is "gross."

nothing personal... ;)

But, u are right, it can depend on the experience. There are some products of the same type by different brand, some are better than the others. I guess one has to experiment. :D

Actually a friend of mine uses some kind-of cheese substitute she says is pretty good. The stuff I've gotten has been oily. Is there any soy milk you'd recommend? I'm always willing to try new things...

Just no Lactaid. Ech.

Well, I've never tried Lactaid...never wanted to, to be honest. ;)

Have u tried Silk Soy Milk yet? It comes in regular & chocolate. Pretty tasty, if u ask me. :D

I've also done the soy cheeses. Some are better than others. I was surprised by the texture of it though, not plastic-like, how I imagined.

Some information on how to diagnosis and treat a milk and gluten allergy. With the milk the easiest is to avoid, but that do have lactase medications so that you can enjoy something like ice cream!

Rice and soy ice creams are actually better, and normally less greasy tasting too. And sherbets are milk-free :)

Wheat is a pain in the apple to avoid. You find wheat even in candies where its not supposed to be! so i angrily emailed a candy company few weeks ago for the use of wheat (that i did not notice on package).

Onions are a pain to avoid too. Went out yesterday, and got a "seafood salad". the seafood was breaded and then fried, and the salad had onions etc. They aren't supposed to be breaded, nor really fried either, and the onion was in a wrong salad. As it was not supposed to be there, i didnt botehr to ask it with "no onions". Grr. i tried to avoid all the breaded stuff, so it was a lot of frustration with the knife and it wasn't 100 % then .. i avoided all onions, but some of its enzymes were already absorbed in the rest, so after half a salad 14 hours ago, my stomach's still screwed. :(

Milk, especially cold, tastes just bad so never bothered to use e.g. those powders you can use to break the lactose in the food. I do have casually a latte but it makes me normally run the really fast... masochism i guess.
 
A sherbert sorbet is a great cleansing of the palete between courses. Sherbet is a great dessert, it's light and so even good on a full stomach. A very refreshing taste.

As a soy substitute for meat, Tofu is pretty good. My wife has used it in a salad, omlet, sandwich, spagetti, and lassagna!

OK, but which sauce do you go for?

Heinz Tomato Ketchup?

or

HP Brown?

Actually a fried egg sarnie is a good breakfast, as is your standard sausage sarnie... mmmm:p


For the record a chip butty isn't worth the effort without HP sauce:D

if it's a chip butty, then red sauce (ketchup), and a sausage sandwich has to be with brown sauce (HP). as for fried egg and bacon, well, the egg dictates that it should be red. and nothing better than a nice cup of tea after a fried (or boiled, poached..) egg! ahhhh

i think i'm gonna have to buy me some bangers on the way home (I'm working 2 minutes away from the makers of the best bangers in America (where i have worked before, and made them too), original Cumberland recipe too :D )
 
Another kind of sandwich that I like ocassionally is an open faced sandwich. One in particular is with beef, mashed potatoes, and gravy on top of bread of your choice.
 
Course, the other sandwich no-ones mentioned is a SPAM sandwich, I love a SPAM sandwich me, nothing quite a nice as a really tasty SPAM sandwich IMO

Just thought you'd like to know.

now sure how i missed this part of the discussion earlier.. hah

silk original and vanilla are the best i've had. 8th continent is a little weird. i believe there's one called "sun soy" that is quite good..

i have yet to find a dairy free cheese that is worth eating. there are several rennet/lactose free cheeses that are quite good, but they have casein (a milk derivative). same goes for the best soy/wheat gluten meat products... many have egg whites or milk derivatives, etc... so they are a no go.

the best products i've found in general are morningstar farm... amy's organic stuff is pricier, and hit or miss... the amy's non-dairy burrito with beans and rice is stellar. but like 259 a pop...

soy ice creams are quite good. specifically, tofutti cuties (ice cream sandwiches) and tofutti ice cream in general. tofutti also makes soy based sour cream and cream cheese, which are really good. i use the sour cream for burritos and such, as well as a base for making onion dip (mmm)... the cream cheese is stellar as is of course, and my mom has used it in some desserts with mixed results

something to avoid.... carob drops! ehhhh. yuck. my mom was making cookies for me (ie, vegan style) and tried carob drops which are supposedly a good choco chip substitute (rather than just finding some milk free choc chips)... well, they're terrible.... and the after taste... man

silk soy yogurt is pretty good too. good protein calcium for us freaks who don't eat dairy.
 
So you're a vegetarian?

I always have to tell people, "I'm not a vegetarian, I just don't eat meat".

I just don't. It's not my ideals, it's not about health (although beef, especially, makes me naseous). It just makes me sick eating it. It's gross. If you think about it...

Nevermind. I won't go into details.
 
Monte Cristos are the best sandwiches. Just don't plan on exerting yourself after haveing one, if it is properly preparred.
