I haven't had one in years but I used to love mash potato sandwiches 🤭

Do you have any 'different' food combos??

    That's just down right wrong @Biblioklept 😅

    Quite like chocolate and salt and vinegar crisps.

    Cheese and strawberry jam, usually on a cracker of some sort.

    Cheese and mango chutney is also nice. Yum 😁

    Oooh sweet and savoury is good and a recent combo I adore! Not sure about salt and vinegar crisps with chocolate but I like salt and vinegar hula hoops with cheese in a sandwich 😆 Oohh and chocolate covered salted pretzels mmmmmm

    I think I could bring myself to try cheese and mango chutney but not cheese and jam!! lol

    If you think about it, cheese and jam together is just a step away from cheesecake. That's often cheese and fruit together and many people find that acceptable.

    Although the cheese I like with my jam is cheddar cheese rather than cream cheese, so I am fully willing to accept I'm a bit weird 😁

    Oooh yes @Biblioklept, with fish fingers in them as well!! That used to be a summer holiday staple up my nan and granchas when they had all of us kids round 😄

    Strawberries and cheese sauce as a dip.

    Quite partial to pineapple on pizza too. That's often seen as a combination that shouldn't happen. 😂

    I'm another Cheddar cheese & jam fan. I used to like peanut butter & Nutella sandwiches & peanut butter & Bovril to.

    My dad always looked forward to cottage or shepherd's pie for dinner, as the next day he'd have some in a sandwich.

    We used to put a Scotch pie on a bread roll. I'm veggie now, thank goodness!

    Cadbury's Fudge and Golden Wonder ready salted crisps. I’ve not though of that in decades.

    Yes @JessieJ! Glad to hear there are more of us Cheddar & Jam fans 😁

    That chocolate and crisp sandwich sounds incredible @Ranald, I might have to give that a go!

    If i remember back to the early 1980s, this was a playground delicacy, no bread involved!

    Mash Potato Sandwich is top tier food. I would always leave abit of mash potato after having a sunday roast and put it on a piece of bread and mop the rest of the gravy up with it. yum.

    Ah I misread you @Ranald, but now the addition of bread sounds too good to pass up 😂

    I am now addicted to Meridian peanut butter. They shouldn't be allowed to sell it by the kg!

    Having found that a blob of said peanut butter goes well with Heinz Lentil soup, i fear there is no hope for me. (It's pretty good with chopped apple too).

    I might start a war here again… so brace yourself….

    I like to put gravy on my fish and chips from the chippy.

    In Scotland, like I imagine the rest of the UK, it is customary to be asked if you want salt and vinegar on your supper.

    But in Edinburgh, you have to be switched on, not just muttering 'yes please' etc when they ask you. I fell foul to that many years ago.

    They say 'salt and sauce?' in the Edinburgh area, the sauce being a brown sauce mixed with vinegar.
