O'Haras Belfast baps were the best ever. Teeth wouldn't be fit for them now!

McCanns in Newry did a super plain loaf. Are McCanns still baking?

Right.. Pet Hate in sandwiches. Lettuce....... well not necessarily lettuce itself, more the incorrect placement of said leaves within the sandwich..... Lettuce should NEVER come into contact with any liquid/fluid/moist filling within the sandwich be it mayonnaise, pickle, whatever.... it makes it go all soft and gooey and just wrecks a good sandwich..... for some reason a lot of sandwich companies have not cottoned on to this rule.....

Salad cream is OK though?

NO !!! Still gives you soggy Lettuce !!
You need a dry/solid barrier filling between the lettuce and the gooey stuff...
EG... Ham, slice of cheese, lettuce and mayo. The Lettuce should be separated from the Mayo by the Ham &/or Cheese.

No Barrier Filling = No Lettuce

Just to clarify however... this rule is not applicable if a sandwich is being eaten straight away after preparation as the lettuce will not have the time to go soggy...

Just to clarify if making a sandwich with lettuce it has to be bread lightly buttered, ham with salad cream, lettuce, ham and then bread?

I make my mum a sandwich regularly. One slice of bread cut diagonally. I always find that if I turn over one of the triangle sides before buttering, they always fit better together.
