    oh! oh! just remembered one of my favourites, hash brown/potato waffle sandwiches

    must be squishy white bread & real butter :D usually after having too much alcohol



    worst one after alcohol are the crisp sandwiches, you wake up hungover in the bed full of crisp crumbs :rolleyes:

    Make the rice first.

    Whisk up some eggs (I just use 1 for myself). Chuck in a hot pan and mix around so it breaks up like scrambled egg bits. Put the rice in and fry with soy sauce. I like to put lots of soy sauce in. A splash of sesame oil is quite nice as well.

    I like to fry some onion and garlic first, then add the egg, then the rice.

    I like scrambled egg sandwiches with ketchup, no-one else I know does it though. Also a tin of baked beans, add a little chilli powder, mix in with cooked pasta and grated cheese on top.

    sounds good :)

    & the rice works best if it's cold before you fry it

    oh, scrambled egg sandwiches, lovely :)

    I like left-over omelette sandwiches too, or stuffed in a pita

    My first post here, and in it I will confess to some disgusting lunchtime eating habits! Not sure if that bodes well for the future or not... :)

    I like:

    Supernoodle sandwiches.

    Crunchy peanut butter and cheese sandwiches.

    Cheese & ketchup.

    Peanut butter and jam deserves an honourable mention.

    Mashed banana sandwiches.

    Oh and sometimes I cut a hole in the middle of a slice of bread, and lob it in a frying pan. Drop an egg in the hole and you get some nice fried bread and fried egg combo. Add lashings of ketchup before serving. Haut cuisine!

    welcome :)

    hey, hope you fry the 'hole' too & use it to top the eggy bit when serving :D

    Recovering spendaholic - theres nothing odd about that; you are descbribing cinnamon toast!

    Whanoah - again I am sure I have seen Jamie Oliver do this.

    Sorry - just not odd enough for this thread!

    I don't seem to have any peculiarities!

    Good start! This is getting close to my favourite, albeit wrong for so many reasons, late night, rolling in from the pub, snack - the fried cheese and onion sandwich. My only defence is that I don't do this very often. Still well worth the nightmares, the extra inch on the waist, the extra pound on the scales, the millimetre less on the arteries ... :grin:
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
