    My bowl of muesli awaits - acceptable sugar content, drowned in semi-skimmed milk.

      ( I have often wondered what the french opinion of brown sauce would be).

      Peanut butter , or PB and marmite.
      I rather like cucumber sandwiches too.
      Raymond Blanc thinks brown sauce is wonderful and now uses it in his cooking:

      “It’s funny to say but I only discovered brown sauce at age 65. Bear in mind I had been in England for over 40 years at that point! I had never really tried it nor had an interest. Then one day a friend offered me a bacon butty with brown sauce and I can tell you now, it was a revelation. I cannot believe I waited so long! After that, I wanted to know everything about it and I was so surprised to look at the label and find it doesn’t contain a single artificial ingredient. Fantastic.”

      "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

        By "brown", I take it he means "HP", which is, of course, Dutch*, these days. Surprised that he did not jump on board while it was French (Danone, itself originally Spanish).

          To quote numerous chefs on the BBC "other brown sauces are available". Blanc has also published his own recipe for making brown sauce, so he may use that rather than HP, or any other makers' brown sace.

            These we have loved: Cheddar cheese and tomato with plenty of salt and pepper on old-fashioned English-style baguette as served by the sandwich bar round the corner from the old Guildhall School.
            Pretty much any sandwich but especially the Prawn and Salad version made at the sandwich shop in Shaftesbury Avenue just off Piccadilly Circus.
            Currently any sandwich made by my wife using good sourdough bread eg cheese, beetroot, lettuce, onion, cornichon and a hint of mayonnaise or salad cream, herbs of choice and a little seasoning.

              Gosh you are clever. But M Blanc means:

              "The ingredients are: 200g pitted dates, 700g Bramley apples, a pinch of ground allspice, a pinch of ground ginger, a few gratings of nutmeg, 140g dark brown sugar, 100ml Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar and 100ml red wine vinegar ...."

                Some of these suggestions sound more like burgers than sandwiches.

                      Recently, I've taken to making this sandwich, except using fried chilli halloumi instead of the sausages. Delicious...

                        A good spreading of mayonnaise (Sainsbury’s my preference) on the top slice and maybe a bit of cos lettuce completes this sandwich perfectly!

                          All sounds a bit modern though……

                            Ah, sandwiches..... ham and mustard, bacon dripping with butter and garlic, chicken salad with Lucy's French Dressing.......
                            Hot Chip butties on foccaccia with garlic lurpak and the late movie! How the brain was sent reeling from chomping the carbs....

                            A poignant memory if one cannot, any longer, eat any bread. Not even gluten-free....(not that this ever tastes of anything at all....
