      Well given my experience with lurpak spreadable being not so spreadable, and in the video it was I’ve come to the conclusion the fridge doesn’t actually work (or is off) and the potnoodle isn’t being chilled and just stored there.

    By toasting the bread it won’t be soggy. You’ll also get the crispy texture.

    A builders cafe in an alleyway just off Pall Mall served a full roast beef dinner in a sandwich. Roast potatoes, slices of medium roast beef, yorkshire pudding strips, roasted veg, with gravy and some english mustard. All in between two chunky pieces of buttered white bread. It was majestic. Sadly the landlord got greedy and jacked up the rent so they had to close. RIP Fuzzy's Grub.

      I do that whenever my family makes roast. Mash all the veg down into some mush, butter your bread of choice, spread veg mash, layer meat, add gravy as desired. Voila, roast sandwich.

    Spreadable butter wasn't invented till the 70s, and it wasn't even lurpak who invented it, but I think they adopted it in the 70s. Lurpak, the company, was founded in 1901 and rebranded in '57 to be what we recognize today, this is around the time they moved into the British market, but with standard butter blocks to start.

    Hi James wondering if you might try the Fools Gold sandwich made famous by none other than Mr Elvis presley!! The story goes that one night while entertaining friends at graceland someone mentioned the fools gold sandwich that they had eaten while in denver and so Elvis was keen to try it,apparently himself and his 30 buddies jumped aboard his pribate jet and flew 2 hours to denver at 11pm that night and had the sandwiches delivered to the plane.
    The recipie is as follows
    1 long warmed hollowed out loaf or, baton
    Filled with a jar of peanut butter,and a jar of grape jelly topped off with a pound of fried bacon.
    Hoping you might not have to go to Denver for the grape jelly
