      EDIT: I got it wrong sorry. There was a post on Reddit with similar looking rolls from Bristol.


      The photo was posted to Reddit at least a year ago, and was apparently from an English pub that wanted to sell ‘real’ pub snacks again. The roll cost something like £1.50, where most snacks like this go for around £5 or more.

      There was a big discussion on the landlord’s chopping skills, but he claimed that it was really popular 👍

      On a side note, I’d really enjoy that roll, as long as it’s got a bit of butter so it’s not too dry 🙂

        You sure? On the podcast he hosts he said that he bought this “cob” on his way to a match that happened just last weekend.

            Even more terrifying. It means multiple people in multiple places have decided that that’s a reasonable thing to sell to people wanting to buy an edible sandwich.

              I could fix this. Grill the onion in a little butter with some garlic salt and pepper, add some center cut bacon, go with either a mild cheddar or maybe a Colby jack, slice it thin and layer it through so it melts a bit and you’ve got yourself something.

                Raw onion can be good. An onion and cheese sandwich, while unusual, could be good. The issue isn’t necessarily the ingredients, it’s the ridiculous thickness of the block of cheese and the onion. Even a nice sweet onion would be rough if it’s that thick, and that cheese is going to be tough to even bite through.

                Hopefully the price is still the same even though the time, effort and ingredients have gone up

        We need Norwegian ostehøvels. They give perfect cheese slices. Shame they’re so expensive to import.

        Never heard of cheese curds? Take that same block of cheese from the sandwich chop it up batter it then deep fry it and you have a delicious socially acceptable appetizer. Hell, it would be a small portion size for that appetizer.

          That’s not what cheese curds are and if that’s how they’re serving you cheese curds where you are I’m sorry.

          Cheese curds are literally tiny little curds of cheese and should be kinda springy.
