Been recreating the brindisa sandwich at home and made a pasta version. The ingredients work so well together. Probably didn’t need to add all the extras I did but what the hey!
Was this post that sent me (finally) to Borough Market, so thank you.

The best sandwiches in London, in my experience, are sold in the the ‘German Pub’ (I think thats how its called, although as far as I can see its more of a sandwich bar than a pub). It is very close to the Waterloo train station, at the botom of the Lower Marsh road (I think it is technically on the other road but I dont know its name). They make giant roasts, steaming hot, slice them up and stuck the gorgeous tender meat in between the fresh bread with loats of greens and other accompliments. Divine! Their pork & apple sauce baguette sandwich is to die for!

I do love those Brindisa chorizo sandwiches – the way the chorizo is slightly crispy crunchy on the outside. They are a bit on the small side for the price though, and that queue…

My favourite London sandwich has to be the hog roast roll at Whitecross Market – comes with apple sauce & pork scratchings and it is enormous! Don’t know if it’s still there though – haven’t been in a while.

Farm in Farringdon do some really great sandwiches too.

It’s very hard to beat Gaby’s on Charing Cross Road for salt beef sandwiches – not the cheapest but seriously good.

I love the Brindisa Chorizo sandwiches too, and always regret that I never got to try the amazing cheese sandwich from the stall outside Neals Yard Dairy that everyone raved about. For hangovers, I always love the tuna cheese melt, at “thanks for franks” on ganton st in soho. Well worth a try, even if you’re not feeling a little delicate…

The Brindisia grill sandwiches are also available at Whitecross street market and are a firm favourite of mine – the simplicity of the ingredients is fantastic and love the way the chorizo oil runs into the bun – mmmm.

Martha – yeah, I reckon it does. I think anything with a filling and some sort of bread counts as a sandwich. The burrito might be stretching it a little but hey, who cares. I recently went to a Burrito making masterclass at Chilango actually, it was brilliant fun. I found out rolling a burrito is harder than it looks. I do find their guacamole incredibly salty though.

Sue – Thank you and thank you again. I must try making my own salt beef sandwich. I will also check out El Vergel – very intriguing!

Rosie – Brilliant! I love it. I am very glad to hear you still have your arm though…! x

Jonathan – Well, you know me, I like a drink once a year or something I agree with all your thoughts re: new sandwich places and yes, of course I am up for a sandwich off. Let’s do it!!

Tanya – yes I know what you mean! Perhaps it is that queue. I mean, the sizzle and the wafts of chorizo smoke, they really do get you all excited so by the time you eat it you are so excited your arm nearly falls off as Rosie put it!

The Brindisa sandwich is my absolute favourite! I’ve tried making it at home, but it is never quite the same. Maybe it is the anticipation that builds up in the queue?
