Corned Beef Sandwich
Tinned corned beef on bread; often with pickle or onion.
Corned Beef Hash Sandwich
The corned beef hash sandwich is the hot one: tinned beef fried to a crust with potato and onion, piled warm on buttered white bread, a fried egg and brown sauce on top, eaten leaning forward.
Corned Beef and Pickle
A tapered tin opened with a key, a dense pink block of salt-cured beef sliced cold, a stripe of sweet pickle to cut it. Corned beef and pickle is the cupboard sandwich that came from the trenches.
Corned Beef and Onion
Corned beef with raw onion.
Condensed Milk Sandwich
Sweetened condensed milk spread on bread; very sweet.
Coleslaw Sandwich
Coleslaw (cabbage, carrot, mayonnaise) on bread.
Cockles and Laverbread
Cockles and laverbread on toast leads with the seaweed: laver boiled to a dark mineral purée, often oatmeal-rolled and fried in bacon fat, the cockles the sweet briny answer. A Welsh breakfast.
Cockle Sandwich
Boiled shelled cockles dressed in malt vinegar on buttered soft white bread, eaten standing at a Swansea Market stall. A South Wales coast and Penclawdd Gower tradition.
Club Sandwich
Triple-decker with chicken/turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo; American import.
Ciabatta Sandwich
An open holey crumb that drinks oil and the juice of wet Mediterranean fillings instead of letting them run out. The loaf reads as timelessly Italian but was invented in 1982 by a rally champion.
Christmas Sandwich
Cold roast turkey, sage-and-onion stuffing and a stripe of cranberry sauce, folded into a buttered bloomer the morning after Christmas, or sold in a chiller cabinet from early November.
Chocolate Spread
A spoon of Nutella or own-brand chocolate spread on two slices of soft white, built by a child in under two minutes and still intact in a school bag at noon. A British cupboard sweet sandwich.
Chocolate Spread Sandwich
An own-label cocoa or hazelnut paste on soft white sliced bread, half the price of the named jar; the cheaper builder of the British school breakfast and youth-club tea.
Chip Cob
A hot scoop of chip-shop chips packed into a buttered round roll. The word at the counter tells you which county the order was placed in.
Chip Butty
Hot chips (thick-cut fries) on buttered white bread; carb-on-carb British classic, often with salt and vinegar.
Chip Butty with Mushy Peas
Marrowfat peas simmered to a thick green pulp, spooned onto buttered white bread, hot chips piled on top: the pea-and-chip tray closed into a Northern chip-shop butty.
Chip Butty with Gravy
Hot chip-shop chips and a ladle of thin brown chippy gravy folded into buttered white bread; the savoury alternative to the same counter's curry sauce.
Chip Butty with Curry Sauce
The sauce is the part worth knowing: not really a curry but a British-Chinese chip-shop invention, mild and turmeric-gold. The butty is chips-and-curry at its most saturated.
Chip Butty with Curry Sauce
A chip-shop chip butty with a ladle of thick, mild, faintly sweet curry sauce, built over the counter with the chips still spitting from the fryer basket.
Chip Barm
The Northwest's chip sandwich: hot chips, butter and salt pressed into a soft floured barm cake whose open crumb collapses around the pile and grips it.
Chip Bap
Hot chip-shop chips on a soft floured bap: a dry powdery crown over a base that drinks the grease, the denser sweeter crumb the bap brings to a job the barm does its own way.
Chicken Tikka Wrap
Chicken tikka in naan or wrap.
Chicken Tikka Sandwich
Tandoori-spiced chicken tikka pieces on bread; British-Indian fusion.
