Tuna Mayo
Tuna mayo is Britain's default lunch: tinned tuna stirred through with mayonnaise, eaten cold from a chiller-cabinet wedge or a lunchbox, the steady bestseller of the meal-deal fridge.
UK
Tuna Crunch
Tuna mayo with celery and pepper for crunch.
Tuna and Sweetcorn
Tuna mayo with sweetcorn; very popular British combination.
Triple Sandwich
Meal deal triple pack; three mini sandwiches with different fillings.
Tongue Sandwich
The British tongue sandwich is built on a clean pink round, and that round is sculpted: a whole ox tongue brined, simmered, peeled, and screwed down in a mould before it is sliced onto buttered white.
Tongue Sandwich (Tea)
Thinly sliced pressed ox tongue on white bread with mustard; delicate meat, mild flavor.
Tomato Sandwich
Fresh tomato slices with salt on buttered bread; simple summer sandwich.
Tomato Sandwich (Tea)
Skinned, seeded, salted tomato on thin buttered white, crusts trimmed and cut into fingers: the afternoon-tea sandwich whose fruit the British distrusted for centuries before the tea tray took it in.
Toasted Cheese
Grilled cheese sandwich; toasted bread with melted cheese.
Tayto Sandwich
A crisp sandwich that insists on the brand: a whole bag of Tayto cheese and onion laid intact between buttered white bread, the orange seasoning powder doing all the talking.
Tattie Scone Roll
A single warm tattie scone alone in a soft floured Scottish morning roll, sauce on the inside, no bacon and no Lorne. The cheap meat-free line at a Glasgow roll-bar counter.
Tandoori Chicken Sandwich
Tandoor-charred yoghurt-marinated chicken folded into a soft naan painted with cool raita, with sliced red onion and cucumber; the British-Indian curry-house portable form of a 1920s Peshawar dish.
Sunday Roast Sandwich
The British Monday-leftover sandwich: cold-sliced Sunday roast on buttered bloomer with whatever condiment the gravy boat carried. A household economy in bread.
Sugar Sandwich
The most stripped-down sweet on the British thrift shelf, and its whole character is one physical fact: the sugar stays a grit, crunching dry against soft buttered bread before it melts.
Submarine Sandwich
Long roll sandwich; American sub-style.
Streaky Bacon Butty
Belly-cut streaky rendered to a brittle lace inside soft buttered bread, the American cut routed through the British morning roll for the snap a back rasher cannot give.
Stottie Cake Sandwich
A flat, dense, oven-bottom round from the North East, named for the Geordie word for a bounce. Newcastle fills it with ham and warm yellow pease pudding, a soft load the tight crumb was made to carry.
Stornoway Black Pudding Sandwich
A fried disc of the PGI-protected Hebridean blood pudding, heavy with Scottish oatmeal and beef suet, on a soft morning roll: the Stornoway butcher counter on a breakfast bap.
Stinking Bishop Sandwich
Stinking Bishop is a Gloucestershire farmhouse cheese washed in perry from a local pear, made by Charles Martell at Dymock since 1972. The sandwich is the test of its rind on plain bread.
Stilton Sandwich
Plain Blue Stilton between buttered bread, no fruit or nut. The British household tea, lunchbox, and Boxing Day cheeseboard reading of the PDO blue.
