That onion is sliced so thick. Someone tell me this is somebody “taking the piss”, please

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.

My apologies, you are right. I found the original post, and it's a place in Bristol selling similar rolls. The Reddit link is here

You're worried about that? Looking at that much cheese gives me a hemhroid

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly the only issue I take there is that it’s not heated

I honestly think this could taste good with the cheese and bread so thick as well.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

It really is. I can’t speak for the OP cheese there as I’m a cheese wimp - but equal parts cheddar and onion is really good. Or excess onion.

[–] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I know people who love raw onion enough to try this

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm fine with the onion, it's the cheese that's the problem

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 7 points 2 years ago

Your negative attitude is the problem.

That looks less like a big slice of cheese and more like a big slab of butter. Which makes me feel ill.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The longer I look at it the less I can identify what kind of cheese it is, so you may be on to something

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that's a slab of bog standard NY cheddar. Something like this

It's barely aged so it isn't crumbly, but it's not bad. I'd actually eat that sandwich.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tim Stillman lives in England and was on his way to a football match in England, so it's probably not NY Cheddar.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Looks like he's in a pub, so probably whatever cheddar Brakes are knocking out these days.

Either way, there's too much of it.

no it'd be a dark orange

My bet would be this kind of "cheddar"

Anchor cheddar block

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The default, in the UK, would be a medium mature cheddar. It's strong enough to taste cheesy, but not so strong that you can't eat a slab of it. A few other cheeses would also fit the bill, but they tend not to come in blocks. That is a slab cut from a block of cheese.

We don't normally cut it quite that thick, in a sandwich, but it's not so big as to off put most English. The raw onion would be a lot more divisive.

Literally all you have to do is throw that whole thing into a pot with some beer and heat it for a while, then you have a pretty decent soup.

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 57 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That’s exactly what I’m doing, but I don’t normally call my stomach “a pot.”

This was written by a restoralax executive

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i don't know what that means, is this something the young people say?

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's a laxative from what I can see. What they meant by it I'm not sure, but their selling line is "no taste, no grit, no gas" so I think they were just saying you have no taste?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

imma go back and upvote then, because that would have been kinda funny if I got the reference.

However, I am committed to my stance that cheddar and onion is a top tier flavor in the same league as bacon.

[–] brenticus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Cheese plugs a lot of people up, especially an unholy yet tempting slab like that.

Agreed. Cheese and onion? Sign me the fuck up.

Amazing. That's my lunch sorted tomorrow

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Not enough Branston pickle, which to make up the ratio would require about half the jar I think. But then you'd have a perfect ploughmans lunch! (I'm not even a Brit, i just like a good peasant meal!)

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

With some violent mustard, this could be something to consider.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey now... simple sandwiches are awesome. I make tomato sandwiches all the time. It's just a thick slice of tomato (with salt and pepper) on toast with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and mayonnaise (Dukes, only ever Dukes). You can put bacon on it if you want to get fancy.

It's a nice and simple snack.

If you chopped the onion, sprinkled it over half the bun, then melted the cheese over it, you might have something amazing. (Depending on the type of cheese.)

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

After a good game of whif-whaf
