[...] it’s a sarnie, a butty, a filled bap or a crusty cob, I’ve mentioned before that I love a sandwich. And I’m fairly evangelical in my love of the bread-based snack [...]

Ok, try this:

-Peanut butter
-dill pickles (the sweet kind; not the hamburger dills)
-American cheese (preferably the “deluxe” kind; not soft singles)

My grandmother’s concoction. It’s good. I eat them now and then. Honest.

My British boyfriend is amazed at how much peanut butter we have in our diet, really… from Butterfingers to peanut butter chicken (which I blame more on Thai cooking than anything else).

I was making a poorly worded joke – sorry, it was late, I was tired!

Dylan: I wasn’t necessarily referring to me. Maybe because of its visual similarity to a dairy product, mayo is not the sandwich condiment of choice for those of Eastern European Jewish heritage, tuna salad sandwiches being the major exception.

Brooklyn – just for the purposes of clarity, can I say that I wasn’t saying that you personally are responsible for Hellmanns execs getting their holidays in the Seychelles…although you may be a big mayo eater for all I know…

That Girl 39 – am glad you found the blog. Have to warn you that I was an NYCophile, and I ended up living here, so be careful what you wish for! Oh, and yes I wrote the 200 Things list…it was to mark my 200th blog posting, although probably at around number 89 I realised that it was a much more daunting task than I had originally anticipated…

Name (Required) – glad to see you come out of lurkdom! And yes, much to Brit Out Of Water Sr’s dismay, I am very much a devoted Guardian reader. The paper’s certainly in the top 10 of things I miss about the UK…the website’s good but doesn’t quite make up for it (and nor does Guardian Weekly!). I used to do the Telegraph crossword when I was a kid though – will you forgive me?!

By the way, other lurkers, please do feel free to make yourselves known…!

Dylan,
I am an avid reader – and a Brit living in the US, like you, I just finished my 365 days out of water last month. I love your blog mainly because it echoes all that I miss about the UK – and the writing is hilarious – you definitely are a Guardian man – please dont tell me you read the Telegraph

Having said that, I was ravenous until I read all your sandwich stories – people, thanks; for my appetite is now a thing of the past.
Although, someone can make it up to me by getting me a chicken and avocado on brown from Pret a manger. Damn, I miss lunch in London.

Firstly – I’m still reeling from our sandwich experience at Katz’s when we visited this year – how much meat?!? But loved it nonetheless!
Second – great blog! I envy that you live in NYC…I have only had time to read a couple of posts but will be trying to catch up on some history now that I found your site (via Mom/Mum).
And last – did you write the 200 things you have to know about New York? I only got as far as 89 tonight but will be going back for more! Pure genius!

PS… did you guess yet that I’m one of those annoying brits obsessed with NY?

1.”Brooklyn alone ensures that senior Hellman executives have earned their annual bonus every year since 1934.” [Dylan's Original Post].

2.“Must be a sub-conscious kosher thing.” [Almost American Comment 6].

1. is true only to the extent that changes in the ethnic make-up of the Borough has made 2. less relevant.
