The Beast didn't have time for a propper lunch today , so I rushed along to the Deli Sandwich Bar(One of two Mr Frobisher) to get a made to order baguette .
For once the gods seemed to be smiling on me as there was a very small queue , and after doing a bit of maths to ensure I joined the queue at the right stage and get served by the Italian Grandmother , whose ovaries start twitching whenever she claps eyes on the Beast's sturdy frame and if I give her a bit of the old flannel I get a beautifully made sandwich , much grandmotherly clucking and whopping great portions .
However if you get it wrong , you end up with The Irish Witch , a thin lipped , sour faced hag , who hates the world , but especially hates me . I will end up with a mauled horror with very slim pickins indeed , and get over charged into the bargain.
Due to a queue malfunction and a nifty bit of footwork by the person in front , I ended up with The Irish Witch .My Brie, cucumber and tomatoe baguette , looked like it had been three rounds with Mike Tyson and tasted bizarely of pine fresh toilet cleaner.
I wonder if the Irish Witch enjoys her work ?
Whats your favourite sandwich

Fish fingers and salt 'n vinegar crisps...
Erm... does the Irish Witch read your blog?
Sx
Miss Scarlet .I like fish finger and potatoe waffle sandwiches , garnished with salad cream and crinkle cut crisps(For a touch of class ) .
I hope she doesn't or the mauling and portions could get worse
okay...don't laugh at me...it's a toss up between a honey ham and swiss cheese...and a peanut butter, no jelly...
Daisy , I love peanut butter , we dont do the jelly thing with peanut butter in the UK , and there is nothing wrong with the majestic Ham and Cheese especially with a dash of hot mustard
What if they both show up to work on the same day and want Beast to be the meat in an Italian Grandmother/Irish Witch sarnie?
They would be out of luck Miss MJ , The Beast don't do requests
It has got to be a bacon butty. If this gets rejected on the basis of not being a proper sarnie, then it's a bacon and ketchup sarnie. A rose by any other name...
Or a chip butty. Hummm.
Locust and mayonnaise, but why doesn't that Irish lady like you, Beast? There must be a reason - maybe she heard you chortling about her hairstyle.
beast...the next time you are in her line try to strike up a conversation...tell her you have a friend from the US who goes over to see friends of hers in cookstown and ballymena at least once a year if not twice and you were looking for some places to tell her (me) to visit...be prepared to write them down and tell me :) she will make you a sweet sandwich that day!
Mmmm... A tuna sub with plenty of mayonnaise and sweet onion sauce. Yum!

Both are good choices Mr F , you could combine your chip butty with Miss Scarlets fish fingers to create a Friday Special !

I asked her one day if she was naturally rude and obnoxious or if she had to practice for hours to achieve her almost super human standard . I may have to pass on the locusts they are in short supply in Bournemouth
I say that we combine all three. Fish fingers, bacon and chips. Loads of ketchup... Hummm...

Daisy , see my reply to Mr B above , I think I have almost certainly blown it on the diplomatic front

Sounds good Mr Ivd , can I interest you in a few crinkle cut crisps on the side for added sophistication

hmmm not sure on the fish and bacon combo , maybe Miss Scarlet , in her position as resident fishy fingered expert would like to comment
oh beast just give it a go...really...just act like your friend sent you in there to do it (I am sending you in there to do it!) what have you got to lose? you are already getting a shit sandwich...you never know it may be the one bright spot in her day and you will be her favorite beast and get all of the goodies...oh that sounded so not right...but you know what i mean
I think fish fingers and bacon is a bit of a no-no.
I tired of being fish fingered, perhaps I need sausage?
Yey! refound my mojo... sorry...
Sx
Mine's a sandwitch.

If she tells me to feck off and die it will all be your fault Daisy

I see what you did there Inky :-) .
I warn you tho she is a big old pile of Tits n'attitude
if she tells you that beast I will personally make a trip to see her my next visit...and she will have a different outlook...but i think if you handle yourself right and mention the towns i told you...she will warm up to you a bit...you can also tell her the ballymena boys are a bunch of sheep shaggers (widely known joke to most irish about ballymena specifically)...
Sexy Myra looks after me well.
No Myras have been born for the last 40 years for obvious reasons. I think she compensates for her name by putting extra mayo on my tuna salad.
But nothing beats a chip butty.
Would someone please explain the CHIP BUTTY to me?
From what I gather, it's a load of chips between layers of bread.
WTF?
My favorite sandwich is an egg salad sandwich--just hard boiled eggs, seasoned with salt and pepper, mayo, and bread. My second fave is fried spam and cheese with toasted bread.
Perhaps the Irish witch doesn't know she's a terrible sandwich maker. But if she's a real bitch, I'd send a note to mgmt about how crappy she is; or just throw some water on her to make her melt.
MJ, hard to believe, but you're right. I thought it was a joke too, but spent a year (the worst of my life) in the north of England and saw people eating this muck. They eat, they die, and they do not see the connection.
A chip butty is not a chip butty without ketchup...
And life is about the balance of a long life and a fun life, not the persuit of one to the exclusion of the other.
Thus the odd chip butty is allowed, for sure... :-)

What happens if her sainted father comes from Ballymena ...
if he truly comes from ballymena...she will laugh and say well then you do know the ballymena boys...

Or it may be part of her evil master plan

No arguement there

You just explained it yourself , but dont forget the lashings of ketchup or brown sauce . Its like a greasy orgasm in your mouth

Not so keen on the egg Mr E , however , we at Beastbites are big supporters of Spam

I think she mauls the sandwiches out of pure spite

SORRY

***Stuffs huge chip butty in mouth and belches at MJ and INKY**

Is that before or after she stabs me in the eye with a fork ??
Mine is Peanut butter, crispy bacon, chicken, sweetcorn, mayonnaise and jam!!!!!!!!!!
YUM YUM!!!!!!!! roflmao
Sounds disgusting , but each to there own old bean
In Canada, we don't know the meaning of the words "butty" or "botty". You never hear those terms over here.
So occasionally I get them mixed up.
Beast, may I have a bite of your botty?
Join the queue
***snork***
I meant to say butty!
Mistress: I think not.
Beast, are you eating your butty while lying on your back? I think that's called cowgirl.
Salmon, salad, tomato, onion and garlic dressing.
Mmmmm I had one for dinner last night.

I thinks thats called impending indigestion Inky , or were you being rude

Sounds good except for the garlic , too robust a flavour for my taste with the salmon
Coronation chicken baguette. Or rare roast beef and horseradish on ordinary white bread.
And I really don't like cheese sandwiches of any description just thinking about them I remember that horrible feeling when the cheese sticks to the roof of your mouth! yuk!
mmmmmmmmmmmm coranation chicken or roast beef its a difficult choice
I love a simple sanga so any of these combinations make my mouth water.
Roast beef with tomato chutney
ham and cheese, with a smidge of mustard.
Vegemite and cheese.
YUM!
Chicken salad on wheat...potato chips and a diet coke. mmmmmm
