Blitz flashback

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.
- We need Norwegian ostehøvels. They give perfect cheese slices. Shame they're so expensive to import.
You're worried about that? Looking at that much cheese gives me a hemhroid
- Honestly the only issue I take there is that it’s not heated
- Never heard of cheese curds? Take that same block of cheese from the sandwich chop it up batter it then deep fry it and you have a delicious socially acceptable appetizer. Hell, it would be a small portion size for that appetizer.
I honestly think this could taste good with the cheese and bread so thick as well.
- 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.
I know people who love raw onion enough to try this
- I'm fine with the onion, it's the cheese that's the problem
- A pinch of salt and that would be lovely 😁

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

The longer I look at it the less I can identify what kind of cheese it is, so you may be on to something
- 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.
- i would guess Leicester
- I think we can rule out moon cheese.
My bet would be this kind of "cheddar"
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.
- This is a very considerate response, thank you

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.

That’s exactly what I’m doing, but I don’t normally call my stomach “a pot.”
- Cutting out the middle man, smart!

dafuq you talking about? that looks delicious

This was written by a restoralax executive
- i don't know what that means, is this something the young people say?
Agreed. Cheese and onion? Sign me the fuck up.
- I'm down with it in principle, but that's an awfully big chunk of raw onion.

Meanwhile Germans: Where is the raw minced pork?

I hear it's honestly really good
The store.
Think I'lll treat me to some tommorrow.

Amazing. That's my lunch sorted tomorrow

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!)

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

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.

They're shipping Dukes further, unsure if they're now nationwide or not,but they're certainly shipping to stores near me and it's pretty damn good. Sort of between Kewpie and Helmanns/Best Foods

It's a cob round here. You can take your rolls down south where they belong.
- And since when did rolls have crusty crusts

After a good game of whif-whaf

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.)

I'm down with the cob.

I'm down with the cheese.

But who the fuck eats that amount of raw onion in one sitting?
