Soopafan tbh. I might just take you up on that. Come down and do a bit of christmas shopping and do the Fulham game. You can doss at mine.

I go to all the London away games and would happily meet for drinks etc. Arsenal and Fulham are always a good laugh.

cmayscmt kmayscmt surely? Aye I knew what you meant though.

Probably the same lad Alex. His brother had to get it taken out of the Benfield road shop as it was just to expensive for the clientèle around there. I'm sure it's about 8p a cup buy in Aye, John - that's him. And that's the place on Benfield Rd. Actually, wor sis told me his brother runs the shop now but John was telling me how little it cost him per cup. 8p might have been it. That's how much Costa charged him btw, before anyone starts Gemmill and Renton silenced there. Not at all, that's the cost of the base product, not taking into account staff wages, rent, taxes, utilities etc, etc. Fuck me, it's not brain surgery. Parky's point being that the municipal (?) authorities in Hamburg help the coffee shop owner with these costs, making it canny profitable. If the amount of thriving coffee shops in Berlin is anything to go by, sounds like a plan to me.

Make it 10p then. Wasnt the point that the coffee itself was that price anyway, not the average cost of the shop? I.e the raw ingredient cost of a cup of coffee. I'd say 10p was about right.

Owning a coffee shop in Hamburg is a different proposition to one in Manchester i would have thought.

Drive thru off licenses next no doubt. Drive thru Boulangeries. I shit you not. Nowt wrong with a bit of convenience though. The drive thru ATM is class. Arse to Mouth? Aye he talks out of his so its highly convenient.

Only if you can explain why 'bacon bits' in a subway shop look like they've been coloured in red with a felt tip pen.

Your biscuits are for a start

Its 'other-worldy'. Its what i imagine food on the Starship Enterprise tastes like. Fucking hell, if after another 500 years or whatever the best they can come up with is Subway I worry for my descendants. Laboratory food. Its the future.

This contest is over. Late entries are not accepted. To continue the music talent theme, this is a bit like that bloke turning down the Beatles because he thought guitar music was on its way out. Not really. It would be like the Beatles turning up for their X Factor audition at St James the day after Simon and the crew left. Do you expect us to get your talent-show analogies? Well I don't think they're particularly difficult, let's put it that way. Are you struggling then? Anyway its more like the Beatles turning up late for the contest after Journey South have been declared the winner by a male Sharon Osbourne lookalike. Tbf.

You mean they're shit? Maybe i should fuck off to NO then I've got the shit thread angle covered tbh.

If anyone off this board ever goes to Florence they have to promise to go to Nerbone's to try one of those. I think we have a winner. Parma ham and mozzarella? Please!

Thats a more holistic approach to sandwich love tbh.

Pannino con bollito Buried amid the seemingly endless stalls in the central market in Florence is a place everyone wishes was within a block from where they work. Because if you could eat lunch there every day, you would. It's Florence's answer to Katz's deli, and it's delicious. It's the panino con bollito served at Nerbone in the Mercato Centrale in Firenze. Panino con bollito is a boiled beef sandwich that's bagnato — dipped in the beef's own juices just before serving. And it's delicious. The market has so many attractive stalls from produce to dried fruit to vinegars and oils and incredible butchers, that it would be easy to miss Nerbone. It's on the first floor and off to one side of the market. But luckily we knew not to rest until we found it. We could see the rest of the market after we got our sandwiches. The stall is crowded. No surprise. Nobody knew we essentially flew halfway around the world to eat this sandwich. And even if they did I'm not sure they would have let us through more easily. We had to buy a ticket paying for our sandwich and then fight our way to the counter to place an order. After the order was placed we sat back and wondered what a boiled beef sandwich dipped in its own juices would taste like. The bun was thick and hearty, a little baguette-like with flour on its surface. The beef was sliced coarsely to a medium thickness. It was placed on the big baguette. They didn't cover it until they topped the beef with a couple of dollops of a red and green sauce respectively. And just before the sandwich was completed the entire bottom was dipped in the juice from the boiled beef. I was definitely worried that the sandwich would end up soggy. It wasn't. Not only wasn't it soggy but the entire thing defied expectations. The sandwich is extremely warm and filling, and just as you're enjoying this Florentine comfort food your tongue happens on some of the sauces and your mouth is filled with sparks. The red sauce is sharp and hot and the green (mashed garlic, basil, and onion) is unbelievably bright. The sandwich ends up being a warm, hearty, comforting, exciting, kickass bite of perfection. Yum, yum, and yum.

Is he serious?

Is that a hairstyle or a sandwich though?

Acceptable on a Danish stlye 'open' sandwich tbf. Do you see the word "open" in the thread title? Don't make me have to take you to task too. Fair point but you also wouldnt see the word 'open' next to the word sandwich in a danish café / restaurant. You would technically only see the word sandwich. However, the word 'beans' would be missing generally.
