Thinkin if you have to come to the message boards on trade me, may be time, you moved on. lol.

Chicken and avocado is my favourite sammy.

When my daughter was a lot younger I always wished cafe's would offer just plain old marmite or jam sandwiches. They wouldnt have to be pre-made, it doesnt take long to whip up a plain sandwich for a toddler.

Good luck :o)

Market research is wise business practice, not an indication of how busy a person is or how well a business is doing.
datoofairy, Nov 24, 6:11pm
Maybe put a 'Suggest A Sandwich'box on the counter so your customers can tell you what they want. You get some new ideas that way too :o)

I like a simple lettuce, beetroot, tomato, cucumber, grated carrot and cheese, mayo, ham or chicken or roast beef/corned beef on vogels original bread. . yummy... .

I used to go to a "selecta-a-sandwich"-
bar in Queens Arcade years ago and my fav was very basic: tuna fish & mayo with beetroot on good quality brown bread.

I've also noticed that people like crunchy things in their sandwiches like sprouts, lettuce, cucumber and hate 'soggy' sandwiches.

Good like Mike!

Used to help a friend who had a lunch bar and his best seller was cream cheese and date.

Darlingmole. . wonder if that was the one I used to go to? ! ! . . Was that the one that had vogels bread sliced lengthways and you could have hot roast beef sammies loaded with coleslaw, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese etc... yum! :)

Doubt this will help but here goes.

For my lunch today:

Two Wholemeal rolls sliced almost through along top and buttered
Avocado (generous overlapping) slices laid along one side
Onetin of baby sardines (King Oscar in olive oil) laid whole along side
Mayonaise along side
Freshly ground black pepper

This was absolutely delicious. I ate two!

Hey mike. . good luck with your venture... some things to try...
cheese and onion toasted rollups. .
curried mashed egg...
has always been a popular. .
french stick cut into 4... make a roast beef . . a chook... and or a pork for sammies but also to put into these buttered french rolls...
beef then raw onion and spoon on a brown gravy... can do pork with apple sauce. . chicken with apricot sauce. . make these as required wrapped in serviette and serve hot. .
sloppy joes go down well...
fry up some onions till nicely browned. . set aside. . fry some mince and brown up till it's near "dry"add a mild chill sauce, the onions and mix all up. . spoon this hot into a buttered BAP bun and a slice or two of tomato on top. . season. . make these as required wrapped in serviette and serve hot. .

I like mine with lettuce, tomato, red onion, beetroot, cheese (not processed slices) and meat on brown wholegrain bread. I don't like sauces or mayo.
skata, Nov 24, 7:57pm
I like sandwiches where you can pick your own fillings, I used to work in a lunch bar and they were so popular, we had big long slices of vogels (or you could have half one if you wanted), and people had a lot of different fillings to choose from.
maxwell.inc, Nov 24, 8:07pm
thats the beauty of it. . pick your own

what I hate most when buying things such as sammys is having to pull them apart and pull out all the things I either cant or wont eat, then I am left with this stuff I paid for but cant eat, it would never had even made it in to my sammy if I had chosen my own fillings lol.

How about low carb alternatives (breads pretty harsh on the human body)
twinsforus, Nov 24, 8:42pm
Chicken, mayo, red onion and avocado! ! ! !
If you do salad rolls, my suggestion there is have some on offer that don't have the sliced boiled egg on top! ! I hate having to pull it out of my roll and it always leaves its bits behind... ick.
indy95, Nov 24, 8:46pm
One of my favourites is a salad sandwich with every salad vegetable you can think of plus a little vinaigrette or very good mayo. The other is almost anything which includes smoked salmon. As a previous poster said crunch in a sandwich is also essential.
smchkn, Nov 24, 8:56pm
Beetroot, egg, lettuce, carrot, pineapple, bacon, onion, tiny bit of mayo, tomato... ... ... ... . yum
