You know when you get something stuck in your head and it’s impossible to shake off, like a bit of catchy music, the wording of a popular TV ad slogan or the first thing you need to say to the people your priests have done up the arse, well I have a thing caught that can only be resolved by experimenting.
It comes courtesy of Chili and a couple of friends…
Soup Sandwiches, are they feasible.? This has been in my head for days now and I see no chance of it going away unless I get the bread out and give it a test. There appears to be three main ways to complete this near impossible task:
1, The use of a hollowed out roll, bap or baguette but that seems like cheating as it is certainly not a sandwich in the traditional sense.
2, Sandwich toasted sarnie with the soup poured in the unsealed end and then recooked on the unsealed edge.
3, Using thick butter as a sealant and as a resistant substance to prevent leakage through the slices of bread.
Now would this all be easier using a thicker type of soup, perhaps cooked within the toasted sandwich, such as mushroom or oxtail or would it be best to use a powder soup, Cup-a-soup for instance, with less water added to be more of a paste than a soup. Interesting I think.
Now let us consider our three options in more detail.
1, A roll is a good idea, you can hollow it out, pour in the soup and eat BUT you will have to eat it on one side to prevent the soup pouring out the entrance hole you made in the first place, plus, it certainly is not a proper sarnie. Baps might be too soft and porous but a tiger roll or a hard french stick would work.
2, The toasted option would make sense, there is no need to put the soup in to begin, use one of the classic Breville style scalloping toasters and it would seal the edges perfectly, put a piece of metal or plastic to prevent one side sealing and add the soup as soon as the other sides are sorted., using thicker soup to prevent run out or slamming the lid down FAST.
3, Can you slap on some thick but more importantly COLD butter to prevent the soup splattering itself across the kitchen when you eventually pick the sarnie up.
This needs researching people.!!! Help me out here.!
On a totally different note, aren’t Status Quo fucking brilliant. All those songs, all those years, yes they sound the same if you listen to them too much but who cares.? It is really great ‘make you smile and sing’ music that never gets old. Let us have a big cheer for the Quo.! Hurrah.!!!
Thirdly on my list of things to get off my chest, Justin Lee-Collins, the new target of my lustful hate. Moyles, Blaine, Blair, Brown, Blunt (hang on what is it with me and people who have B as their last initial (last initial is that the right wording to use.?)), Goody, McCall actually if I list all the people in the world I detest then I will be here all night but suffice to say Mr J Lee-Collins of Fuckknowswhere, New Hertfordshire has joined it thanks to that bloody Barclays advert with the money birds. Piss off you beardy twonk and stop annoying me. I have never been too happy with your general appearance or voice… or sense of humour, you are around as funny as a bus driving through a queue of pensioners (actually, hehehehe). So please go away, or at least stop doing crap adverts for shitty credit card companies and banks.
Errr what’s next…? Oh yes, How close can it be in the last few F1 races now.!?! Very bad luck to the Ham, made a stupid error in Monza and then had that racing incident in Singapore, but then again Webber has had problems, Vettel has crashed out, Button has blown up, Alonso has been a big cheating twat in Germany and should fuck off, so it’s all to play for. Let’s just hope Korea goes on as planned though.!!
Think that will do me for now, enjoy your rather moist day and see you all in the bar for a drink after…

I forgot to say, I bought a copy of Rail mag yesterday for the first time in about 5 years and it made me so miserable. The lack of locos, the horrible new DMUs such as the 185s and the total mess that Network Rail is making of the country was terrible. I will stick to my good old copies from 1990 etc, where the stock list changes took up three pages, the 2EPBs were still in use and the Class 50s still blatted up and down the line near me.
