I do think they're right that the footpaths and rights of way are underappreciated here. Whilst I would appreciate a proper right to roam, it would be more about being able to legally wild camp. In terms of actually getting to places there aren't that many interesting places that aren't already accessible. There's barely a field around my house that isn't crossed by a footpath. There are a loads of fantastic long wal…
What is the south west coastal path’s name? Thanks!

Well if we’re on the front page of HN discussing sandwiches, bring it on. 1. Toast one side only of two slices of fresh white bread. 2. Construct a sandwich with the untoasted sides facing out. 3. Inside the sandwich place mushed banana and a sprinkle of sugar. As you bite through you get soft, crunch, soft, crunch, soft. It’s a thing of beauty. Another weird combo is crispy bacon and marmalade. In regular toasted br…
I'm afraid, like a vampire, you've just invited me in. My recipe, marmite and lettuce sandwiches.
Spread hummus on both slices. Hummus is a great butter/cheese/mayo replacement.
Sprinkle a mix of seeds (sun flower kernels, hemp, chia, flax, sesame) on one side.
Add red beet and cabbage sauerkraut, then turkey slices, to the other side.
Slap together and eat!
My personal recipe invention strategy is to constrain my experiments to high-flavor moderate calorie superfood combination bombs with construction times in the 30-60 second range. Prep: 1. Big jar of three months worth of high nutrition seeds. 2. There is no 2. This one is a staple now, but others' tastes may differ.

You need good bread for that. Store-bought bread in the US is quite bad.
My local Walmart has about 100 different breads in the bread section - too much for a single aisle. Even the Aldi, known for having just a single option for everything, has about 15 different breads. I'm sorry if your options are bad, but don't claim that the entire US sucks.

#47In Branston Pickle, the third word, "Relish", is silent. So silent that it is omitted from the label.
* their recipe is probably: "1. Dump bag of sugar in bottle of vinegar. Veg? Haha, we don't use expensive vegetables here, every little counts you know!"

Hang on, is that chips or crisps? As in pommes frites or Walkers?
