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.
My apologies, you are right. I found the original post, and it's a place in Bristol selling similar rolls. The Reddit link is here
You're worried about that? Looking at that much cheese gives me a hemhroid
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
Your negative attitude is 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.
Tim Stillman lives in England and was on his way to a football match in England, so it's probably not NY Cheddar.
Looks like he's in a pub, so probably whatever cheddar Brakes are knocking out these days.
Either way, there's too much of it.
i would guess Leicester
no it'd be a dark orange
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.
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!
Obviously the shit-talking is pretty funny, but pull your head out of your arse if you think you're better than my sandwich
dafuq you talking about? that looks delicious

i don't know what that means, is this something the young people say?
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.
For goodness sake, it’s a cheese and onion roll, not a cob or a bap.
It's a cob round here. You can take your rolls down south where they belong.
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.)
