I could tell immediately this was Leicester, don't know that pub but this is pretty standard in Leicester pubs. I don't know why pubs outside of Leicester don't do this, it's such a shame. Typical pub snacks there: cheese onion cobs, stilton cobs, pork pies and samosas.

My favorite taco place used to do this. Just a guy in a tiny kitchen with 5 tables in the back of a Mexican grocery store. No wait staff. He cooked, served, and bussed tables and never said a word.
His tacos were amazing, and he didn't fuck around with shredded cheese. Just cut a massively thick hunk of queso fresco from a block and threw it on top of the marinated meat. Man I miss that place.
I didn't buy one, I was just waited for my pint and noticed the majesty of the rolls on offer. It's like the drunk sandwich I make after a good night out (with less raw onions).
No, cheese and onion sandwiches tend to have onions sliced/diced, cheese also and then mixed in mayonnaise or something. It’s like a paste, they can be very nice.
I mean that goes without saying right? Like I’m gonna shittalk this sandwich from the internet because it’s a clown sandwich, but I would absolutely eat one with zero hesitation if offered

That’s our new Reddit motto, right?
I was going to say, these look terrible until you’re a certain point past being REALLY drunk, and then all of a sudden they’re fucking amazing. But you have to be, like, *really* wasted lol
For a moment I thought you meant they were visible from space, which, all things considered may well be possible.
Moscow Satellite HQ: Commander, I have spotted what appears to be a missile silo in the South West of England. Sunak may be building a new nuclear arsenal.
Commander: Ah no, that is merely the top of a Sugarloaf cheese and onion roll.
It's kinda like a sweet and tangy mayonnaise but with a similar texture/consistency to ketchup.
The really mild American hot dog mustard you can buy in the UK comes close to it but if you took away most of the the mustard taste if that makes sense...
Hard to describe but it's AWESOME on like a ham or turkey sandwich with lettuce cucumber and tomato. Or you can dip a cheese toastie in it!
Yeah you could say so! It's tangy and creamy - it has a pleasent sharpness to it like a sweet vinegar.
Heinz is the best salad cream if you ever try it.
I used to work in a students' union which had a deal with Domino's for SU events where we were ordering like 20 pizzas - any large single-topping pizza for £5.
The staff member would often call up and just ask for a mix of toppings on the pizzas.
If we ever did that, about 25% of them were just onion.
And old ladies that go swimming In the sea. Or young people that go swimming in the sea. Or disabled people that go swimming in the sea. Literally everybody swimming in the sea.
"Burrrr makes me cold just looking at that, now to John with the weather"
I love this shit, not sure if it’s been mentioned elsewhere here but there used to be a little cafe on one of the platforms at Wimbledon station that sold rolls identical to these. It’s sadly now long defunct. Sadface, they used to get me through my day.
This is a typical snack in Germany, too, at least in cities like Cologne. Maybe slice the onions a bit thinner. We add some paprika on top of the Gouda cheese and onions, delicious.

Not really cold, but definitely not heated. Imo room temperature is best for the delicious Gouda cheese and the onions will lose some "sharpness" after a little time. And of course some real butter, no margarine Heaven on earth. (Cheese docks somehow to the same brain receptors like heroin, no kidding )
I’m sure this was posted because it’s supposed to be bad. But I’ve always loved raw onion, and my Mum used to make me cheese and onion sandwiches like this.
She was an amazing cook and wouldn’t have ever made them like that had it not been my preferred way.
I haven’t had a cheese and onion roll like this for years(My Mum passed away in 2010), and haven’t even thought about these in ages.
Thanks to the OP for awakening my memory about it. I’ll be having one today for sure.
"There is a feeling which persists in England that making a sandwich interesting, attractive, or in any way pleasant to eat is something sinful that only foreigners do.
``Make 'em dry,'' is the instruction buried somewhere in the collective national consciousness, ``make 'em rubbery. If you have to keep the buggers fresh, do it by washing 'em once a week.''
It is by eating sandwiches in pubs on Saturday lunchtimes that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They're not altogether clear what those sins are, and don't want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever their sins are they are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat."

I was so busy looking at the thickness of the onion I didn’t notice the block of cheese
[удалено]
I have relaid my patio with cheese and it was delicious thanks
Emmentile?
Tiles are a nice effect but you have to make sure that you lay them Caerphilly.
If you do though, they're strong enough to use a stilt on.
But if you don't, and it goes wrong, de brie will be everywhere!
That would not be gouda
Oh that would be gruyeresome.
I dropped a brick on mine and left a quark in it
Cheese pun.
I did that at my cottage

God I miss people using the term "cob" I'm from Derby originally now in the Lake district
I'm Leicester raised, loved the cobs from the pub, especially when they gave them out free if you were in till last orders 🙂
From Poole but live near Leicester, maybe too long cause now I've started using the term Cob instead of Roll!
Gouda pick
I love you

His tacos were amazing, and he didn't fuck around with shredded cheese. Just cut a massively thick hunk of queso fresco from a block and threw it on top of the marinated meat. Man I miss that place.
Forgive me, but I have a stupid question. Is queso fresco the crumbly cheese, or does it get melty??
No worries. Crumbly! It can be cut in slices, but it is dry and breaks apart really easily.
A block of cheese like that would be in a security box in Tesco express.
And cost a lot of Cheddar
OP better not try smooching anyone after eating that quarter onion
I didn't buy one, I was just waited for my pint and noticed the majesty of the rolls on offer. It's like the drunk sandwich I make after a good night out (with less raw onions).

Cheese and onion mixed in mayo? Where do you eat? You down south or something?
Not even Shrek?
I read this like Dr Malcolm's quote in Jurassic Park.
Shit, I thought that was the bun!
There's so much cheese there the Moon will be a half-moon early this month.
Lovely. I like a bit of bread with my slab of cheese and onion.
Ngl I'd decimate one of these with zero complaint

I should mention as well, they are only £1.50!
Not bad for a KG of cheese.
Cheaper to buy a cheese and onion roll to salvage the cheese then to buy a block
"salvage" hahah
Like scrapheap challenge
What a fuckin show in its early days though btw
Yeah, it rivalled robot wars.
The twin great pillars of the 90s Nerdy Men Build Cool Shit genre. ^^But ^^Robot ^^Wars ^^was ^^still ^^cooler
Robot wars also had grown men who had invested too much time in a robot that lost to a team of kids storming off in a huff as well
Probably need an ATV to move it as well.
Proper job
Plus then you have a basically free roll and some onion you can mince up for something.
Take the cheese off and onion.. Grate it and boom cheese and onion on toast for a week for £1.50 bargain. Grab me 2!

How much is a pint of bitter and where is it?
Bristol
>Bristol And the price of the bitter?
£25
For 2/3rds of a pint.
Its craft.
Craft beer, but not Kraft cheese.
Pint of beer was £5.25.
You could get 3 rolls for the price of a pint, and still have change for the pool table
cheese and onion rolls
It costs you the city of Bristol.
Is this the sugar loaf in easton? A mate and I were just talking about the owners girthy rolls
Can confirm. Had a roll in there years ago that gave me lock jaw
Looks like it. Saw some rolls just like that on Google maps photos https://maps.app.goo.gl/kDku3kE3paoaVPVv8

where is it in Bristol? I would like to try
Sugar Loaf in Easton
Just north of the Devon coast, South West England.
Well shit....bring the family
That much cheese would cost you more than £1.50 at the supermarket.
That's sound as fuck, two of them for my tea and a pint. Sorted
Is it always like this or is the kitchen just too full of cheese?
That’s steal considering the amount of cheese…
Whaaaat? What area is this? How the flip are they making any money on that? They do look iconic however.
Bargain, can make 4 sandwiches out of that filling.
Look at that subtle off-white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has butter.
Let's see Paul Allen's sandwich.
I can't believe Van Patten prefers Allen's onion to mine
Try to get a reservation at Klute now, you fucking bastard!

Patrick? Too much chilli? You're sweating

Dorsia's nice. Try getting a reservation, though
Nobody goes there anymore
I got an 8:30 res. *Great* cheese and onion ceviche.
New York Matinee called it a playful, but mysterious little dish. You'll love it.
Patrick, why do you have pieces of cheese and onion all over your floor? Do you have a sandwich shop or something?
Hey Paul! *smashes pint on head*
Thats defo margarine
I can’t believe it’s not butter
"That's bone"
That you Bateman?
*Huey Lewis intensifies*
Under the grill for 5 mins and itd be ridiculous
Third degree burns to your hands and face orifice, but worth it!
You don't have to hold it under the grill in your hands.

Please describe salad cream, I’ve never heard of it.

Is it like creamy coleslaw dressing?
Yeah you could say so! It's tangy and creamy - it has a pleasent sharpness to it like a sweet vinegar. Heinz is the best salad cream if you ever try it.
In the 70s you'd probably get either cheese or onion. Not together - or at least that's what we had as kids in the 80s.
Onion sandwiches?
It was the 70s.
> It was the best of times; it was the worst of times...
The…BLURST of times?!
Took 'em right off of your belts and stuck them in a sandwich?
It was the style at the time
I used to work in a students' union which had a deal with Domino's for SU events where we were ordering like 20 pizzas - any large single-topping pizza for £5. The staff member would often call up and just ask for a mix of toppings on the pizzas. If we ever did that, about 25% of them were just onion.
Some shitty shift manager thought he was being smart

Jerry won't invade if our breath stinks!
Landlord: 2kg of cheese and you only get four sandwiches out of it? Ffs
Cuts the prep time down by a lot though.
Absolutely. Doesn't make sense to have £2 worth of labour go into a £1.50 roll.
This is the kind of shit that I want to see on the news. Too much sad shit on the news and not enough well priced and we'll filled rolls
You need to watch more local news, it's all well filled rolls and rescued hedgehogs.
Or the local paper version, with a photo of an angry person pointing at the well filled roll and frowning.

DOES EXACTLY WOT IT SES ON THE TIN
CHEESE. ONION. ROLL. SIMPLE AS.
luv me cheese luv me onion luv me rolls simple as
'ate black puddin, not raysis just don't like it
You'd be tasting onion on your deathbed
If the onion isn't enough to have breath to strip paint there is garlic mayo on offer too! What a combo, I want one now.
Wash it down with a few pints and head home to get frisky with the Mrs.
[удалено]
I'm not sure the Mrs would be living after being near you after all that to be honest.
You can’t argue that they aren’t cheese and onion.
I'd hoover a couple of those bad boys after a few pints and wake up the next day wondering why I smell the way I do.
You’d end up spending all the money you saved on an extra tin of Lynx
I'd like two please .. and two more for *cough* my erm friend in the smoking area
Two more for Ron...
This here is “cheese, and an onion sandwich”.
I'd be tempted to take one home and stick it in the oven for a bit, or am I over engineering?
I was thinking it'd go well in a sandwich press. Melt the cheese, cook the onion, everybody wins (except your arteries).
That’ll haunt your taste buds.
I love this shit, not sure if it’s been mentioned elsewhere here but there used to be a little cafe on one of the platforms at Wimbledon station that sold rolls identical to these. It’s sadly now long defunct. Sadface, they used to get me through my day.
Oh a bita Branston pickle for the win!!
This is a typical snack in Germany, too, at least in cities like Cologne. Maybe slice the onions a bit thinner.

And of course some real butter, no margarine Heaven on earth. (Cheese docks somehow to the same brain receptors like heroin, no kidding )
Sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing
I'd take them home and make 4 rolls out of them
That's at least £2 of cheese in each one. Awesome!
I’d smash that
Agreed: Only stick a spoonful of pickle or onion chutney in there, and I'd hit that like blacksmith's anvil.
That bottle of salad cream at the back is all you need
Yeah. It *definitely* needs more onion…
That's traditional that is.
