I love your recipes and your instructions. However, I really love your stories and reminisces. Thank you!

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Thanks very much Vickie! xo

I especially love that you are just yourself, Marie. No frills, no cutesy antics, no catchy phrases or tricks, no fancy whatevers, like so many cooks on KZbin. You are yourself, homey and comfortable, talk about the food and show how to make it, mission accomplished. This is why I've followed your blog and Facebook page for so many years. You are extra-special, just by being you. Thank you for being someone I can relate to.

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Thank you so much for saying so. I really appreciate it! I don't know how to be anyone but myself. I think being yourself is the most honest thing to do. xo

[@pipsmom]

Okay. Start off with a couple of little quibbles. First, you said something about boring us. Don't do that. Don't put yourself down in any way. Second, I wondered why you did not add the ingredients as you were talking about them. It seemed to make more sense than going over them twice. All right, done with that. This is one of the most interesting, well put-together with no extraneous chit chat videos I think I have ever seen. You told us about yourself, then you just made the food. There was no 'come on, get on with it' moments at all. I really enjoyed watching this and learned a lot about the best way to make sandwiches. I am never that precise, and now I will be. If you keep on as you have begun, I anticipate a lot of helpful, interesting, well done videos. I am impressed. Been reading your blog for a long time and now a whole new experience to enjoy. Well done!

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Thank you so much Pipsmom! All constructive help is much appreciated! I find it very helpful! Thanks also for your very kind words re the video. I am just me, and I hope to get a bit better and perhaps even more comfortable with each video I do. Expect more! Hopefully I will never be boring. FIngers crossed! xo

[@Sdragnasty]

Really enjoyed this - very calming and homey. Had forgotten about saving bread bags LOL My mum saved them for going to the beach, and everything stayed nice and together for us kids (even the P B & J) 😅⛱️

[@MarieAliceJoan]

I have a whole drawer full of sandwich bags! haha That's me! xo

[@wannabetrucker7475]

I've never had curry, or marmite.....very interesting.... Our sammies as kids were very basic ..coming from a not wealthy rural area: peanut butter on white bread, and mayonnaise sandwiches.

[@MarieAliceJoan]

My mother was quite thrifty as well. She would make a tin of tuna last for two days for three children's sandwiches, lol

lord Montague didn't have toasted bread in his sandwich just a little bit of info apart from that you got it right 👍

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Thank you for the update on that. The article I had read said that it was toasted!

[@virginiatruyens1687]

Nothing better than M&S sandwiches! Loved watching this! My British grandparents used to make us ‘sarnies’ all the time!

[@MarieAliceJoan]

I love any kind of sarnie! Thank you so much!

[@MaryCombs-v2c]

Well done!! Just be yourself and keep going. That’s what we want to see not a professional with camera crews, makeup etc. A lady from south Alabama where I’m from started doing a blog to show her young church members how to make biscuits, dumplings and real southern food- lots of ya’lls , mistakes, laughs, even tours of her yard, visits from family and friends. I still watch her but love what you do too. Two of my favorite places on earth are England and Alabama and ya’ll are my favorite cooks. In my coronation chicken, I use Greek yogurt and a few nuts, otherwise just the same as yours.

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Thanks so much Mary! I am afraid I will never be sophisticated! That is just not me. I am unapologetically who I am. I cannot pretend to be anyone else! I would love to watch your church lady. She sounds fabulous! xo

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Thank you so much! xo

[@alangeorgebarstow]

Good recipe, Marie. As an Englishman I can tell you that Coronation chicken - which was invented for the coronation, in 1953, of the late HM Queen Elizabeth II - would not have had any rocket on it. It would have had the much tastier and far more nutritious watercress. Rocket, thankfully, was not widely available in 1953.👍🏻

[@MarieAliceJoan]

I did mention watercress, but watercress is not available where I live, but rocket is. Thanks very much for your input! Much appreciated.

I know it isn't as fashionable any more, but I enjoy hosting the odd afternoon tea now and then, with a variety of sandwiches (crusts removed, to my dog's delight as he often gets one or two!) and a variety of daintily-sized sweets. You have given me some lovely suggestions of how to up my sandwich game!

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Love the apron. This reminds me of a song, I think by Fried Penner "Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine, I love sandwiches, I eat them all the time, I eat them for my dinner, and I eat them for lunch, if I had a 100 sandwiches I'd eat them all at once." Used to be a favourite sone to sing with kids. It is probably on youtube somewhere and you can hear the tune. Cheese and pickle sandwich, reminds me of a plowman's lunch. Love Branston pickle, always have a jar in the fridge. Enjoy those sandwiches.

[@MarieAliceJoan]

I love me some Fred Penner! Used to watch him a lot with my children when they were small, and my brother in law was actually one of his producers. I love a good Ploughman's lunch. So tasty! Thanks so much Linda! You are a great friend! xoxo

[@MarieAliceJoan]

You really can't beat an M&S sandwich. They do everything well imo! xo

[@junebenson01]

Hi Marie, just came across your video and I've really enjoyed it, I'm in the UK and yep we definitely like our sarnies here! lol They're such a good way to have something quick when you're in a rush or just can't be bothered cooking. Mine are usually accompanied by a bag of crisps and the crisps usually end up on the sarny as well, is that something you guys do? I can't do sweet with savoury so Coronation chicken etc is a no no for me, I know lots of people love it but I just can't eat fruit with meat etc. Anyway I'll stop waffling on and have a look at another of your vids. Thank you 😊

[@MarieAliceJoan]

Hi June! I love crisps in a sarnie! You can waffle on all you like! I love getting comments and feedback! Have a lovely day! xo

I've read about cheese and pickle sandwiches in books and always wondered what the "pickle" was. Do you have any recommendations for substitutions for those of us in the States? Enjoying your new videos!

[@MarieAliceJoan]

I don't think there is a pickle that really compares to Branston in the States, but you could probably use Piccali, or sweet mustard relish. I think both of those would be good. What you want is a crunchy pickle relish that is a bit sharp, a bit spicy and a bit sweet, but not overly so, if you know what I mean! I hope this helps! And thank you! xo
