bubith had a new thought... hows about a humble chip butty of the #summersandwich ? prebought bread, butter and oven chips! What could go wrong?
M4ryDeNovo now in possession of home grown cucumber for #summersandwich talk about perfect timing from my Italian neighbour bless him
Andyqsmith @NickiePhilbin Okay it will be a team effort, Me and @nicolarse51 both tweeting live in just aprons, from a field #summersandwich
NickiePhilbin @RedMummy I hope you have managed to finish your badger bap for #summersandwich? ( Kill it first, mind)
Andyqsmith Bread making is going well so far #summersandwich http://short.to/l8ny edwardclarke Quite concerned at all this bread making going on for #summersandwich. Shop bought just clearly won't cut it!!
Andyqsmith @edwardclarke You have to scratch bake!
edwardclarke @Andyqsmith but my #summersandwich is already photographed!!
Andyqsmith @edwardclarke Okay maybe it is a little late!. Did you buy it from Subway?
stu_art_ist @Andyqsmith Just getting a chance to catch up on tweets and pics, just how many 'BUNS' are you entering in the contest #summersandwich :))
Andyqsmith I feel I should apologise for my bottom, sorry. @nicolarse51 made me do it.NickiePhilbin @Andyqsmith Those buns need no apologisng for. Just dollop of mayo...#summersandwich
edwardclarke @NickiePhilbin #summersandwich looks like it's going to be a bumper edition!
NickiePhilbin To anyone following me but not #summersandwich, I apologise for the next 30 tweets. Can't be helped, as coming up is JUDGEMENT TIME

M4ryDeNovo <<< has G & T for #summersandwich results, well have G & T cos its that time of the day!
NickiePhilbin Darius is Canadian with Polish roots, and thoroughly enjoyed himself -fav s/wich is roast pork & onion confit.
NickiePhilbin Tip - key to a great sandwich is good quality ingredients. Kept > eye on the quality of bread, and of the meats used
NickiePhilbin > Darius Tip - less is more. Great sandwiches can be spoiled by being too busy. Now – the comments from Darius...
Chef’s competition comments
NickiePhilbin we have@M4ryDeNovo – great bread! Too bad crusts were cut. Good example of less is moreRedMummy@NickiePhilbin No mention of roadkill or badgers then?
NickiePhilbin and @Andyqsmith @nicolarse51 - prob v tasty, great marinade. Presentation not best, but looked a lot of fun!
NickiePhilbin then @Redmummy - Not too keen on presentation. looks very tasty, especially smoked salmon.maggiephilbin@NickiePhilbin Personally I liked @andyqsmith's presentation.
caalie@maggiephilbin I bet you did..!
NickiePhilbin and @edwardclarke - Pastrami looks good - this is key. Maybe too much flavour - perhaps gherkin, mustard and chilli would be enough
NickiePhilbin then @squidge1997 - you're like me in the kitchen - who needs recipes?! Very Creative and a lot of fun!
NickiePhilbin And @caalie - looks like a real sandwich! Some good flavours.
NickiePhilbin then to @annraulston - this made me laugh. More art than sandwichNickiePhilbin on to @shar13 - very nice, very creative, an interesting combination which is definitely worth trying
caalie@stu_art_ist what are you doing? it's 6pm on #summersandwich night!
NickiePhilbin then @stu_art_ist - very creative and the flavours are there. How practical is it? It needs to make it to the table..maggiephilbin @stu_art_ist Defend your sandwich!
RedMummy@maggiephilbin I'm still opting for the Homer Simpson sandwich!
NickiePhilbin so to @JimAnning - you know something about food. Great ingredients, properly put together, looks good.
NickiePhilbin then we have @bubith - this looks really great and really tastyNickiePhilbin over to @maggiephilbin - a little crazy! (sandwich not person)
NickiePhilbin next @TrinityRhapsody - Nicely done, perhaps a little fussy
NickiePhilbin then (be still my beating heart) @nickiephilbin - too many ingredients, but a great steak sandwich
NickiePhilbin the lovely @TrevorLamont - it should have been a stella! :)
maggiephilbin@NickiePhilbin What do you mean crazy? It was bloody delicious.stu_art_ist@maggiephilbin I can't Im too busy laughing... this guy was hard :))
NickiePhilbin lastly @handbagpets, best unjudged entry and best bikini
caalie@NickiePhilbin not sure if Jim's comment isn't a slur on the rest of us... #summersandwich
NickiePhilbin Darius decided to judge in two categories, fun and serious entries – or too hard to judge them against each other.
two minute pause - critique of judge - tweets *explode*
NickiePhilbin who do you think got what, want a rest for two mins to tweet before I go on?
maggiephilbin@NickiePhilbin Am just waiting to see which category he decided to put my entry in.
RedMummy@NickiePhilbin I need a couple of minutes to compose myself & mop up my tears at having my DIVINE presentation so cruelly criticised.
edwardclarke@RedMummy He's a very harsh judge! #summersandwich
RedMummy@maggiephilbin Who's in charge of ensuring next category is soup? I can do soup.
caalie@RedMummy yes, call for the next category quick before the winner decides it's summertreacle or something!
stu_art_ist@NickiePhilbin I'm exhausted after all that, not sure if tears are from laughing or stress :))
annraulston@NickiePhilbin That tweet was more than 2 minutes ago!
maggiephilbin@RedMummy Yes this is where we have to show what we are really made of and rehearse congratulatory remarks, for we have surely lost
RedMummy@maggiephilbin Am already sitting here with rictus grin in case passing Google streetcam catches me. (Muttering new & inventive swearwords).
RedMummy@edwardclarke Am mortified. Never thought I could be quite so badly upset by someone criticising my DIVINE presentation.
edwardclarke@RedMummy It was really good; the cheek of these judges!!
RedMummy@edwardclarke *clutching sides* *helpless giggling*
maggiephilbin@annraulston And you - clearly currying favour with judge with droll humour,
annraulston@maggiephilbin Absolutely! Humour key ingredient of this mad competition!
NickiePhilbin sorry, my tweet blew up, had to relaunch, not on purpose
edwardclarke@RedMummy He didn't like my innovative flavour medley either! Red cabbage needed for colour!! #summersandwich
RedMummy@NickiePhilbin Did you blow your tweet up with one of those culinary blow torches? I do SO want one of those. Not for cooking though.

M4ryDeNovo@maggiephilbin I think the judge is still trying to think up a category for some of us!
