Yesterday Tory leader Kemi Badenoch claimed that sandwiches weren't real food but PM Keir Starmer disagreed and said they were a British tradition...

Who do you agree with?

If you were going to impress a date with a sandwich what would you make them?...

I'm not sure how anyone can say bread with a filling isn't real but 🤷‍♀️.

If I was going to impress a date with a sandwich I'd make a ham, salad and pickle sandwich with homemade bread.

I would say that sandwiches are indeed real food, brother Åsh †.

I would ask my date what their favourite filling was and recreate it to next level, with a twist.

I guess it depends on the context, if a child was given nothing else then it probably isn’t real food

I'd even put a little paper flag in with the ingredients written on it. Right next to the cheese and pineapple hedgehog 🤣

A sandwich can contain cheese, meat, egg, tuna, salad etc. Surely this is real food which could easily sustain a child

Ash! 🥰 It's a little festive gift.

Of course sandwiches are a real food. I wouldn't say they're dinner but they're definitely food.

If I wanted to impress my date... oh! I'd do a sourdough ciabatta roll filled with medium rare steak, mushrooms, homemade chimichurri and some shoestring fries (also homemade). And some kind of side salad. Lambs lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots... that kind of thing.

If they're vegan/veggie/not feeling meat, roasted butternut squash so it's deliciously cara_elised instead of the steak.

Mmmmm a warming porridge sandwich before work, I’ll try that.

I love sandwiches but wanted my children to sit and chat at the table before and after school and sandwiches were often taken away to consume.

I’m moderation like anything it’s perfect

That goes for every single type of food imaginable - if they were given nothing but caviar and lobster that wouldn't count as real food either.

I reckon you could hit more of your dietary needs with a range of sandwich fillings than the majority of other lunch options.

Sandwiches are real food, but I have a feeling that we're missing context.

Is this something to do with processing? If you're looking at a sandwich from the context of processing, then it's not "real" food because the definition of "real" is "taken off a tree or plant without being processed ".

I suppose it depends on context.

Her comment about liking a bit of steak reminded me of the famous Spitting Image/Maggie sketch.

"Would you like to order Sir ?"

"I'll have the steak."

"How would you like it cooked ?"

"Raw please".

"And what about the vegetables ?"

"Oh....they'll have the same."

It is a food, but she lives in a different dimension where sandwiches are a type of cake the masses eat.
