sandwiches are the food of the devil.

NO ONE makes good ones any more. There's always more bread than filling.

And I have been known to bring my own sandwich kit to work, so that it can be assembled and eaten immediately: fresh bread, buttered, sandwich filling, rocket leaves, etc... Anal, I know!

Aw Granny... If only we'd met a few (

When I was little I used to take all the fillings out... And eat the bread and butter...
