So what’s your favourite sandwich?
Bastards! I’m on it!
I’m excited to see this. I also got the feeling it was a loaded question because there a a ton of classics not represented: bacon butties, chip butties, cheese and onion, ham and mustard, sausage, baked bean toasties, cucumber, jam, peanut butter. I guess they could be lower ranking but I doubt that about the first few at least.
Misread your list and wondered deeply at ‘cucumber jam’. Not prepared to try it on the off-chance, mind you.
Sugar butties.
