Brit Sandwiches 
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a food snob, but I am so looking forward to buying ready-made sandwiches in Great Britain in two weeks’ time. I long for Prêt à Manger’s vegan Christmas special, and Marks & Spencer’s makes some pretty good sandwiches too. A long article about the history and the making of the British sandwich may help explain my obsession:

“The rise of the British chilled sandwich over the last 40 years has been a deliberate, astonishing and almost insanely labour-intensive achievement. The careers of men and women like Roger Whiteside have taken the form of a million incremental steps: of searching for less soggy tomatoes and ways to crispify bacon; of profound investigations into the molecular structure of bread and the compressional properties of salad. . . . British sandwich-makers are sought-after across Europe, and invited to places like Russia and the Middle East to advise on everything from packaging and production lines to mouth feel and cress.”
