The humble sandwich used to be a simple snack of convenience, typically for a picnic or pack up, but now sandwiches have evolved into a standalone dish in their own right.
Sad things, cheese sandwiches, especially in their most basic form. Most would add a garnish: pickle, tomato and onion are the most popular. Cowards. The point of a cheese sandwich is its beigeness. This is fuel, not food. Consoling sad corporate workers at their desks. Rows upon rows of sandwiches on Tesco shelves: ‘Cheese – no mayonnaise.’
If I could go back in time to one moment in history, it would be to 20 July 1969 at 21:17 BST, when Neil Armstrong stepped on the surface of the moon. I mean, just look at Walter Cronkite’s face. But given a second whirl in the time machine, I’d opt for 3:10am on 2 May 1997, when Michael Portillo lost his seemingly unlosable Enfield Southgate seat.
