The North’s Favourite Sandwich – What’s Between Your Slices?
by Northern Life
With around 12 billion consumed each year in the UK, the humble sandwich is clearly a popular choice. It’s unpretentious, creative and accessible. It can be as simple as cheese butty or as extravagant as Wild Woody’s Chill & Grill’s record breaking sandwich that weighed in at a hearty 5,440 lbs. We love a good sandwich here at Northern Life, and we know from experience that an individual’s favourite doesn’t necessarily correlate with choices on the shelf. We’ve seen some pretty interesting creations in our office!
We want to know what is the north’s favourite sandwich.
You may be interested to know that the most expensive sandwich ever made is claimed by fellow northerner, chef Tom Bridge whose Lancaster Cheese Sandwich was sold on eBay in 2006 for £345. The buyer was clearly a fan of a good sarnie.
