Sandwiches: A British Staple
Sandwiches are perhaps one of Britain’s simplest yet most beloved culinary offerings, with over 3.5 billion sold annually in the country. Legend has it that the creation of the modern sandwich traces back to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who invented it to facilitate eating while engrossed in gambling.
Max Halley, a renowned sandwich maker, takes this convenient meal to new heights. One of his award-winning creations—a Caesar salad sandwich—combines romaine lettuce, croutons, avocado, mayonnaise, and chicken layered between focaccia bread. The key to a delicious sandwich lies in achieving a balance of flavors and textures: hot and cold, sweet and sour, crunchy and soft.
