British iconic culinary invention: sandwiches


Are you looking for ways to make lockdown days different and stop them merging into one? We are all for creative and inventive ways to make our stay at home time a bit more exciting. So why not to take inspiration from British Sandwich Week?

British Sandwiches

British Sandwich Week is a week-long celebration of quite possibly the most iconic British culinary invention, the Sandwich.

According to a survey cast by the Daily Telegraph In May 2019, the nation’s favourite sandwich was announced as cheese and ham ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/features/votes-nations-favourite-sandwich-revealed-chosen/)
