the greatest sandwich of all...







































Well, currently, anyway.

My own creation, a kind of ploughman's lunch on a sandwich, it's a thing of beauty in both flavour and appearance. It's fundamentally British but tips it's hat to our European cheese-making neighbours with the inclusion of a couple of slices of Emmental (this sandwich would be impossible if we left Europe) and as such has a continental flourish that sandwich connoisseurs everywhere will appreciate. Never before has this array of ingredients been assembled (except for the last time that somebody I don't know about it made one of these) and is thus a sandwich for the contemporary lunch-taker. The apple has to be Cox's, the ham oak-smoked and there should be enough English mustard (Colman's only please) to give your nose that burning pain-pleasure sensation which feels as though someone has napalmed your olfactories.

Go and make one now and stuff your face off.
