The World’s Greatest Sandwiches

Today we're embarking on an epic quest to uncover the world's greatest sandwiches. So, grab your napkins and loosen that belt because we're about to dive mouth-first into a world of flavour.

Our first stop is right here in the UK, where we've taken the beloved full English breakfast and squeezed it between two slices of bread. The full English breakfast sandwich is a masterpiece. Picture this: bacon, sausage, fried eggs, black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans, all snuggled inside a warm, toasty bun. It's like a morning hug for your taste buds. Let’s argue over whether it’s tomato ketchup or brown sauce to finish it off?!

A short hop across the pond to land in the Big Apple. The Reuben sandwich is New York's gift to the world. Stacked high with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, this sandwich has so much attitude that it could star in its own reality show. And let's not forget the rye bread - the unsung hero that ties it all together. If you haven't tried one, you're 'rye'fully missing out!

In France, they know how to do sophistication, even when it comes to sandwiches. The Croque Monsieur is like a gourmet ham and cheese toastie on steroids. It's all about layers of ham and creamy béchamel sauce, topped with gruyère cheese and baked to golden perfection. If the Mona Lisa were a sandwich, it would be a Croque Monsieur.

Let's take a detour to the Middle East and celebrate the falafel wrap. It's a pocket of pure joy, filled with crunchy falafel balls, fresh veggies, and drizzled with tahini sauce. Eating one is like attending a flavourful fiesta in your mouth. Plus, it's perfect for those days when you want to feel virtuous about your choice of fast food.

And for dessert lovers, the ice cream sandwich is the undisputed heavyweight champion. It's a delightful marriage of cookies and ice cream, making it a heavenly handheld treat. And if you've never tried a warm cookie ice cream sandwich, well, my friend, you're in for a treat that will melt your heart faster than the ice cream inside!
