British Sandwich Week 2008!
That’s right people; this week is British Sandwich Week 2008! One of the country’s favourite foods is being celebrated for a whole week. With the weather being so freakishly warm of late we need no persuasion here to swap our daily soup intake for a refreshingly cool sandwich.
The British Sandwich Association is running Sandwich Week from May 11th-17th and are encouraging small/independent and larger sandwich bars to use this week to reward their most loyal sandwich eating customers and just generally get very excited about sandwiches.
The British Sandwich Association has recently had a website re-vamp and it is looking pretty swish and some of the new features are rather cool. They have a whole host of sandwich recipes to inspire you if you are feeling bored of your existing ones. They have broken them down into helpful ingredient based categories, making it easier for you to get to a good recipe, fast.
They also have sandwich of the month - this month’s is an alternative take on the ‘classic’ smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. April’s sandwich is salmon, sour cream and chive dip bagel – yum! If you fancy getting the scoop on what the celebrities munch on at the moment then check out the ‘Celebrity Sandwiches’ section. With offerings from Anthea Turner and Tamzin Outhwaite you can’t go far wrong.
Anyway, I hope this inspiration enough for you all to swap your salads for a sarnie this week to show your respect the nation’s favourite lunch food.
