"It consists of a burger patty (and listen, let's get rid of the word patty' while we're about it, shall we? Why? Because it's viscerally hateful, that's why), roast turkey breast, stuffing, a pig in a blanket, spiced red cabbage, cranberry sauce and turkey gravy. Stop it. Stop it now. Stop with fancy sandwiches because stop with pretending sandwiches are proper food."
"We have been without one for several months because the previous one broke. Out of warranty, obviously, but well before I reckoned it should have and therefore well before I would allow us to buy a new one. So it's been stovetop stuff only no sandwiches, of course, though I will permit toast for breakfast and smashed avocado with poached egg etc additions at lunchtime until I felt its dues would have been paid."
The fetishisation of sandwiches is rejected, especially seasonal or luxury versions. A Harrods 29 sandwich combines a burger patty, roast turkey breast, stuffing, a pig in a blanket, spiced red cabbage, cranberry sauce and turkey gravy. Cold, handheld food is dismissed as not proper food and as a temporary substitute until a hot meal is available. Paying 29 for such a sandwich is called foolish unless extra value is hidden beneath the condiments or accompanied by a substantial hot dish. A new oven restores roast chicken, gammon and boulangere potatoes, reviving joy in hot cooking.
