Sandwiches Corner

We may live in era of credit crunch fear, teen knife gang horror and terrorist…er…terror. Fear not though – because we have sandwiches.

How many times in average day, say, on the journey from home to the office, or perhaps between the local graveyard and the shed one might keep at the allotment for storing body parts, do you think the opportunity to purchase a sandwich presents itself?

I have no idea you might say. There’s that ropey selection of cellophane wrapped oddities at the fridge in the corner shop (next to the Special Brew - one for the journey in, one for the way back). Numerous exorbitant train station cafes. Vending machines (yes, vending machines). Add that to the explosion of bread snack vendors dotting our high streets like sesame seeds on a grimy, piss stained baguette – plus the fact that, incredibly, even McDonald’s describe their range of heart attacks in a bun as ‘sandwiches’ - and it’s clear that the mighty sandwich is on our minds and in our faces most of the time, whether we like it or not.

For any reading McDonald's Team Members, the sandwich is the one on the left.

Yes, this is surely the golden age of what seems like a never-ending succession of evermore exotic sandwich stuffings. Yet one potentially explosive combination seems to have gone almost criminally unexploited; namely that of Chicken and Egg.

What could be more delicious than bone dry flakes of chicken arse, delicately tossed in rancid egg mayonnaise? They begin life as one, what could be more natural than to end it together, in a vacuum packed, vomit inducing embrace that sells for £3.50 to intrepid office workers? Why not take advantage of the Sandwiches Corner Family Meal Deal, and get a 12-inch Chicken and Egg Panini, 4 Beef Milkshakes and 15g bag of Potato flavour crisps for just £9.99?

Perhaps the problem lies in no sandwich purveyor having yet managed to crack the dilemma of which ingredient should come first, chicken or egg. It’s a tricky one.
