Sandwich test?

I was a bit puzzled watching Market Kitchen this evening when they
came to a sandwich test. The three testers (Tana, Diana and Jun) got
stuck into three or four different sandwiches and gave their
preferences. Then they had the audience preferences. But they didn't
show the sandwich makers. I started to realise that the sandwiches had
been bought from supermarkets. Is that possible?

In the UK, yes. Soggy cardboard bread in plastic wrapping, with fillings
chosen to appeal to the lowest common denominator & having a shelf life
measured in days.

To be avoided if at all possible.

The Sainsbury near my work does nicer sarnies than any of the local
sandwich shops; as an example, their "Taste The Difference" range
contains some really nice, really fresh, sometimes quirky choices.

As in so many things, people often get snobby for no good reason, or
indeed without having actually seen or tried what's out there of late.

But ... but ... but ...

Whole wheat bread. Prawns. Mayonnaise. Presented in a package which
is so-o-o-o proletarian. The ultimate comfort food.

The Marks & Sparks prawn sandwich.
