Be it breakfast, mid-day snacks, evening munchies, or even dinner, sandwiches can never disappoint you in any way.
Filled with healthy veggies and finger-licking sauces, there are many sandwich variants all around the world.
Having started as a coincidence in the 18th century, when an English aristocrat named John Montagu, Count of Sandwich IV, was at a card game, and to avoid getting his fingers dirty, asked for a piece of meat between two slices of bread – you can easily customise this snack by experimenting with different ingredients and dressings. Even celebrities like British chef Nigella Lawson love a good classic.
Earlier this month, Lawson revealed her favourite simple sandwich. This comes after British writer Jack Monroe recently took to Twitter, asking for people's go-to choices, but not the fancy options, the simple ones.
“What’s your favourite simple sandwich? None of this 95 ingredient hand-pulled artisanal guff and nonsense; if you were making a packed lunch for your 9-year-old self, what would your sarnie be?” asked Monroe.
Lawon replied: “Butter, Marmite & lettuce”, to which Monroe also responded: “Absolute god-tier sandwich.”

Lawson’s disclosure received a mixed reaction. Some were horrified by the inclusion of Marmite and called it “revolting” and “controversial”, while others said they regularly ate the same sandwich – that it is “delicious” and “beautiful”.

Some people shared unusual flavour combinations, prompting strong reactions from others.
