Sandwiches; a slice of life

HOW sandwiches have changed since my teens, when the choice was ham, cheese or salad.

When one went to a ballroom of romance like Las Vegas in Templemore, if a likely lad invited you to have a ham sandwich and as well as a mineral, that coded message meant you were in with a good chance.

Sandwiches are now the food of the moment perfect for a grab, gobble and go lifestyle and a perfect basic for creative chefs and all the rest of us to play with ideas and flavour combinations.
