The BLT has been crowned the UK’s favourite sandwich for 2024 in a recent poll, with 28% of respondents saying they were a fan.

So what’s your favourite sandwich?
I honestly don’t think that’s it. I think something screwy happened with this poll, but I can’t find it to verify. Seems Hovis only released this to the press.
Do we need our own poll?
Yes! We need to uncover the truth Big Bread is hiding from us!
Bastards! I’m on it!
I’m excited to see this. I also got the feeling it was a loaded question because there a a ton of classics not represented: bacon butties, chip butties, cheese and onion, ham and mustard, sausage, baked bean toasties, cucumber, jam, peanut butter. I guess they could be lower ranking but I doubt that about the first few at least.
Misread your list and wondered deeply at ‘cucumber jam’. Not prepared to try it on the off-chance, mind you.
Sugar butties.
