Caviar attitudes

To continue in our search for the perfect sandwich. Hang on! What are we saying? We continue in our horrified fascination at your disgusting eating habits.
This week, we start with the ‘Scooby Snack’, an unlikely sandwich created at university (where else?) by Chris Fields, at the Independent Review Service.
‘Nearly impossible to eat, but giving you a meal for a week, it consisted of two slices of thick white bread, Supernoodles, tuna, mushrooms, onion rings, lashings of cheap salad cream and the crowning glory, acting as a centre piece of bread and stabiliser: the Kwik Save mini cheese and tomato pizza.’
After that, it’s a relief to see that David Gray, at Thales Joint Systems, is recommending a Christmas favourite for those of you who have to work the holiday season.
‘Bread, cranberry, mature Cheddar cheese, piccalilli, ham, halved silverskin pickled onions, turkey, stuffing, cranberry (again), bread.’
We assume the order is important, perhaps to stop the onions falling out.
And if you’ve ever asked yourself the question: ‘what sort of sandwich would an IT director order for himself?’, ask no more.
‘Reading your alternative sandwich fillings reminded me of an old favourite of my own – caviar and peanut butter on toast,’ says Johnathan Wootton, who is head IT honcho at Nvesta.
‘Evenly spread the peanut butter, then gently add the caviar on top so that it sinks in. It works best with smooth peanut butter so as not to distract from the texture of the caviar,’ he adds – but then you knew that already.
