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.

The combination of bacon, lettuce and tomato between slices of bread can be traced back to an entry in Good Housekeeping Everyday cookbook in 1903.

I once drove a 280-mile round trip just to have a Sheffield fishcake butty for lunch.

That's impressive levels of dedication!

The craving had been building for some time and then work announced a 'well-being' day for everyone in the company. Obv., some people used theirs for a spa day, reconnecting with nature, or some intense physical exercise.

Me, I drove to my favourite chippy in Sheffield and got a fishcake butty. No regrets, even though traffic was a bitch on the way home.

One of my friends used to go to the cinema in his lunch break.

Yeah, the firm he worked for wasn't too bothered about tracking people's hours and there was a cinema next door, so he could just wander in and pick a film that had recently started (which saves you 20-30 minutes).
