Mouse Sarnie
Mouse Sarnie
The next time you make a sandwich, make sure you thoroughly check the loaf you are using is rodent free.
Stephen Forse found a dead mouse in his loaf Hovis Best of Both from Tesco Online, supplied from a branch in Bicester.
The manufacturer, Premier Foods, was fined £5,500 and ordered to pay £11,109 in costs.

The £110 Cheese Sarnie
Those of you with more money than sense, may care to purchase the £110 cheese sarnie from the Frome Cheese Show in Somerset.
The sandwich is the creation of chef Martin Blunos, and is made with cheddar blended with white truffles and sprinkled with gold dust.
Personally speaking I am not much of a fan of cheese sarnies, most especially if they cost £110!
They are applying for the Guiness Book of Record's for the world's most expensive cheese sandwich. I wonder if they have heaard of the £345 Welsh Rarebit created by Tom Bridge in 2006?

Audience Eats Sandwich
Audience Eats Sandwich
Commiserations to the organisers of a Tehran food festival, who spent two days building what they hoped would be the world's longest sandwich (made of ostrich meat).
Unfortunately, the crowd of spectators rushed to eat it before anyone had a chance to measure it.
Over 1,000 volunteers worked on the 1,500 metre sandwich, which contained a tonne of ostrich meat and hundreds of loaves.
The organisers will send video footage and photographs of the sandwich to Guinness officials, to try to convince them to include it in the record books.

The Dangers of Sandwiches
The Dangers of Sandwiches
Last night's Dispatches programme on Channel 4 delivered a stinging critique of the British sandwich industry (worth £5BN).
Dispatches showed that sandwiches from some of the top retailers contain huge amounts of salt and fat; many are also bulked up with chemicals, water and starch.
"Proper thick ham", as described on the front of one packet of sandwiches, was in reality (as per the small print on the back) formed from pork products. This being rendered meat; whereby the carcass is subjected to a powerjet that removes all fat, gristle and meat which is then reformed into textured slices.
Nice!
The programme also secretly filmed the shockingly unhygienic practices at one factory that supplies small shops and garages.
Take a careful look at the ingredients next time you buy a sandwich. It is far better to make your own.
