The "is a burger a sandwich?" debate rolls on and on without conclusion, but now a judge in the U.S. has entered the chat with a controversial new ruling. Superior Court Judge Craig Bobay of Allen County, Indiana, determined that "tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches" when presiding over a case brought to the courts by a restaurant owner hoping to open a location in the city of Fort Wayne. Here's more on the legal battle, but what do you think?
Flicking idly through one of my sandwich books, I noticed that a recipe for a ploughman's (with homemade piccalilli) has a little note: for a healthier alternative, leave out the cheese.
I'm sorry but WHAT
For one thing, nobody wants a plain piccalilli sandwich, that's not what piccalilli is for.
But moreover, it literally is not a ploughman's without cheese! The term 'ploughman's lunch' was invented by the Milk Marketing Board in the 1950s as a way to encourage people to eat more cheese post-rationing.
How dare they!
(One might also question whether piccalilli rather than Branston-style pickle is appropriate but that's another question)
