In Britain, we absolutely bloody love a crisp sandwich. Thick, sliced bread, with a choice of filling topped off with crunchy, crunchy lashings of crisps.
We can’t get enough of this combo and now, Hovis have teamed up with researchers to finally answer what the nation’s favourite crisp sandwich is.
We asked around the office and some favourites included Flamin’ Hot Monster Munch with, er, mayonnaise, and a combo of cream cheese with salt and vinegar crisps.
The Results Are In: The Nation’s Favourite Crisp Sandwich
The nation’s favourite crisp sandwich is ham and cheese, with mayonnaise (not salad cream – very important) on medium sliced, white bread, cut in half horizontally with a packet of cheese and onion crisps.
You could call it perfectly simple, you could call it boring but according to the research, this is the winning combination.
We knew that this would be a divisive subject, though, and asked for people’s favourite crisp sandwiches
Some chose very interesting combinations:
Others prefer to keep it simple:
