What makes sandwich fillings woke?! Does the cheese make you a feminist? Try our Black Lives Matter Egg Salad?! You have to get the I'm A Decent Person Cranberry Mustard?!

First, the Millenials came for the Applebee's, and I ignored it, because Applebee's is gross.

Now the Gen Z have started a WAR ON SANDWICHES!

The mind boggles.

But it is the Daily Fail, so probably best to assume there is no sense behind it. They probably just got an AI to write it.

based on my experience with British cuisine, I would guess the presence of vegetables, sauces, or condiments?
in reply to Estarriol, Cat owned Dragon

@Thebratdragon Oh, I missed that in the headline. In my defense, the times I've been to the UK the ham sammies were just ham and butter on white bread
in reply to @pineywoozle (s) for HARRIS

@Pineywoozle @Dunstable french mustard is ok, prefer English, but mayo? To me that goes on lettuce or chicken, not ham.

A really good ham sandwich is bread, butter, ham (honey roast for me), english mustard, Cheddar cheese, butter and bread.

in reply to Estarriol, Cat owned Dragon

@Thebratdragon A good Mayo like Dukes or a Belgian one with mustard is great on ham. You should try it. LoL the ham is a soft low note & the Mayo and mustard are both sharp/acidic & creamy. It actually adds almost the same note a good cheddar does just a little sharper. 😊 @Dunstable @RickiTarr
in reply to @pineywoozle (s) for HARRIS

@Pineywoozle @Dunstable
Ahh but colmans english mustard is a different breed of mustard. So we get creamy from the butter, sharp from the cheese and spice in the mustard.
in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr

@Thebratdragon @Pineywoozle @Dunstable that's because there is a northern and a southern version of mustard over here and we've been waging a war for centuries over which one is the true German™ mustard.

(southern is dark, sweet and grainy; northern is sharp, tangy and creamy)

@gme I was eating humus and avocado sandwiches* back in the 1980s, so I'm not sure this is a gen Z thing.

*Not necessarily in the same sandwich

@statsguy @gme hummus, avocado, and shredded carrots on whole grain bread with alfalfa sprouts -- this is the truly delicious sandwich that my sister and I were convinced was going to save the world. We never did open that sandwich shop, though.

Oooh yes!

In the past I'd have added plain oil and vinegar to my tinned fish sandwich.

Nowadays there are at least four or five posh adjectives appended to each ingredient.

you know what they say: you can’t spell “sandwich” without “woke” unless you spell it the correct way, just like someone who’s been brainwashed by the woke agenda would. 🤔

Considering the state of "Trad Brit" sandwiches, "woke" ones can only be an improvement.

I will die on the hills of Marmite, Peanut Butter & Crisps or the trad chip butty (ketchup of course).

Oh and screw the Daily Bigoted Bastard (one of the more polite names for that rag).

I commented on somebody else's post that if the sandwich filling is awake, it's likely not vegan.

Are we against sandwiches now because they were named after an earl? That's punching up. I approve.

in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr

It seems obvious from the image: what makes that sandwich "woke" is the brown bread.
Racist sentiments even when it comes to comestibles, what else would you expect from the Little Englander readers of the Daily Heil?
The lettuce presumably refers to sympathies for a green agenda as well - a double whammy.

Back in the day your granny wouldn’t have eaten a chicken salad sandwich unless she’d seen the hen called a racial slur and then slaughtered in front of her. It was also important to discriminate against the tomatoes. Provenance, they called it.

Sandwiches have always been subversive. That's why they have suspiciously revolutionary names like Po' Boy.

"During the 1964 Sproul Hall sit-in, Kate Coleman made sandwiches with Joan Baez. As an investigative journalist she risked retribution by writing about the Black Panthers and Earth First."

RIP Kate Coleman.

Sandwiches are all woke. The right way to eat is to tear out flesh from an animal carcass with a stone implement, and eat it raw. Everything else is woke.

Olde England: anything in a sandwich except classic English ham and mustard is "fancy" and "woke".

Also Olde England: has served curries in school dining halls and poured tamarind sauces (like HP and Worcestershire) over their roast beef for at least a couple of centuries.

@david_megginson And a popular curried chicken sandwich was literally created for the coronation of the previous Queen. The Queen must have been so woke.

@YakyuNightOwl They just can't handle sounding like stereotypical old-timers like their own gramps did, so they make up fancy new slang to complain about changes that naturally happen over time.

in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr

Wa wa wait! Backup a bit. What’s the definition of woke here?

I know originally it was intended to describe someone who was aware of the dangers police posed to black men.

Using the word in any other way is at best confusing, and at worst…? A deliberate attempt to trivialize social sensitivities. It’s not a term that should be used indiscriminately.

@raineyday I guess we do have a decent substitute term in ‘Antiracist’. It’s hard to trivialize that one. Right now, “Woke” as a term has become what we did to “Gay” 15 or so years ago.

I have now read the “woke sandwich” article and there was nothing even slightly woke about it. Continental cheeses* and chicken are “fancy” apparently, and they seem to have put “woke” in the headline for simple ragebait. I hate the Daily Mail.

Back when Obama first ran in 2008, Chris Matthews called him an elitist for the stupidest reason. He went in a cafe somewhere, IIRC the waitress asked if he wanted coffee, but he declined and ordered orange juice isntead. Elitist? What would ol' Anita Bryant, famous anti-gay activist from yesteryear, have to say about that?

I'm very surprised they didn't run with something along the lines of "Illegal Immigrants are stealing British sandwiches", "Avocardo Toast causes cancer" or "Woke sandwiches are turning our children Trans"

In the late sixties, I lived in the shadow of Buckingham Palace. There was a sandwich shop in Palace Street for the many office workers in the area which did not confine itself to meat and mustard fillings.

We were "woke" sixty years ago.

in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr

TBH, it's the Daily Mail: if it's anything less than processed migrant meat, they'll probably have an ideological objection.
in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr

They do make things look like a respectable news outlet.
But with anything more than a cursory appraisal shows itself to be no more than clickbait.

I don't know about elsewhere, but in the UK the DM is filled with ragebait for lazily xenophobic Brexit voting boomers. Not to be touched with a barge pole.

It's just so lazy and unimaginative, the havering, as well.
Like you could construct an interesting argument about Coronation Chicken and its fall from grand celebration meal to sandwich filling using mechanically recovered scraps and what that means for empire, the monarchy and British identity.
But all of their expensive private education and UK columnists can't do anything other than parrot a misappropriated US word like they're toddlers that just learned to say "bum".

Non-woke sandwiches:

--Supplements ordered from info-wars (pre-Onion purchase)
--Jelly beans
--Taco bowl
--Puppies shot in gravel pits
--Not curry (with a JD Vance exception)
in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr

I read the article even though giving Daily Mail any clicks is a rather loathsome thought. But I did it so others wouldn't have to -- haha -- and it did satisfy the suspicion that it's right-wing outrage without a shred of evidence.

The fillings they decry as woke are what you'll have found forever in the prepared food section of any Marks & Spencer in any high street in Britain. Not to mention ubiquitous Prêt à Manger sandwich shops, which have been around for decades. Etc.

in reply to Ricki Gray Area Witch Tarr

Entirely typical of the Daily Fail. Not news and not even sensible. If someone wants a ham and mustard sandwich, there's nothing stopping them from going and making one. "War on sandwiches", indeed!

(For what it's worth, my personal preference is cashew butter sprinkled with linseeds to give it a bit of crunch. I have no idea if that's woke, but I do so hope the Fail thinks it is!)
