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?!

@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.

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).

Whatever kind of filling it is, #RodLiddle from the #SundayTimes would wear it randomly on his body, like a crude passover mark to the Archangel of Death.

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.

Link to the article (sorry, but I had to check whether this was real) dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

> survey of 2,000 sandwich-lovers by bread manufacturer Allinson's
> 'fancy' fillings like avocado, peppers, chilies, olives and (gasp!) continental cheese (instead of English cheddar, if you, like me, were wondering what insular cheese is)
> the way Brits cut their completed sandwiches is evolving (!)
> the vast majority of baby boomers is not prepared to wait to warm up their snack

@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

@Kishi 😂 oh I’m sure that’s exactly what they’re saying. And they can have all the ham in the world 😂 i lived on a ranch in central Oregon years back and the older guy that came to do work made it a point of pride that he didn’t care if he breathed in RoundUp. I saw him out there spraying it in the wind, the mist blowing straight back in his face and he was proud of himself 🤦‍♂️😂

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.

in reply to Ricki Yasha 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)

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.

*”Oh my god it’s a Brie! Cover your eyes, dear.”

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?

it's the Daily Fail so nothing but gammon-faced rage bait

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"

I didn't read the article so it's very possible at least one of the those was mentioned

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.
