The actual Earl of Sandwich
The two hour show has been well received and it certainly makes the whole affair a bit less frantic. The only downside for me is that by 8 0’ clock I am totally ravenous.
At least tonight, I know what I am having for my tea – sandwiches, sandwiches and more sandwiches.
The reason is that tomorrow I am going on MacAulay and Co to take part in their ‘Sandwich board challenge.’ Each week one of our presenters makes a sandwich which is then rated by Fred and his team. Top of the rankings is James Cook’s cheese savoury with a total of 37 1/2 points out of a possible 50.
Being a keen runner I am also a very competitive racer, so I am approaching the sandwich challenge like any other race. I have done the training, sized up the competition, but the night before the big day I am still unsure of how to play it.
Do I go for a dainty, crusts off approach or something chunky and doorstep-like? As for fillings, just way too many options to consider which is why tonight I will be working my way through my fave fillings for dinner.
Being an interactive show, I guess what I should have done was got Get It On listeners to select one ingredient each and make a Scooby snack out of them?
Have a feeling I might be making an early supermarket run in the morning, unless it all goes horribly wrong in which case I'll be stopping past my nearest branch of Subway on my way to work...
