Us Brits can be a funny bunch when it comes to sandwiches.
With so many choices of filling, let alone what bread it goes on, the options are endless and most people have a favourite.
My go-to butty is generally cheese and ham, usually because I have no fresh salad in to go with it - well that's my excuse anyway.
So when on the odd occasion I do grab a sandwich to go, I like to pick something a bit more adventurous.

According to Tesco, the nation's favourite sandwich is the all-day breakfast and the supermarket's Sausage, Bacon & Egg Triple Sandwich has been its best-selling sandwich for the past three years, with more than a million sold on average each month.
I've bought a fair few of those in the past, along with the other favourites, including Triple Chicken, and Cheese & Onion.
But now the retailer has souped-up its butty selection by introducing five new limited edition sandwiches.
They're all pretty different - two of them subs, two wraps and one on tomato bread.
To coincide with British Sandwich Week, which ends on May 28, I decided to give three of them a try.
Being a big fan of barbecue, I went for the Fire Pit Smoky BBQ Chicken Sub first - chicken breast and sweetcorn in barbecue sauce with Red Leicester cheese and pickled red onion in a maize topped white sub roll.
While not particularly strong on the barbecue front, it was still pretty tasty and certainly more filling than sandwiches I've had elsewhere.
Next up was the Chicken Shawarma Wrap - tender chicken breast in a spiced Middle Eastern inspired Shawarma dressing with cucumber, spinach and hot pepperoncini in a tomato tortilla wrap.
It's not something I'd usually go for - anything

Foo Fighters have surpassed Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in their race for the Number One spot on the Official Album Charts.Both released their latest full-length albums last Friday (June 2), and as it stands, they are competing to top the charts in a race that is too close to call.The competition is one of the closest chart battles in recent years, and sees Foo Fighters’ ‘But Here We Are’ — their first album since the sudden death of Taylor Hawkins last March — take on ‘Council Skies’, the fourth studio effort from Noel Gallagher’s solo project.First reported by NME on Tuesday (June 6), the midweek mark showed that Gallagher had only just claimed the Number One position and that Dave Grohl and co. were sitting in second place — although just 200 units separated the two.Now, just one day before this week’s Official Number One album is revealed on BBC Radio 1’s The Official Chart (June 9, from 4pm BST), the American rock veterans have surpassed the former Oasis member, and are currently in peak position.Although the five-piece are close to being certified the chart toppers with ‘But Here We Are’, the race is still too close to call as, at time of writing, they are only in the lead by a mere 500 units.A lot is at stake for both artists.
