Silas Loom
A lome the lenthe of a yerde
She’s come out against overly-moist sandwiches in a Spectator interview which has attracted considerable mockery for her “let them eat steaks” thoughts on lunching.
‘What’s decompressing, what’s that?’ she grins. Does she break for lunch? ‘What’s a lunch break? Lunch is for wimps. I have food brought in and I work and eat at the same time. There’s no time… Sometimes I will get a steak… I’m not a sandwich person, I don’t think sandwiches are a real food, it’s what you have for breakfast.’ Soggy bread is a no-no: ‘I will not touch bread if it’s moist.’
But she is absolutely on the nail about moistness. Commercially-made sandwiches in this country are ruined by gloopy mayonnaise excess, as if butter wasn’t lubrication enough. If she is going to put an end to mayo, she deserves to be taken seriously. At the least, she should be made sandwich czar after she is ousted from her current role and seat.
