Who doesn't love a sandwich? Not I, not you, not ANYONE. Sandwiches have been shaping the lunchtime landscape since our forefather, dear old Lord John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich slammed half a salt-cured boar between two mealy doorstops and said "scrummy!" Since then we have been forever modernising, refining and just downright jazzing up our sandwiches. When will it end? When we can no longer improve. When that elusive and mystical beast has at last been found out. When we are holding the very Messiah of sandwiches in our hands and looking it in the eye, or the olive, as it may later turn out to be, and feel its unearthly goodness climb inside our souls and wear us like glove puppets. Until then my friends, I leave you with this unbearably seductive selection of the top 10 new best sandwiches from across the pond. In particular, the Portland-crafted Maple moistens my loins. Enjoy, dear friends, and continue to dream. It's all we can do.
