Since then, variations on the sandwich theme have piled up all over the world – tramezzini in Italy, Hot Dogs in New York, le jambon-beurre in Parisian bars, the world-wide hamburger and the Ham Bao Bao in Beijing. But more importantly, the sandwich has revolutionised our lifestyles, from the working-men’s mobile companion to the associate of women’s liberation in the seventies. Often decried by dieticians, it is back with a bang today, and is increasingly organic, attractive and scrumptious !
