Whether the packaged sandwich industry is setting its sights on dinner, it has long since set its sights on Christmas dinner. A work colleague this year inspired me to update one of my Frequently Given Answers, which I first put up ten years ago. The trend was already observable back then.

- PaulRobinson 9y agoWell, they're not going after Christmas Dinner. It has been a tradition all my life, and in the lives of every Brit I know that on Boxing Day (which is what we call the day after Christmas Day for those of you who aren't British), the family will have sandwiches using leftovers from the Christmas Dinner. This turkey, cranberry, pigs in blankets and vegetable concoction is a very, very fond memory from my childhood. I'm instantly transported back to a very happy time in my life whenever I eat it. It's not surprising then that retailers have tried to mimic it in the month or two before Christmas, and that I will readily give them money for this brief glimpse of happiness in the middle of an otherwise miserable, boring or frustrating average working day.
