Decent home made sandwiches is an art that isn’t common in the UK for certain. However they limp simple things have two characteristics that the others don’t have: they will taste no worse after four hours banging around on public transport and they are extremely cheap. To keep yourself in a healthy supply of good sandwiches with variety means that you have to purchase a large variety of expensive things in and expend a lot of time. Time and money are lacking. Ergo the prepackaged ones are a good trade off especially under the “meal deal” banner.
Plus you can now waltz in and out of a supermarket without talking to a single soul here and sit there on your own at lunch being miserable, another British pastime which I throughly enjoy :)
- osrec 9y agoYou use such a cheery tone to describe your misery! How typically British!
- eru 9y agoThe "meal deal" was always confusing to me. Specifically I refer to the customary inclusion of crisps in the meal. This doesn't compute for a German. > Plus you can now waltz in and out of a supermarket without talking to a single soul here and sit there on your own at lunch being miserable, another British pastime which I throughly enjoy :) But, do you still get to queue? And who do you complain to about the weather?
- cjsuk 9y agoI’d rather have a German breakfast for lunch but that’s impossible here. I have some German blood, from Essen, which is a town of great eaters apparently. Doritos it is instead. Although I’ve taken to getting popcorn with my lunch now. It’s actually quite nice! Of course I queue, silently and obediently, while posting about how cold it is on the messaging app of the hour :)
