When I first started traveling under my own steam around Europe, it took me a while to realise that sandwiches, which seem so obvious as to be universal, are such a British thing. Wandering around a foreign city, expecting to be able to just grab a sandwich from almost anywhere and continue sightseeing, only to discover that sandwiches (at that time) just didn't exist was a jarring experience.
- stevekemp 9y agoSame here - I moved from Scotland to Finland and I still catch myself thinking "I'll pop into this corner shop for a sandwich". Larger grocery stores do indeed sell sandwiches, but the selection is very small, and they're just not quite "right". Fast food is easy, but sometimes you just want to sit down drink a decent cup of tea & have a sandwich..
